+1 on the t shirts! I'm a t shirt *****! lol The free LED's are really really sweet....but it just makes me want to put together a whole LED system!

BTW I got 2 bottles of liquid calcium that I'm never going to use if somebody wants to drop by my house here in IC sometime, check out my tank, and pick up some kent liq ca you're welcome to it! I'll be free Thursday night pm me if interested.

 

I got what felt like hit by a bus Saturday morning, blisters on my feet, and a kick *** ceramic sculpture from The Alternative Reef.

Now "I got" a MACNA hangover...

Oh yeah, I won a bucket of salt /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/biggrin.gif Thank God hubby was there to lug that /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif

 

I got a lot of ideas for what i would like to do next. Also about a half dozen commitments from vendors for fall fest. I personally feel the biggest thing I came back with was all the great feedback from every single vendor at the show. not only were they impressed with how well the show was put on, but with the club itself and all the special attention they got. 1 guy said he was about to freak out because he didnt have any "chew" and one of the club members put him in a truck and drove him someplace to get some.

Probably doesn't belong in this thread but that is what i brought home with me.

 

Sore feet, a headache, and a sense of pride.

 

All I can say is WOW what a show!!!

 

I got a pair of the black ice snowflake clowns. Those sold like hotcakes but I snagged mine early so I got some awesome patterns. Didn't end up with any corals though. Was waiting till the very end and got stuck watching a booth since a vendor had to leave early. No biggie. I was really hoping for some clowns so I got what I wanted /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/smile.gif

I couldn't believe all of the free goodies and samples!

I got a biocube at a steal from a vendor that used it as an exhibit.

On the raffle I got a reef capable marineland led light, the portal, Tom's Deco 3g nano, phyto and zoo plankton pack, and a frag cave from eshopps (they were gone, so im still waiting for them to reply to an email.)

Thank you so much to all that put this amazing event together. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of work some of you put in compared to my measly hours of working the floor and door.

@Troy: you will be very happy with that stuff from inTank. I have a basket in my 14g BC and love it and will be putting his stuff in my new 29g.

 

I was only able to go Sunday for family , work and money reasons. But I was able to restock my little tank for what 90 bucks. The 10 dollar frags really helped a lot. The freebies will keep my nano feed for a year or more. The shirts are great. Plus My wife , son and I got pictures with Brett from Tanked. So wanted to take that circle tank that was overflowing from the ora display. My wife who never really got into the aquarium stuff was floored by this and we had a great time. We meet great vendors and I talked till I was blue in the face. Over all the 3 hours I got to be there were the highlight of my year . I only wish I could have been there longer . Thanks to everyone who worked and made this happen it was a great event that my whole family enjoyed.
