Too bad it's not in our Midwestern part of Wisconsin!

[Dolfan0925]

I posted this everywhere because in our last swap we had people from Tennessee come. So I wasn't going to assume that anyone was too far. It's looking like Midwest Reefs is going to be there and I believe he's in Iowa. :D

[Dolfan0925]

Are there many reefers within driving distance of Cincy?

[perpetual98]

I'm within driving distance of Cincy, but I'm not going to drive to Cincy. lol :)

[Dolfan0925]

Awe come on, everyone I can get to come from WI gets a free 6 pack! :D

[perpetual98]

Now if you pay for my gas, we might have something. ;)

[Dolfan0925]

I think it might be cheaper if I just paid for your flight! :D

[perpetual98]

lol. Probably

[dakar]

Awe come on, everyone I can get to come from WI gets a free 6 pack! :D

Make it 2 6-packs of 5gal cans of diesel fuel and Angel and I will be there! 500 miles one way for us.... airfare might be a lot cheaper than filling up my truck twice.

Wonder how the airlines would deal with carry-on coolers filled with frags. :roll:

[Reef_Angel]

Yep....we sure would be, but you have to make it 2 cases of Mountain Dew!!
We're at the point in our 180G that there's no place to sit on the rocks! lol Then again, we're putting the 55G back up in my office. That will make 4 tanks for me to take care of! Yikes......

Heard about this a few days ago. Just wish my tank was up and running. I would walk there just to get some nice stuff. lol

[Dolfan0925]

Tell all your friends! If you need a ride I could probably get something arranged.

[Guido]

LoL, I'm 19... wouldn't be walking anywhere unless it's to the bathroom lol.

But I actually might show up. My mom is interested so i might go with her. They got beer there? :-)

[Dolfan0925]

No beer, the venue is regularly used as a teen club so they don't serve it. That and we don't need anyone carrying around a beer(that's already had 4 or 5) leaning over to look at a frag and dropping their beer in the tank and killing all the coral.

BYOB and it can't come in the facility is a good rule of thumb.

Besides, you're 19 remember! :D

[Guido]

LoL. Good point, never really looked at it that way. Darn sloppy drunks! I usually just throw stuff, don't ever really drop things lol. But ya, probably best no one is drunk around they expensive equipment and stuff.

Also, being 19 never stopped me before lol. (Don't think it really stops anyone haha)
