Keep me posted on the viper geckos if you can, I may be interested in another. I picked mine up from Alex Hue a month or so ago. As for leo's, I'm in the market for albino/blizzard/enigma right now.

[dizzydac]

I wrote this on my calendar! I live in York and have been looking for other reefers in the area...
BTW- TFP is running a 25% coupon on Mon. Tues. and Wed. in April... It starts TODAY (I am using it to buy my MH's -- YAY YAY SUPER PUMPED)

[Ladyblue82]

[tekonus]

Hehe, my gps says its only a 4 hour drive... of course thats probably assuming I go the speed limit. Hmm I'll have to see if I can go.

[snoopy65]

Wish I could. I will be there in spirit!!

[msjinkzd]

[kjr928]

Would love to but I am getting ready to MOVE! Bummer. Why don't we meet at TFP more often?

[black_sun]

3 hr drive.... hmm, eh. What else am I going to do on a weekend? lol

[Vicious_Fish]

Well Jinkz, as you know I'll definitely be there. :D

[msjinkzd]

[laudy000]

Yep, I'll definitely be there.

[Scrufdog]

I'll be there.

[PuppyFluffer]

I am backing out. I really thought I'd be there but it's further than I thought and I have a morning commitment to shave a dog that needs to be tranquilized. I have just gotten really crunched with stuff to do at home that I had to reschedule due to sick kids.

[msjinkzd]

bummer karen!

[chazsgirl]

so what's everyone bringing? anyone taking orders for pick-up?

[msjinkzd]

Also, if anyone wants to hang out at my place after the meet you are welcome, but please bring a contribution to the food/beverage part. I will just be hanging out, making a fire pit, and bbq'ing :)

[ryverrat]

I'll be there- need some new stuff for Bud and Junior's tank.

[Scrufdog]

any idea how many people will be at the Q?

[msjinkzd]

Its not formal, hard to say not knowing, lol. I know VF and Lifeless_form will be there. I didn't do anythign organized because my husband is working nights and my kids will all be here.

[Vicious_Fish]

Cheap Leopard Geckos! Come on people, everyone should have at least one. :D

[Chrisinator]

Word. You guys need to come to New York City for once.

[msjinkzd]

[Chrisinator]

[Chrisinator]

Okay, NEW PLACE!. Come to my house on saturday for a meeting at 11 o'clock. I'll give you some Flame Moss. :)

Stop tempting me!! I've been told I have too many animals now, and banned from the hedgehog I wanted - due to buying the Panther Chameleon.

There's no harm in looking. :D

[darkcirca]

I always end up buying though! I went to pickup feeders in December, and came home with a 3 month old chameleon. Definitely more than I was planning to spend..

I may just have to come "look" and hopefully not buy. I need to save room for that AFT I wanted..

[Hurley]

I'm planning on being there. I'm not in the market for anything but it still looks like fun! I'm not sure what time I will actually make it there but hopefully I will run into some ACers!

[Dopehand]

CURSE MY WEST COAST LOCATION!

Oh good! I hope you make it :)

[Scrufdog]

I'm bringing some chicken legs. Got 7 marinating in Devil's Spit Spicy BBQ and 6 in Jack Daniel's regular BBQ sauce.

[smokin]

[darkcirca]

Looks like I won't make the actual meet - it's just after 9AM and I'm still sitting at home over 2 hours away. Gotta grab some breakfast then head on out.

If you spot me, come say hi. I've got my "The Reptile File" shirt on, OR my NO HR669 shirt, depending what I decide.

Sounds great! Look for the girl with the mohawk and 2 little blonde girls :D

[Hurley]

We should be there around 12:30 or 1. Hopefully you all will still be there!

[msjinkzd]

Thanks to everyone who came! There was a much better Ac representation this year. Also glad to all those who came to my house and deepest apologies to anyone I lost in the madness that didn't get to follow me back to my house.

[PuppyFluffer]

Is this an annual event? I will be there next year if so!

[msjinkzd]

Yuppers! They have it every year :)

[Hurley]

Thanks for having us! Ricky and I had fun and the food was good! :)

[Vicious_Fish]

It was great meeting you guys who made it to the meet and Rachel's. I look forward to hopefully seeing everyone again next year. :)

[msjinkzd]

Thanks again LifelessForm for manning the grill and to everyone who brought stuff.

[Scrufdog]

[Finman57]

Yup that was me, I was one of the few who broke off. It was all good though, at least I only spent 80 bucks, and got stuff I needed, could have been ALOT worse. Now I know what to expect and I will definetly be back next year! TFP is awesome and so are these forums! I just wish TFP had a satelite location in DE :(

[chazsgirl]

I apparently I missed alot! but somehow managed to spend almost $90 at the store! had a great time in a new store though!

[coach_z]

sounds like everyone had a lot of fun....maybe ill make it there next year the store looks cool too.
