ToxicPoison Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Hopefully this isn't out of line, but I was wondering if local meet-ups were ever discussed? I know we have monthly meetings for PNWMAS, but I thought it would be cool for people in the same area (Portland, in my case) to meet up and maybe check out other member's tanks? This wouldn't replace the monthly meetings, but perhaps supplement them? Maybe have 2 or 3 people volunteer to show off/discuss their tank setups every month and other people could give feedback/suggestions/comments/drooling jealousy/etc. I also see this making "Help! I have a mouse stuck in my overflow" posts a lot easier to deal with since people will know how tanks are set up, and won't have to rely on (sometimes blurry) pictures. Thoughts? Comments? People with flaming pitchforks ready to ride me out of town on a rail? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USCG CWO Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Actually, local meet and greets are encouraged and since you volenteered......when's the one at your house? Shane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

half-astronaut Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Back in Minneapolis, most of the monthly TCMAS meetings were at people's houses. Its always interesting to see how systems are set up and, of course, window shop for the next round of frags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReeFit Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 thats what tank threads are for with pics i like getting out and seeing everyones tanks too. the whole trading thing kind of helps with that as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shane Emerald525 You're in my area of town thanks for volunteering Let me know what day you were thinking! I actually took 3 weeks off starting next Monday so..I wouldn't mind to be honest. It's not nearly impressive as a lot of the tanks on here though. I'd also need to clean up the "fishroom" in the basement too...

I have Monday off as well and most of the LFS are closed so what else do we have to do....(whistle) Ok well I might not be able to join in the festivities but I think this is a great idea!

newfisher Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 We have had a few here in Eugene. Its fun once it happens. Plan several hours for the tank tours( the best part) but plan weeks to get everyone to settle on one day!!! Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algae Posted August 5, 2010 Share Posted August 5, 2010 LOL. It's organizing ferrets! There is always one that needs to get a pedicure on that day. Best case is to get a date and time that 95% agree upon. Also, it is best to keep it to two or three tanks. At least one experienced and one newbie, IMHO.

ToxicPoison Posted August 5, 2010 Author Share Posted August 5, 2010 Wow ok...glad people are onboard. I guess I just need to know who is interested and what day/time works... I'm pretty open for the most part, just have a bunch of visitors coming to town the 19th-24th or so, I forget the exact dates... Sunday may not be do-able for me..I kinda feel like I promised the wife I'd do something, but damned if I can remember what right now... Who else is down?
