4th Annual MFK SoCal 2009 : Saturday August 8, 2009 : House of Sam

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
We don't need to 'get' anything for it to be a good meet, that's not what it's about.

It's about chilling with fellow forum members you wouldn't normally meet, network a bit, enjoy getting to see PTC's badarse aquaria, etc...

Fine, I'll start a swap meet thread :)



One more point, the meet is sort of a 'for mfk by mfk' I thought, so if anyone has ideas about food (potluck sounds good to me) lets get'r done!
 
I dont know if there is an RSVP list, but put drewmprs +1 on it.
 
"We don't need to 'get' anything for it to be a good meet, that's not what it's about."

lol did i ever say that we needed to get anything? i was pointing out the differences between this year and last year.

"One more point, the meet is sort of a 'for mfk by mfk' I thought,"

really? last year neo and R1 pretty much planned the entire get together. how exactly is that 'for mfk by mfk'? 95% of the people who showed up were there to enjoy each others company and jon's amazing tanks, not be directly involved in the planning of an event where 100+ people show up.

does that mean we shouldn't do it differently this year? maybe cohazard is right. maybe we need to plan for a pot luck lunch? and do our own swap meet thread like we did last year.

My post wasn't directed towards you lol, it was towards mkman's joke:

the economy is bad so this years meet is gonna be much more economical. Instead of shirts and expensive free fish, you will get a bag with goldfish in it and Li's autograph. :D :D





You bring up a good point about the planning though, but since Joey is a regular member (mostly) like the rest of us, and he was able to plan most of the meet, that means that a lot of us could help, why just put all the pressure on two guys shoulders?
 
should we start a pot luck lunch thread? or make a list of the folks that have already said they will be here and PM them to get commitments for food?

Good question, we should definitely get a list going of whos going. The only problem I'm seeing with a pot luck is that people show up at different times, and the later folks might feel left out (I was late last year, missed out on the tank decals :( lol )

How did Lis idea work out last year with the pre-paid catering order? I didn't jump in on that so I don't know.

I created a Swap-Meet thread for this years meet:

2009 SoCal Swap Meet Thread!
 
ok.. i guess i'll start a list and start a potluck thread and PM everybody the link to the thread.

i just hope i'm not stepping on anyone's toes..
