    So anyone have any ideas?
    I could host a grill out or something. My roommates are starting to get into the whole saltwater thign so i think meeting a few people in the hobby would encourage them to slow down a bit and do things right.

    Sounds great. Schedule a date and let er rip. Aug 9, 16-17, and 31 I'm busy with weddings. Not that you have to schedule around me, but... hey... you know I'll actually show up if you do.

    I am so in - despite you not inviting ME to the Rib fest.  I think that means you owe me a beer.

    I've got a wedding on the 2nd, I'll be out of town the weekend of th 9th and I'm guessing I'll have labor day plans the 31st. So as of right now we're looking at the weekend of the 23rd (at least if we're going of schedules of those who have posted.)

    I am having a party at my place next Saturday the 2nd. This can be in addition to an August get together or in conjunction with or whatever. Anyway, club members are invited. Maybe an Ames/Boone tank tour can be tied in although I may be the only one to see and I wouldn't be able to go to any others.
    Anyway, I guess this is supposed to be my 40th BDay bash. But we have a summer party every year. Last year we ended up with about 70 people. We grill, drink, play volleyball, build a fire and then watch fireworks. As many know I live in the boonies (north of Boone) so there is plenty or room. So bring your lawn chairs, favorite meat, favorite drink and feel free to bring a tent and spend the night!
    PM me with your email if you need a map.

    Weekend of the 23rd looks like it may work best for most.

    (Sorry Joel, I hate seeing friends growing old and fragile.) /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

    Actually, we are changed all of our route accounting software over the first weekend of August so I wouldn't be able to make that anyway...

    The only conflict I have on the 23rd is a fantasy football draft from 2 or 3 til about 5 or 6.
    Joel - have fun at your party, I'll be at a wedding so unable to attend.

    OK. I am setting a date.

    The date is August 24th at 2:00 pm at my place in Altoona. I will post up directions when we get a bit closer. I will provide burgers, turkey burgers, and hot dogs. I request that we do like a potluck style when you folks bring sides. If you plan on attending, post up what you will be bringing (I like potato salad...). Also, you are welcome to bring your beverage of choice.

    We will relax, talk tanks and stuff and just have a general good time. My tank and my roommate's tank will be available for observation plus i get to show off my newest project!!

    We can then have an impromptu tank tour if we want. I know a few folks are in the Altoona/Pleasant Hill/Boundurant area but I don't want to volunteer them for tank showings.

    Anyway, this is what we got...

    I'm in, and I just put it on my calendar.

    I'm not sure what side I'll be bringing, but presumably I'm gonna stop at a store and grab something on the way over (like chips and dip, potato salad, coleslaw, something along those lines)

    That'd be great to see your tanks, and I'm sure more than one of us would chime in on how to rid a tank of algae /DesktopModules/NTForums/themes/_default/emoticons/smile.gif
