    Credit Card, Debt Card, Cash, excuse for your girlfriend/wife why you spent so much /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default//emoticons/wink.gif Ok now I am serious... Bring a cooler of some sort and maybe pick up some hand warmers or toe warmers(they stick so can be stuck to the side of the cooler) pending what the weather will be like. Maybe something to shove in the cooler like newspaper to keep bags from moving around also.

    Something I always forget to bring is a marker. I always come home thinking, "Crap, what coral was that again. Who did I get this coral from again? How much did I pay for this again?"

    It would be nice to quick write who you bought it from, what the name of it is, and how much you paid for it...

    I always forget to leave my wife at home. LOL. Bring plenty of money, plan on an all day thing and plan on having fun. Great speakers, awesome people and overall a great time. Shaun

    I'm always sorry I didn't bring more money.

    Oh yeah, the raffle is way worth a few tickets too.

    the thing about brining lots of money.  i dont have lots, nor do i have much room in my 55gal so i should be good.

    Also, I might be bringing a laser pointer if I can remember it. That way I'm not asking, "How much for that coral? No the other one, no behind it, just in front of that one, no the yellow one!"
