DFWMAS Frag Swap, May 20th

[Opus]

Hard to be a success with people dropping out at the last minute.

 

[Ssindt]

Or maybe make it more successful? 

 

[Opus]

Does ARK Aquatics have more than 1 setup?  They are shown as being at the big OK show on the 20th also.

 

[Billy]

Good question.  We will find out.

[Report][ PM] "Or maybe make it more successful? " It could but with fewer people selling it is making it real hard for me to justify a 1 1/2 drive to get there.

I'm seeing conflicting start times. Is it 11 or 12?

<hr />Opus pm me what are you interested in?

I hate to see so many backing out.  Last club swap was awesome with so many sellers!  We need more big frag swaps in the area.

 

[Opus]

I think we have had too many may be part of the issue.  Also, not sure how much the OK swap is taking away from this one.  I would probably go if my son didn't have a soccer game.    Would love to see Gonzo and Cherry Corals.  I went to the one in Houston several weeks back and it was great.   Reminded me of what we used to have here many years ago.

 

[Opus]

Really just like to look.   Only thing currently on my list is a speckled krak.

 

[Pole]

 Quotes on these forums suck... Really no reason we can't get there again.  Looking forward to seeing what everyone has and picking up a few pieces.  This is my last haul before MACNA.  Gotta save up a bit.

The frag swap starts at 11am.  Where did you see that it started at 12.  We must have had a typo somewhere.

 

[jccaclimber]

Billy, does setup also open at 11, or some other time?

 

[Billy]

Setup for sellers starts at 8am.  That way it will give your corals enough time to open up and be pretty.

The email that went out about the frag swap on Friday May 12th.

 

[Ssindt]

I think we need to get a show like RAP or fragniappe put dfw back on the map! Dfwmas has a great place to hold a swap it a very large venue.
