At this point hubby's arrival date home has just been bumped up to Sunday so I may not be attending. If he's coming later then you are welcome to ride with me, not sure you'd want to be stuck there from dawn till the bitter end though. I left my house at 8am this morning for London and arrived home at 8:15pm. :err:

[Pamelajo]

Are you possibly standing me up again? A broken ankle is one thing, but hubby's arrival does not count!:wink: I just an in the midst of making critter crumbs to bring you.

Keep me posted!

Critter crumbs? What husband!!! Very rarely does my husband arrive when he says he's going to lol. He said Sunday so my bet is Thurs or Friday or in another month lol.

[KnaveTO]

Hmmm... stuck there till the bitter end.... no major hardship if there is shopping available

[Pamelajo]

Still trying to get the day off. Anyone else going to Hamilton???

[Katalyst]

I'm going for sure, hubby is still throwing himself out of planes. My In laws are trying to convince me to go there afterwards, if hubby goes. I keep trying to explain the concept of having stressed fish in a bag. Stressed fish=Stressed Out Owner. But of course, they are just fish! :rolleyes:
I told her to stop by the auction, then I can hide/sit with Pam. :DevilGrin:

[KnaveTO]

Will definately be going myself. Kat... you will have to send me a pic so that I know what you look like so that I can say hi... you have taken care of my fish and still I have no idea what you look like... LOL

[Katalyst]

Look for the crazy chick in the cammo cap or just listen for the Brooklyn accent lol.

[Pamelajo]

Ross! Check out the picture thread!! It is a good enough pic that I was able to recognize her last time. I am off I think, just have to check my request for a signature!!! So yes I will hide you!! And have a whole bag of critter crumbs ready for you. What time are you going for Kat?

From registration onward. I will have some shrimp and fish for you as well! The fish will be happy I'm not the one cookin'! :laugh:

[Katalyst]

I'll be wearing my standard uniform, black longsleeve shirt or sweater, jeans and probally my cammo cap as its going to be a very early morning for me. I'll be up before dawn bagging fish so look for the haggard bleary eyed version of that pic lol.

[KnaveTO]

Well I am definately comming... getting a ride with a friend (maybe more :wink: ) Will look out for you.

[Pamelajo]

See you guys tomorrow!!!

[CACAdmin]

Good luck to everyone going... we'll be eager to hear about what awesome stuff you manage to get.

[Pamelajo]

Got everything organized for tomorrow. All labels made, sellers sheet ready. Dry goods labeled and packed. So just have to bag everyone and stick the labels on.
Ross are you taking anything to sell? And are you looking for anything in particular?

I totally forgot about the seller sheets! I've been printing out labels. Thanks for the reminder! I should be there around 9-9:15 ish....

[KnaveTO]

I just created a fillable PDF of their seller's sheet if you want it Kat... just send me a pm with your email and I will send it to you tonight...

dealing with some labels myself right now

[Katalyst]

Awesome thanks!

[KnaveTO]

Sent out now Kat

[Katalyst]

I had a great time Pam and I took turns bidding on the same items and confusing the auctioneers...I wouldn't let her bid on my shrimp :laugh:. It was so nice to finally meet Ross (Knave TO). Your friend is a VERY patient person! Even I want to take him to lunch for his patience! A great day was had by all...

I came home with some starlight plecos, more phantom aspidoras, longfinned albino corys & some more weitzmani's. And a BOAT LOAD of critter crumbs! :yes:

[Pamelajo]

I don't think you got a boat load!:nah:But enough to do you for awhile. Yes it was nice to meet Ross and his very patient friend. :yes: When bidding on Kat's shrimp I think we had the poor auctioneer wondering,:eek: I keep bidding she keeps telling me no. Yes it was a great day Kat brought me a bag of shrimp and I managed to buy a bag also of hers. I also got some weitzmani's and also some black phantom aspidoras, which are so cute. We have similar tastes can you tell.
And no we were not outbidding each other just took turns on them. They were from our favourite breeder down here.

We saw soooooo many angel fish.

[KnaveTO]

Yeah Dav is a very patient man. I took him out for lunch afterwards... I am probably going to have to give a hand one of these weekends on renovations for his house as payback... LOL

Walked out of there with a baby L66 and a trio synos petricola to go with the lonely guy in my tank. It was nice to finally meet Kat and Pam.

And yes it seemed almost every table had a couple of bags of Angels AND a couple of bags of BN's

[CACAdmin]

Sure sounds like it was a successful day at the auction. Congrats to each of you on your finds.

[Lisachromis]

Sorry I missed it, but we'd already gone to Waterloo to have a meeting about the next CAOAC convention in '09. It will be the 50th! We'll have some info to post on it soon.

Hamilton always has good auctions. No show though?
