First off i would like to say a huge thank you to Grant and staff at Port Credit Pet Centers for yet another flawless show

This show was suppose to be slower than usual, but with the amount of advertisement renerated from the site, along with pcpc, and great ppl like yourselves coming out for it...the show was a huge success...busier than any on dreamed!!! :D

Every vendor i talked to told me they had done extremely well with sales that day. Lots of our members took home great new pets and were able to find most of what they were looking for. :)

The sSnakeSs.com booth did extremely well. By the end of the day our table looked bare!!! Thanks again those who bought items and supported us! :D

This show was a first time multi-media display for the site...We featured a computer display showing the site, complete with over 1200 of your pictures, and all timed to music. We got huge compliments on the set up...and even had vendors scream at us to put the music back on when it had finished looping through!!!

It was such a success, that we are now working on a larger display for possibly the next show. Our future goals would like to see a full multimedia display with over head monitors, tonnes of sound...more pictures and possibly a live web broadcast...bring all of us...right to your living rooms :D

With the busy display and sales came sheer madness from the large crowds hovering around us all day...a special thank you goes out to Matt K, Trace, and Kat, who all gave Jeff and i a hand at the booth from time to time when we needed it...thanks guys..you made our day smoother :D

Okay....enough talk...here is the pics..enjoy :D

The day greeted us at the show early in the morning with harsh winds blowing from the North. The day however soon warmed up and even gave us some sunlight which mad going outside bareable. Here is a pic of the outside of the venue around 7:30 a.m.

Here is a look at the inside of the venue early in the morning when we arrived...as you can see...there wasn't many vendors there yet...as Jeff likes to drag me out of bed at about 4 a.m. for a show that starts at 8:30 a.m. that is only about twenty minutes from my house!!! :D

What could bring more pleasure than meeting up with the man behind the show. This is Grant from Port Credit Pet Centers. The host of our show..and quite frankly one of the most handsome ppl i have even met....and yes..thats him smiling as he greets me in the morning...about the same look he always has when i talk to him. Poor Grant gets up and starts the show at 2 a.m. setting up tables etc for the rest of us. Thanks Grant, your efforts don't go un-noticed ( Im still going to make fun of you however!!!)

http://www.ssnakess.com/photopost/data/517/203feellucky-1-med.jpg

Here is another pic of grant.....i was going to put a caption on it..but i have decided not to...instead i would like to name this piece....I will call it...early morning sun...creates partial solar eclipse!!! :D (if you dont get that yet...you will later) :D

As usual, there was an amazing selection of animals on display...here are just some...First off a large peach throat monitor...i believe :) All i know is that his guy was one angry dude..hissing and whipping the glass with his tail....errr maybe that was just me bugging him :D

good job Shane.. We all do appreciate your hard work with the pics.. I've had a few people ask what was up with the hockey stick, It was signed by Frank Mohavolich and Darryl Sittler. Tony Lamanna was nice enough to give it to me at the show 'cause he knows how much of a fan i am of the Leafs both old and new!! Thanks Tony, i owe you one!!!

Excellent work as usual Shane. My favorite pics are "You wanna buy a watch" "One Month Anniversary" and "Usual Suspects". I again wish I could have been there but such is life and living too far away. I still hope to catch you all in Daytona...I will probably do my own picture show for that one. Did you get uglier Shane or is it just me? It must be the hair transplants. ;)

Great work on this thread Shane and the show looked really good.

P.S. You might want to up the shutter speed on that camera...or sobber up and stand still while you take the pics...;)

Great photos - thanks so much for taking the time to bring the show to those of us too far away to be there - great to see everyone who showed up and glad to hear the booth and site were well supported.

Thank you, thank you...the pics for the site are one of my most favored things to do. I enjoy, and look forward to going to the shows...and love meeting ppl.

Now that Jeff and i have figured out what the problem was with the site and the pic up-loading..next time i should be able to do it in half the time..maybe 8hours :rolleyes: Its worth it though, the fact that everyone out there can take a joke and laugh at themselves is great! And this show i was actually worried...by the near end of the day i thought that i had zero good pictures of members to work with. But when i got home and opened them up...i noticed i was wrong.

So thanks again for the kind words...and don't wish too hard that you were at the show...who knows..you might be my next victum as we hopefully do a country(s) wide trip taking members photos and doing the meet and greet with you all...nothing more would make us more happy......cheers...to the future of the site!
