Bumpity Bump. Mark

[gonesnakee]

I'm sure Greg's phone isn't ringing off the hook yet folks so we'll Bump again, Mark
P.S. hey mods how about floating this one at the top with the Red Deer & PCP show stuff? THX

[meow_mix450]

Does the Toronto reptile expo need volenteers???

[Greg West]

I don't know but you may want to post on a thread involving the TO show instead of the TARAS show. I don't think the PCPC show people will be looking in this thread.

Greg West

[gonesnakee]

Still looking I'm sure, never TOO much help, Mark

[Invictus]

Ok folks... listen up....

I'm going to be ARRIVING at 5:00 AM to do setup. I want to make it clear that 5:00 is Bedtime, not up time. If I can make the sacrifice, so can you! Come on Albertans, show TARAS the love! lol

[Invictus]

Oh, and yes, that 5:00 AM thing also serves as a warning for anyone who tries to get coherent conversation out of me and only gets grunts and other caveman-like noises. :D

[Katt]

If someone pays the gas, I'll volunteer to help set up!!

Setting up is fun!!

[Leviathan]

If I make it out I can help. Not sure yet, but I'll let you know greg if I am. :)

Jeez, so many people in Calgary, yet BC and Sask people are volunteering. Come on Calgary - pretend its a flames game!

Am I allowed to say the word "flame" on here?

Okay, Greg. Your excited about the show...i can see that lol...but you have about 10 different threads going in the Gd for this show with various info. I have merged it all to keep it tidy....and bumping is silly, please don't. Shane. :)

[Matt_K]

the thread is now at the top, no need to 'bump' it anymore.

[DNA Reptiles]

Hi Greg,
We booked tables a couple of weeks ago. Where is the Comfort Inn in relation to the venue? Can we have exact addresses of both, you know how lost us folks from the mountains of BC get!!

e.mail python_smith@telus.net

[Turtle_Crazy]

Comfort Inn is just up the hill from the Stampede Grounds, 5-10 minute cummute :D

[DNA Reptiles]

Thanks!

[Leviathan]

I got a great new way for advertising the show!!! I play a playstation 2 game called Socom 2. Well it's online and alot of the people are from Canada. I always ask where people are from in Canada and if they say Calgary (or around there) I tell them when and where! All about the awesome Taras show! It's great! I've had at least half a dozen people say they'd like to come in and in just three days! So for anyone who plays online games.... Spread the word!!!

Alecia
Ya I know, You know you're a herper when lol

[Greg West]

Thanks Alecia,

Glad you are able to pass on the word.
