If CBS would move it's meeting to a Pizza place, then I would have the opportunity to eat Pizza twice in one day. Anyone on the list head on up to Sacramento last weekend and have something to talk about? Jim >> As a matter of fact.... I had a real good time and even sold some Killifish to Cichlid folks. Dr. Paul Loiselle spoke on Cichlids and of course brought a slide show. Did you all know Red Jewel Cichlids will eat Malaysian Trumpet Snails. According to Paul they do, anybody have Red Jewel Cichlids for sale? I could use a couple. I had the chance to talk with Paul for a few minutes and there are some interesting new fish coming out of Madagascar. Naturally my first question was "Can we get some". and his reply was that probably we can. The folks in Sacramento made me feel right at home, the Convention ran about an hour and a half late just like West Coast Weekend ;-) I took drum bowls with Killies for display which, even if I do say so myself, looked great. They had a fantastic dry goods auction in the afternoon, all brand new donated goods. The evening Mega Auction had a huge number of fish and quite a few plants. After each speaker they ran a few auction items which helped break up the day and keep people interested. Jim you would have been proud of me, I sat off to the side and behaved myself. I came home with one pair of nice Gold Angels but that was the only livestock I bid on. It was a long day but a good day. All of the speakers were great, how can you go wrong with a line up like that, and I think for it being their first time putting on a convention it went extremely well. Sue Bunte |
