WOW...what a gathering!

[hansmatt]

Thank you everyone who attended the December LARK meeting. We had what is probably a record number of reefers here, 34-36 I believe, with a ton of faces that were new to me. I understand parking was to the end of the street...sorry the valets couldn't keep up. Thank you everyone who drove great distances, uphill both ways in snow, to be here. I hope that everyone got some new critters, learned a little, and had some fun too. My only regret is that people didn't realize there was whole cooler of beer outside waiting to be used. I don't know what I'm going to do with two cases of suds
I hope we are able to continue the success of this group...there are lots of neat and interesting people amongst us, I wish I could have talked more with all of you. Perhaps we could entertain the idea of having a topic of discussion...like lighting, skimming, fragging etc for future meetings, though I don't want something formal to get in the way of socializing.
Thank you again everyone for attending, and happy holidays!
Matt

oh, and I hope everyone continues the great questions online...there are a ton of people willing to try and help!

Sounds like everyone had a great time. Too bad I couldn't make it to see all the new faces.

Let me know when you need some help with getting rid of the extra beverages Matt. I'll be there.

BTW - I previous total for a meeting was 30-32 people, depending on who you count, so it sounds like LARK had a new record turnout.

And Brian, you know I would have sold it to him and had another here on Tuesday but I knew D.J would have told everybody where he got it. THEN I supose I would have been in trouble.
