Ok guys!!
This is it! I'm very excited and so far everything is rolling right along. Here's what my kitchen table looks like as of ths morning...'

...and my mailman hasn't even stopped by yet today, I know a lot of people are sending via Fed Ex today and tomorrow as well so I'll update the pic with the final amount of boxes.

Anyway, wish us luck!! We need it :S This will be my offical show thread and I'll post all of my pics here. I promise to take way more than I did last time (*cough yeevia,I saw your post on betterbettas* :p I get the hint!)

Gleeeeee!!!!! :hyper:

Oh by the way, I sat and went through the boxes last night. Oh baby :drool: Everybody has obviously saved their best for this show since it's the last one before convention. I notice quite a few of the bettas aren't even for sale, the breeders must plan on bringing them back home, getting them settled then sending them off to convention next month. There's still tons of auction fish though and a lot of "auction only". Who plans on coming? :hey:

I also hear that a bunch of fish are coming in from Asia AND that they're going in the regular classes instead of commercial which should be really,really interesting. To clarify, most breeders from overseas show in commercial which means they're not hobbiest, but they turn enough profit to make a living. But over all there ARE hobbyist over there,they've just never shown in the US. This will be a first and should be quite interesting B) I expect many to show in Novice with me B) Fun,fun!!
 
Was there still plans to have the auction also going via the web for out-of-towners?
 
I don't think we're going to be able to manage that the way we intended, unfortunately. It would just be too complex, especially without precise details on each species and not seeing them in person yet. As of this point in time it will just be an on site auction, and the SMP will be there to take whichever wilds they're most interested in. I can still try to get something for you....?
 
Y'know, if Texas werent so far from Wisconsin, I'd be there in a heart beat :( I wish Wisconsin would have one of these!
 
Good luck and have fun!!!!!

BTW- I absolutely love reading your song lyrics... you have great taste in music!!!

Looks like I'll have my work cut out for me starting tonight. I know there are several more scheduled to arrive today, must be coming via different means than USPS.

Soon enough. They just got their very first club. Shows will soon follow, most certainly.
