Rick

Dang. No love again. Brooklyn and Lyndhurst are also almost close.

Next weekend is That Fish Place's crazy tent sale of haggling insanity, face painting, and other stuff. I was thinking about going up to see the mayhem.

Just go ahead and buy your tickets to Singapore next year that is something to see.
It may be the largest aquarium show in the world.

Rick

Road trip! Oh wait a second..

Have you ever done the Singapore one?

Waa waa waaa, quit yer whinin' saint. Ya got at least a half a dozen within a thousand miles of ya. I think I may be closer than a thousand to the one in Missouri, that's it.

And I'd like to see ya get to Singapore via road trip...ship trip maybe?



WYite

Eh. The last two "shows" I went to were nothing more than a flea market for neglected animals, and shitty used gear.

If I'm gonna spend the time to drive to one, (2hrs+ for damn near every one on those lists) I'd want it to not suck.
