A Few Winter Webfest Pics.....

Well just wanted to tell you all that we had a blast at the meeting! It was great to meet new people that share a passion for these animals. I apologize if I didn't get your picture taken !









...and Me, Tiffany and little Gabe.

Great pics Tim! It was good to meet you and your family. Here's the only pic I took today when I suddenly remembered I even had a camera! LOL It was a busy day and fun, fun, fun!
EdgarOrtega

Those are great shots, guys!   It was
nice meeting you, Tim.  

I had lots of fun, and I think it was a great meeting.
Glad to see the place filled with happy, friendly, people.

That Bad News:  My video camera is on the fritz,
and it didn't record properly, so all the footage
is worthless.  :-x  GRRRRRRRR Total bummer, dudes.
I'm so sorry. I was wanting to make a nice video of
the meeting for all of you. Oh, well, I had fun, though.

The GOOD news is that our Archivist, BayLee did an
awesome job and took lots of pics throughout the day,
as usual; can't wait to see them!

The other good news is that I did manage to take a
photograph, today, and it happens to be a very cute
one of Rachel doing her Pepsi promotion.  




I had fun, guys, and I was happy to see so many of
our new members make it! I enjoyed chatting with
everyone. Super fun.   It really was a great
meeting, and I enjoyed seeing everyone enjoying
themselves. What a great bunch of people! It was
awesome getting to finally meet some of you guys.

John, Laurie, Fred, Rachel, Ken and Lony had great tables. Fred,
your gum ball machine terrarium was super cool. hehe
Mike's breeding demo with John's big female was great.
Mike is awesome. John and Laurie, thanks for
the great lasagna!  They were yummers!
Fred and Miguel, it was nice getting to meet you,
in person. Rachel, you have some great set-ups, very neat.
You're always pleasant to chat with.

Lony, your enthusiasm and love for the animals always makes you
a joy to be around.

Ricky, I'm so glad you brought some critters and your
photos to show. Your shots rock!   I know
you had fun, too. I was happy you and Ahmee made
it down.   Marlene, thanks for the ceremonial
robe! LOL I sure wasn't expecting that. lol It was funny.

Everything was great!  :thumright: Great way to kick
off the SFBATS year. You guys are all awesome.

Hey Tim,
It was great to meet you , Tiffany and Gabe . Here are a few shots I got of the Webfest:






Will post more as I get them resized.
darth skippy

this is the only pic i took....it's john's big beautiful girl a little before her performance

i got a little distracted and forgot i had a camera after that :cry:

after we left we went to the ebv and i got to hold an eastern indigo and a yellow tailed cribo, decided i want a false water cobra and almost got to hold a giant desert hairy scorp! (they said no )

all in all it was a really great day
darth skippy

edgar i'm VERY disappointed in you... i was looking forward to seeing my interview in the video
BayLee

Man what happen to it? That is too sad, but maybe next time.

I have a camcorder we could use if yours is not working, but mine is CD


I have worked on some pictures tonight, hopefully I will have them up tomorrow. Got to run have dinner and a movie.

It was great meeting all of our new members. It sure was great to see so many people.

John, was the breeding successful?

Soooooooooo sorry, guys.  :cry:

It was nice meeting you, Skippy! I had fun hearing about your fishing adventures.  
darth skippy

i'll survive *sigh*

you'll have that taken care of before the summer, yes? i would like some documentation if we go to the pinnacles or arroyo seco or big sur to find some critters :wink:
darth skippy

it was nice to meet EVERYONE. i always enjoy seeing if the real person and the person i made up in my head jive with each other :wink:

once again, if anyone DOES want to go fishing, don't hesitate to ask :-P  i'm sure we can work something out  
Bonedog

Edgar,
Next meeting we'll bring more video cameras so we miss nothing.
kaotik94

Right on everybody! You all Rock! Already looking forward to the next meeting! Thanks again, Tim  :-P

Arachnocat

I had a GREAT time today! It was wonderful to see everyone again and I got to meet a lot of new people. We're going to need a bigger place soon  :shock:
It was cool to see everyone's T's and awesome set-ups. My pics didn't turn out too good, but I like this one of Edgar bravely holding a yellow anaconda  

darth skippy

yeah, i wasn't so brave  i jerked like spastic mook when she took a little swipe at me
Ricky Ortiz84

Hey everyone I had a blast today! Glad everyone that made it did come, and thanks for everyones comments on my pics, cant wait till the next meeting and maybe I'll remember to take some pics myself brought my camera and everything. It was very nice meeting everyone.
Synn

Hey guys! I had a BLAST today, thanks so much! I'm so proud of myself for holding a T for the first time, what cool experience! Not nearly as scary as I had been fearing, hehe. My mom swears that as soon as I bring a spider into the house I'm out the door, but since I'm planning on moving out by the end of the semester... >3

PICTURES TO COME SOON! I gotta resize them all, ugg.
Synn

Ok here we go, pics I took.

This thing felt so cool! I wouldn't mind having one of these, didn't even think to ask if anyone had any for sale. Were these two for sale?


Here I am holding a T for the first time. MAN was I nervous, but it wasn't that bad at all. Go me.


This yellow anaconda was so cute! And I loved the photography as well, picked up a print of the green trea boa.


Random candid shot.


Darling little froggie.


By far the cutest thing at the show. I offered $5 but they wouldn't take it.


Picked up a couple cute Budwing Mantid's from Ken, hopefully next time he'll have some Asian Giants! I tried taking a pic of them but my camera really sucks...[/img]
BayLee

darth skippy

that was a great slideshow(even though i think i'm VERY unphotogenic and hate seeing pics of me ) i especially liked edgars... cape? robe? whatever it was
BayLee

Everyone looked fine.
I do think that Edgar looked like an angry priest....
EdgarOrtega

Cool photos, Lony.  I didn't realize the sweater
and camera bag made me look like James T. Kirk
on an away mission. I like the 200 photos I am in.  
darth skippy

you'll never convince me!

but, back to the subject at hand- i haven't had that much fun in a long time. there's no one down here that i know that has any interest. i get the disturbed looks and horrified questions.

it's just nice to be able to chat with some NORMAL people for once :wink:
BayLee

Yes, I can relate to that. I felt like that for about a year. I now tell people I hang out with the normal guys when I go to the meetings.
It sure is fun.

Don't push your luck, Edgar. I can easly delete all of yours and just leave the one with you in the robe and you eating.
UglyKid2

As usual, great pics, Lony! I always enjoy your slide shows. The 2 of Miguel and Al cracked me up!  
BayLee

Yeah, isn't Al something.

I wonder if he does that to Laurie too?

Oh no I didn't even know I was normal. Is there a cure, can I go to therapy? Help me I'm scared!! :shock:
northswan04

That was fun and it was great to see you all again.  Great pictures!  (I forgot I had my camera in my hand most of the time :)  )
DeeCasey

Thanks for all the wonderful pictures everyone.

You are all so *Beautiful*

i wasn't even wearing all black that day, and i was still elusive as a ninja.. i'm in like 3 pics and it's like the top of my head, or half my back or something hah.

oh well, i guess no one will know i hang out with all the normal people of the world. i had lots of fun the other day, glad to hear everyone else did too.
Keatonus

I missed the last two D=

I'll be at the next one even if it kills me. I miss the T group
a7051

BayLee

It is about time you show your face again. I thought you got eaten by a T...lol
