Right, I was already pumped, that was just the icing on the cake. Just told the wife the new special guests and she is dancing around this morning. We watch all of the shows, and love the family vibe they have. Very cool indeed!

BfishLpond78 · 10/17/2012, 05:33 AM

Well done...that should really help out not only the club but CMAC as a whole for years to come...shows the caliber people that we can have come out to the event.

Look forward to the event...mingling with my feel obsessionist...errr hobbyists...wooot wooooot!!!

Without hesitation I appreciate all the compliments ! There were a few of us working behind the scenes trying to piece this together (you know who you are - thank you too!)

Sandia97 · 10/17/2012, 06:17 PM

Wowzer that is SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!

SteelerMike · 10/17/2012, 07:24 PM

Very cool! Can't wait

slavver01 · 10/17/2012, 10:09 PM

That's a great show, will def liven things up with those 2!

Gobey · 10/18/2012, 08:32 AM

Good day fellow reefers!

(That never sounds right

)

It is with great pleasure that I inform you all that I was asked to do a live on-air interview this coming Tuesday, October 23rd at 4 PM with THE ROCK WCCC 106.9.

I'll be chatting us up with one of CCC's most talented personalities, Klonk, with hopes of eloquently explaining why fragging coral is so mentally stimulating (we all know I'll just end up trying to explain what fragging coral means). I'll also have the chance to explain that mysterious glow from my home and my excessive electric bill

.

But seriously, I'll have two 5 minute spots to let CT and the surrounding listening area know what CTARS is, what we do, why we do it and most importantly, I'll be able to shed light...I mean major light...on the details of our upcoming mega conference at Mohegan Sun on Sunday October 28th.

I'll be sure to announce our three GREAT guest speakers, highlight our signed up vendors and let America know that the stars of the Animal Planet television show Tanked, Wayde and Brett, will be spending quality time with us too!

This IS great publicity for CTARS and our conference.

On behalf of the Board of Directors I would like to thank all the members of CTARS for your patience over the past few weeks as we have slowly disclosed more and more details of this event. We promise to continue sharing the details as they unfold.

So...plan to come to CMAC. Heck, bring a friend. Why not bring three friends? But no more if you plan to share your Kit Kat bar

We have the speakers, we have the vendors, we have the special guests, we have the great venue - we just need YOU the attendees!

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD - LET'S ALL PITCH IN AND MAKE THIS THE BEST CMAC EVER!

Sincerely,

Your (soon to be 'Almost Famous') Treasurer and now male cheerleader,

Gobey

That's AWESOME Rich! Good luck on air. I wish I worked in CT so uncoiled hear the interview but unfortunately I'm stuck working in Worcester, MA. Oh well, best of luck with the promo. Hopefully it helps to makes for a great turnout.

BubbaBoBobBrain · 10/18/2012, 10:33 AM

I finally quit dilly dallying (WOW, just made myself sound old, lol) and bought my ticket. Now I'm officially going, lol. See everyone there.

Gobey · 10/18/2012, 01:24 PM

Check out the WCCC website - in the middle of the page on the left side is a 'Listen' button with an option to listen from your computer...I tried it and it works...

http://www.wccc.com/

Test it out now so you're prepped and ready for my 5+5 minutes of fame and glory.

BubbaBoBobBrain · 10/18/2012, 03:39 PM

I tried it through my phone and it won't work. Figures. I guess I will have to pretend the interview in my head. Gotta have some imagination somewhere in my thick skull, lol. Good luck with the interview

Reefir · 10/18/2012, 05:21 PM

I am there ! good show last time , I hope its even better this year , i see people really getting this ball rolling , hats off to all who participate . The last show at mohegan really showed quality and inspiration . keep up the good work !

Gobey · 10/19/2012, 02:55 PM

Well....I'm almost speechless....if you know me - that's nearly impossible

I can definitely say that this is a first for me - two on-air interviews in one day - all about CTARS, coral and fish tanks!

We just secured another live radio spot on Tuesday, October 23rd at 9:35 AM on AM 1360 with Brad Davis and Mary Jones!

I might be in shock...but being interviewed by "THE" Brad Davis is a big deal to me - I hope you all see how amazing this is too!

We might just have most of the radio listening demographics covered with the morning AM gig and the afternoon FM gig!

What can I say, I promise to to my best and let CT know who CTARS is and why we do this!

Now back to the conference at Mohegan Sun on Sunday October 28th...it's going to be great - even if I'm the only guy in the audience...it will be great, but it will be absolutely amazing if the rooms are packed to the gills (no fish pun intended).

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD - LET'S ALL PITCH IN AND MAKE THIS THE BEST CMAC EVER!

Sincerely,

Your (soon to be even 'Almost Famous-er') Treasurer,

Gobey

BubbaBoBobBrain · 10/19/2012, 03:07 PM

Wow again Rich, lol. The food news just keeps swimming in, lol. Hopefully I can at least hear the first interview.

ClemQuat · 10/19/2012, 08:57 PM

Our latest vendor, NY Coral King will be selling 'high end clowns' like platinum, picasso, black ice, etc

He has offered a discount to those who want to pre order. PM me for details.

Rwinfrey · 10/20/2012, 01:16 PM

Check out the site it been updated

Sandia97 · 10/20/2012, 10:16 PM

Wow finally things seem to be coming around and in a big way I will definitely be listening to the interview on WCCC and be telling my friends about it! Rich, you are the man!!!

Gobey · 10/20/2012, 10:33 PM

It's hard to believe that I'll be trying to explain our complex reef keeping hobby in just few minutes. I've been going over my notes all weekend and practicing in front of the mirror.

shayna123 · 10/22/2012, 07:26 AM

Can you buy tickets at the door? Didnt think I was going to be able to go and found out last night I can. Logged on about 11:00 and it was to late to order tickets.

seagull18 · 10/22/2012, 08:01 AM

You can buy tickets at the door but according to BfishLpond (5 minutes ago) on the "link to CMAC tickets" you can still purchase the tickets online for $20.

BfishLpond78 · 10/22/2012, 08:11 AM

Well I needed to order another ticket...and when I got the confirmation email it said it was $20.00...sooo I dunno...lol

BubbaBoBobBrain · 10/22/2012, 09:04 AM

Just read the preorder thread for tickets and it says they extended the $20 preorder ticket price until Wednesday.

trstange · 10/22/2012, 12:11 PM

Good work Rich!

BfishLpond78 · 10/22/2012, 06:30 PM
