I keep it under 90 now because getting pulled over doing 107 wasn't easy to talk my way out of I will surely be there. Look for the guy with the thick new york accent walking around, I will be the guy who can talk normal that's with him.

East Coast is where it's at Nigel

 

[BettaDragon]

Three more weeks until, just wondering what everyone is hoping to see there. I'm hoping to see some Brazilian rainbow boas and Chinese cave geckos. What about all of you?

 

[Gregg M]

Lots of venomous...

 

[Retribution Reptiles]

You know that show is only about 5-6 hour drive away but right now i'm saving my money cause this east coast guy is taking the 5-6 hour flight to the west coast in sept. Maybe i'll talk the little lady to going to PA before the year is out. We did have it on our to do list for this year before Nigel mentioned i should come out there.

 

[DLS Reptile]

I'll most likely be there...

 

[lizardlove]

I'll be examining mack snows... I REALLY want one, but can't get one for a while yet. And ball pythons, even though my mom would AGGRO me if I got one. Sigh. Living with parents during college is almost a perfect arrangement... Almost.

I'm gonna be miserable when I go to Canada, I don't think I can afford the $700 plane ride to go to Hamburg all the time. Then again in Canada, I'm getting my own place and hence I can get a snake.

Now I have a rather complicated question, I'm not sure where else to put it as it pertains directly to this show.

I love to take pictures at the show. I'm always polite and ask the vendor before I take pictures of their animals. However it seems that when there happens to be some somewhat rowdy guys being the vendor, they happen to think me wanting to take a picture of their animals means I want to have a picture taken of me with them. This has happens a lot and with a lot of different guys. It once got to the point where I moved one of my rings onto my ring finger just so I could be left alone at least a bit. Part of the problem could be that I look and carry myself like someone older. Back when I didn't realize it could be taken as rude not to ask before taking pictures, I never had any of these problems. I don't really want to be a rude person but I also really don't feel like being hit on by guys over twice my age. I get pretty scared around much older men when they start directing their gaze to places other than my eyes while talking to me. I don't take pictures there as much anymore because of this. Do you guys have any advice on what to do? For this particular show my boyfriend is coming with me so I'll feel safer but he isn't always there with me.

 

[cuomop]

ill be there driving up from richmond VA

 

[BettaDragon]

Well the show's this weekend. You guys still want to meet up for a east coast Gecko Forums gathering?

 

[2bacop]

ill be there driving up from richmond VA

I'm seriously considering coming up from Staunton, Va. I will be in Md this weekend anyway though

 

[Lena]

I'm so excited, only 4 days to go!! This will be my second Hamburg show..

Is anyone wearing the name-tags or meeting up? Haha.

 

[GeckoStud]

I'm down with hooking up with you guys for and meeting everyone for a little bit if I can. We have a little bit busy of a day but it would be great to say hi. My friend is supposed to have lunch with his family and we're all going in the same car so I'm not sure on what's happening or at what time. But Em and I will be there so look forward to possibly meeting some of you guys if we can.

 

[nevinm]

hahaha, ill be there selling dragons like ive already said. we are always buisy so its really hard to pull my self away from the table but stop by any way just to say hi damt it!!

 

[lizardlove]

As much as I'd love to say hello to everyone, I'll be spending a lot of time staring at ball pythons and BRBs and going 'Ooh...' And looking for super snow hatchlings. Of course I'll meet up if that's what we're doing, but I won't recognize anyone.

o.o

 

[Lena]

I think we should have a geckoforums gathering.

What time, what area? Any ideas?

Ken and I will stop by to say hi, as always.

kinda off topic about what yins are all talkin about...but i was gonna give in and drive 4 1/2 hours to the show just to pick up some leachies/chewies. does anyone know of any other vendors that will/might have them as well as gargoyles? it might be pointless for me to spend 9 hours on Saturday driving- just to go and see one table in particular. if anyone knows if there is any other vendors carrying these three species, please let me know either on here or via pm.

 

[BettaDragon]

I'll be wearing my name tag! I'll show up late though. I leave work at 11:30 and I'm in south jersey so I'll be pretty late. Darcie will be as well since I'm her ride. I would love to get a group pic or something just for kicks.

pretty sure there was 3 ppl with leachies, 2 with chewies and quite a few with gargs. not 100% sure though. and i feel your pain with the long drive...i'll be leaving from blairsville.

 

[GeckoStud]

Leapin leachies, and another person definitely had a number of leachies and other rhacs. And there were several that had gargoyles and a leachie or chewie here or there.
