    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Hey folks....If any of you are planning on going to the Tampa Show on March 9-10...why don't we ALL get together for dinner and PARTY TIME after the show on Saturday night! All in favor....post an OK!! ....Neil
 
i'll be down that way b/c it is spring break, but i doubt if i will be there around closing.  i will also need to head back because i am staying right in between orlando and daytona beach.  you have any ideas of what to do yet?  as the time approaches, if i think that this might be a possibility, i'll let ya know.
btw, neil, thanks for getting back to me so quickly concerning my inquiry into your guyanas.  i'm hoping something will turn up at the show!
later,
jonathan
 
Of course we will get together for dinner and maybe drinks On sat night Neil. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'> We are not sure how long we will stay but will definately for a little bit. The show wears us out <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wow.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':0'>
 
Don't worry, Rob...I realize you OLD FOLKS need your rest!! <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':D'> ....Neil
 
Neil,

Don't think there is any other way to answer your question but with a Heck Yeah!  We are looking forward to the show as well as meeting as many herp freaks as possible.  What better way of doing that but with food and drink.  Point us in the direction and we are there!

Looking forward to it all
Mike and Tammy Pinkston

My wife (Connie) and I will be there.

Let us know more details as you figure them out.

But man, don't pick some pizza joint for dinner.  <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt='???'>

After standing on my feet all day long wearing my vocal chords out, I need a decent meal.  Either seafood or steak and LOTS of it, please.
 
I will check into which NICE restaurants are in the area, and I'll let you folks know tonight! It seems, though, that the consensus is Surf and Turf??? Would you prefer Arthur Treacher's or Long John Silvers?? I hear Mickey D's has a NEW fish sandwich??? And just for you, Rob...it's ALL IMPORTED!!

Why do we only have half a dozen people??? Come on folks....this could be like the BEST (and MOST FUN) Herp-related gathering EVER!! And, it's a WRITE-OFF!! Let me see some more of you "sign up"!! ....Neil
 
May I recommend Charlie's Steakhouse? It is off Westshore about ten minutes away from the fairgrounds. If you want the best steak and lobster in the area then Charlies is the place to go.

You can get a surf and turf meal for two for $100 that includes a 50 oz Porterhouse and a 32 oz tail that is absolutely incredible!!! I don't know if I can make it but I figured I could save Neil the hastle of looking for the best place in town, because Charlies IS the best place in town!!!

Just food for thought.... See you at the show

Take Care

Jason....I had the same thought! Charlie's Steakhouse is located at 4444 West Cypress St., Tampa, FL....their phone number is 1-813-353-9706....I will call them later today to see about reservations for 200 or so!

Neil,

there was a nice steak house not far from the show that Kim and I ate at last show.  It was across the street from mons-venus.  I don't remember the name of it though.  Their prices were pretty reasonable as well. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':)'>
 
Neil,

Imported isn't good unless it is something I imported heheh hahaha.  And I ain't importing no fishies unless more people want to buy them hahaha. GOTTA MAKE DA BUCK!!
 
Hey Alan,
 We would love to stop and pick you up but I think that hi-jacking a plane is fairly dangerous these days.   LOL  Sell some of those cages and get a cheap ticket.  
 We think surf and turf sounds great.  We have seafood about every other meal.  LOL  See you all in a few weeks!

Mike & Tammy

OK...Here's the story....I called Charlie's Steakhouse and they told me that for 30+ people, we would HAVE TO rent out the Banquet Hall for $25 for the hall itself, and then we would have TWO menu options to choose from....there's $69 per person and $99 per person (NOT including alcohol&#33<img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>...With so many of us probably going to be there, ANY PLACE will want reservations....so, it's up to you folks....YES or NO??? Should I go ahead and reserve the Banquet Room? OR NOT??? ....Neil
PS....I just heard from Tony (promoter of the Tampa show) who will ALSO be joining us!!
 
I think going out is a great idea but I would like to suggest the Outback Steak House on Hwy 60 it is only 5 min. from the show.At the Sept. show 22 went there (spur of the moment) it only took 25 min. to be seated to food and service was great. <img src="http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>
