last call for teams who want to pre-register. The pre-registration deadline is this Friday.

Teams and individuals can still register at full price on the day of the event - Oct 4th. Gonna be a great year. Hope to see you there!

Hey Ann -
No, Leslie is doing the invitro thing next Tuesday so she's staying put at home. We've got three people - how about you guys? Maybe a merger would work out.
Take care, Mark

Hey Mark-
Blessings and prayers for the "invitro thing next Tuesday"... (so eloquent, you are!
The Foos are on a ScubaSteve's team again, this year. So I guess if we don't run in to you at registration or weigh-in, we'll catch up at the BBQ! Yall look for us... we'll be the ones accepting the Super Scooper T-shirts, I'm sure...

Leslie is doing the invitro thing next Tuesday

We're keeping our fingers crossed and sending good vibes to y'all.

My wife and I just got done with a successful round of Invitro.
We're at week 8 weeks, with twins.

If you have any questions or need any info, please feel free to pm me. It's a crazy crazy process and can be confusing with all the little details.

Thanks for the best wishes & congrats Jason. We did this back in April and it was pretty much a month-long farce (false positives). So at least this time we're in a more relaxed state of mind, just see what happens.

Foo, I could think of some more colorful ways of putting the matter, but I've already hijacked the thread enough. If you guys have any spares, we'll take 'em on the Tejano Scuba team. I'm looking forward to seeing you guys & Ann's group next weekend.

Hey Foo, be sure to stop by and say hi on the 4th. (I'll be the one running around like my head's cut off ).

Looking forward to seeing everyone in NB! We're on track to have a fantastic TrashFest. :cool2:

[scubashawn123]

Our team is finally complete , Ill be registering us as a whole on the first of September so we save money, either catch me at the Feast and give me your share or bring it the day of. Either way I think we have a kick butt chance of coming home with some good stuff.

And officially our team is as follows

LMWB - Silt Sifter
Kvalve - Watergod
Nathan - LMs lessor half
Matt - "Frank"
Melissa - I dont have a nickname for
Nadmat- Other Matt
Scubashawn - Solo
Ms Klantz - hmmm need a nickname for you to

So what should we name ourselves as a whole? That way when the losers complain about how awesome we are they can just name the entity...

It's getting close to game day. I have never been to this place or event before.
I need to know what the dive plan is Saturday. Where to meet? (specifics) What time to meet? What I need to bring? Full names and phone numbers of the team members? Team leader organizing our team? Any other pertinent information.

I am anticipating a big crowd and could get lost.

Thanks for the information.

I second the need for more information.

I will be leaving here Friday evening so I can get there anytime Sat morning. Where, what time to meet and all of that small information.

Also what kind of money will I need to bring? Will parking be a problem? How far will I need to carry my gear? I could go on.
