    I will obviously post more pics and comment more later. However, I thought this was funny. At the banquest, which solved the problem of "Do you want steak or chicken?", by giving you both, Marineland gave all attendees a free LED lightbar. I was one of the first people back because I had a vehicle instead of walking or waiting for the shuttle. This is what I found. People who beat me back were all testing out their LED's. If I wait a half hour and go back, I wonder how many windows will be blue then.

    BWAHAHAHAHA CURT! That is too funny! I haven't even plugged mine in yet.

    I'm hoping my light bar is the same voltage as the controller for the R2 Solutions moon lights.

    I was a little disgusted by Marc's primary plug of MACNA2012 being alcohol. :cry:

    I know he was trying to be funny but it was a mistake IMO. I ate dinner with the Teacher and those two young lady students from Cleveland, OH and I could see the displeasure on the teacher's face. He was their chaperone and I could tell he wasn't sure what to do. I looked at them and said, "You didn't hear that" and then made a joke to change the mood.

    The program at their school is pretty freakin' awesome. (I have the teacher's phone number and I'm going to interview them for 3Reef). They have roughly 1200 gallons of saltwater and the kids have to learn biology, chemistry, micro-biology, etc. Someone in the Caribbean collects fecal droppings from fish and they are analyzing them. We were all talking about the fish and comb jellies on the video. I looked at Schackmel and said, "What the heck is is that gray fish with the black tail with 4 white dots?" Mel said that she didn't know. All of the sudden, this little 15 year old girl said, "That's a juvenile parrotfish". HOLY CRAP!!!
