if yer familiar with the area, it's on bunting road at the CAW hall (or is that UAW, I can never recall) It's on november 11th and 12th (I think, not this coming weekend but the next) I definitely plan on attending, hoping there might be some stray Pings or Neps (and Jay has told me there's usually something for us CP types) Is anyone else interested, or maybe planning already to attend?? If anyone from out of town is looking to check it out, PM me (or heck, just post here) and maybe we can set something up, if there's enough interest I might make some snacks or something to have a pre or post-show chat OH and I don't know what admission will be, that's the onlydetail I have somehow not heard, but it'd HAVE to be less than 10 dollars a head. Either way, I will make some sort of report, and if there's anything specific that anyones looking for, you could let me know and I'll see if I can get the contact info of anyone who might furnish it

I'm sure that Sophia, Rachael and I can arrange to get down there. I'm all for meeting a bunch of CP'ers before and/or afterward as well. Carl, are you going to have the steaks ready >>> Rick <<<

its nothing big , but neat, good for killing an hour or two , as for cp there it's always a crap shoot ... I think i shot my self in the foot letting on my cp scores to every one , nothing will be left , but really its better to go in the afternoon when its quieter and all the orchid happy people have settled down and the buying rush is over ......

I don't think that's the one, Andre, this one's got lots of radio spots and stuff, and is supposedly a full-on "show" of some sort. Rick- uhhhh... I'm sure we could get something together, to be sure, knowing how many folks may come by will likely have an effect on what we can get set up, but I think that any sort of steaks I would cook up would not pass the "carnivore test" But yeah, whoever would like is more than welcome to come by (and anyone who IS coming by and wants any plants, I have a few extra sundews and stuff but nothing fancy, but am right out of any kind of potting mix, so bring a pot of your fave mix if you want anything from my collection) Anyways, it would be fun to have a real informal get-together, so here's hoping we can get a couple of us under one roof

Hi Everyone,
I find few people in this forum are also interested in orchids. There is a Canadian forum for orchids if you guys interested. orchidboard.com it is very nice.
Hope I am not spamming this aweson forum with this.
Cheers
Xavier

Take some snapshots back, I'm curious to see what you guys can find there! Usually at Montreal's Orchids show, you can find a no name mexican Pinguicula, but nothing else regarding CP...

I'll see what I can find, Steve- what kinda details were you looking for, exact times etc??
No sweat on the orchid forum mention, CB, since orchids arden't exactly "covered" here, it's no competition (tho I know maybe half of us grow them,too)

Okay, so from the sounds of it, we have Me (and my wife JediElf), Rick and his family, Steve and purpman and his gang set to attend on saturday. We can meet quickly at our house after OR before, tho after might make more sense, and like I mentioned before if anyone needs any plants from me (I have extra U.sandersonii, an extra D.madagascariensis or two and a bunch of D.collinsiae plus seed of tons of stuff) then PLEASE bring a pot with some mix in it as I am still fresh out and don't forsee grabbing anymore til next season This should be some fun, I think I'll bring my camera out to catch the gathering for posterity

mabudon et al.
Sorry gang, weekend is not gonna work out for the orchid show. We have a family engagement booked now for Saturday, and Sunday was already a writeoff. Hope ya'll find some CP there. There is usually some neps and pings floating around.

I think if we ever DO get more than 3 of us in the same place the space-time continuum will rupture, seing as how reality seems to want to prevent it so bad!! It's alright tho, I will represent us well at the thing, I'm gonna write down our URL on some cards just in case I run into anyone who might be interested in joining us here who we have missed so far, I imagine there'll be someone I can tempt Whoever can stil make it, looking forward to seeing ya! Carl
