I was wondering if you thought of making up and selling bumper stickers. They would raise a few dollars for your show and help spread the word around about this site and your show. Keep up the good work.

For a show idea's, how about a show with peoples funny stories reguarding there reef tanks and being in the hobby. Below are a few funny stories I found on the net.

A hermit whose spotted the "perfect" new home. It was nice and spacious. It was too spacious. There were drag marks in the sand away from the old shell for about 6 inches and then drag marks back to it's old shell. I bet it was exhausted because it traded back to the original shell.

I also had a lawnmower blenny named snapper that would pick up small snails and hermits and transport them unwillingly across the tank. Sometimes he would just grab the shell, make a quick movement and send them flying.

my yellow watchmans golby spitting sand at me (when i had sand)
and the coolest thing i ever saw is one night my cbs went postal killing 3 peperment, 1 pistol shrimp, and 1 cleaner shrimp in a span of 15 minutes..

i saw a wet cat trying to climb out of my old 125...that was so funny, the pathetic look on her face,,, please help me!!

she used to like to walk the edge and look down on her playmate the yellow tang....well,,,well she never got on top again!!

I had a 75 gallon freshwater tank w/ 3 oscars 12+ inches long, and my pride and joy, a 15 inch silover arrowana. My brothers cat liked to perch on tank and look down into it, bat at the water, etc...one night I heard a startled yowl, splashing, and the cat raced out of my room. I poked my head in to see what had happened, and the arrowana was spitting out cat fur.....evidently he thought the cats paw was something edible. The cat never perched on top of my tanks again.

the bumper stickers (and shirts, hoodies, etc) are all done..
i had the info posted on the old site, but haven't integrated it into the new site.

i am also toying with the idea of having the logo design changed for the them and stuff.

in the meantime, feel free to check out the store (http://www.cafepress.com/talkingreef).

Kassun, very funny cat stories.....I got such a kick out of reading those.


Rob, Thanks for posting that link for the store. Like the bumper sticker...might have to grab one of those (but wouldn't be able to put it on the car until it gets "warm" again)...and maybe a golf shirt for work. :-)
