Get Ready For The Sixth Annual Necps Show!!

Here are some pix I took. Wasn't easy! I think the shade cloth there is actually 60 percent?
I might be wrong. Clouds and rain don't help either.

I think these are mostly Black Jungles Helis.

Some of the Purps I brought.

Some of the fly traps I brought.
I hope somebody has a better picture of it than this. Someone also stuck a red dragon tag in the pot. Thats wrong, there are no red dragons in there. All typical VfT's.

Some of the cephs in my tank.
If anyone was wondering what the white specks were all over the cephs it was just perlite.
Tank was outside, lots of rain, cephs under 4 inches of water, perlite everywhere, not fun.

  • #88
He is behind it in the pic of me! Rattler, why don't you move?

prolly cause the wife and i are running two newspapers and trying to buy up a couple more.....not to mention the closer yah get to ppl the worse the hunting gets......actually other than missing the odd get together like this i dont mind it, have spent the better part of 27 years 100 miles from the closest Walmart......going to have to keep an eye on when the Colorado CP Society has a big meeting or such.....pretty easy to convince the wife to head down there.......someone should do one in Vegas.....i can get there pretty cheap :D

Man looks like an amazing show. Thanks for including us less fortunates. Does Roger Williams still do their fireworks display on the 4th? That used to be an amazing time as a youngin? How about the carrousel is it still there?

pics of me: I'm in Wildbill's second posting, 4th pic with Nepenthusiast and that giant sibu x truncie. Me on the right.
1st pic of Wildbill's third posting, watching the regia... Nepenthusiast on my left, right in the pic.
Next pic down, in the back.
Next pic, the terraforums group shot. Let's see if I can do this... left to right, top to bottom:
Presto, Schloaty, Dave S., Xvart, Ken (not sure about forum name), me, Nepenthusiast.
Bottom row: quogue, Damn it I have no idea, Jmatt and Wildbill.
Those dogs scared the crap out of me at first. I walked in with Nepenthusiast and they ran up barking at us and looking like they were going to eat me. Later they were nice though :) . Xvart, that little girl was Bella, a friend of Nepenthusiast's younger brother. Nepenthusiast converted her to carnivorousplantaholism. I'll keep working on getting her into NASC! I think I'll join, you convinced me.

Excellent photos, guys. JMatt, that mini-bog with the purps and flytraps is really nice!

dang, in that VFT pic, how does he get his VFT to be so... low? my VFT is like shooting up at the sky.
 
  • #98
Whew...first time I've made it to the forums in a few days. If it's not one thing it's another.

I got a kick picking back up on this thread. Y'all had me on the edge of my seat with anticipation even though I couldn't go. lol

All I can say is...WOW.

The NECPS (WildBill and all the others) make this a fantastic show every year. Y'all should be proud! Even though I couldn't go, thank you to all the folks who work to get this done each year. You know you get "CP convert" every year! I hope y'all sold a bunch of posters.

And thank you to Dave and JC who manned the NASC booth. Seven new members ain't bad! Woohoo!

I can't wait to see more photos. :D So cool to see our TF members. I believe I saw Dave squatting in one photo. hehe
--------------------

Ooops. Somehow I missed a ton of photos. I love the TF group shot. We DO need some TF T-shirts.

Wow great pictures! That group photo turned out really well. Sorry I couldn't make it for the dinner, next year when I have a car it will be different.:-O

Sorry I should re-size these, but I can't figure it out. Technology is weird.
