Ok, it's official, the family and I are going to the Baltimore Aquarium June 26-June 27th. We'll definitely be there, and hope to see many other TONMO'ers there as well!

So far, it sounds like Carol and WhiteKiboko are quite probable if not definite.

I suppose festivities may depend on the turnout, but so far I figure we can spend Sat. afternoon at the aquarium, maybe go back to our rooms real quick and then meet up for dinner and a few drinks or something.

This ain't no official TONMO Convention, Melissa's got that one in control, and is coordinating that with Dr. O'Shea and some aquariums. That one should be an international event, and probably won't be happening until sometime later... as Greg says, you'll be there, or you'll be square.

For this one, if you're within striking distance of Baltimore, you really oughtta come, cause we'll definitely be looking forward to seeing you. If you're from far away, you might want to think about coming anyway... The party is what we make of it!

sigh.......I guess I'm gonna be square then :roll: ...........still I've been a science nerd for years so a little squareness shouldn't be much of a problem :?

Well, I do think there should eventually be a TONMOcon down under... :|

Melissa's in charge of the first "official" TONMOcon event (and the rest thereafter if she's game for it...)

If you can't make it to Baltimore for this TONMO gathering, no worries, I'm sure there will be pictures aplenty... hopefully sans mugshots...

Melissa

Drat, I'll be on the wrong tectonic plate for this gathering! Down under would be more feasible in June. We may have to set one up for ourselves, Jean.

Post the photos so everyone will be excited for the next party!

:shock:

I've been away too long; WK just brought this to my attention!

I have to check the calendar (lectures, doumentary airing dates), but a holiday is most definitely in order, and I couldn't think of a better way to spend it, and reason to meet (even a few) of you! It's summer then isn't it?

Put me down as a very serious possibilty. Had a dream (I think I was awake when I had it) that I met you, Tony, as a pseudonym. Best meet the man himself I think!

I'm really sorry to miss this. Friends and I had a great time there in December, and ate someplace good nearby. When I remember the name of the place, I'll pass it along.

:| Bummer, sir! Let us know... it takes more than 2 for it to be a "mini-TONMOcon", says I... otherwise, it's kinda "the Morelli's and the Sauer's meeting up at the Baltimore Aquarium". :mrgreen:

as far i remember, no cuttles, but i dunno what the travelling exhibit is....the shark room is pretty cool though.... most unfortunate, but i am a scratch.... bills piled up for me at the end of june ( the only creatures that couldve stopped me!)

i'd recommend catching an O's game.... theyre home from the 22nd thru 27th (yankees/braves).... plus it be a chance for you folks from the philly area to actually see a team that has won the world series..... :twisted:

Hopefully, i will assault the Balt/Philly region before late Fall.... so anyone in the area give a yelll and i'll try to keep you abreast of things....
