I am looking to interview octopus enthusiasts for a radio segment in NYC. Do you have a pet octopus? Know anyone who has a pet octopus in or around NYC? I would be very interested in speaking with you.

Hello,

Welcome to TONMO. I think there are at least a few ceph keepers in the NYC area, and certainly plenty of enthusiasts (like me). Off to search the banks. In the meantime, perhaps someone will pipe up.

Cheers,

Clem

mmcmurray: WELCOME to TONMO from another new person.
it would be cool if those not in NYC could hear your segment.

in any event, good luck. atticus finch :)

How about Carol? after all, doesnt New Jersey exist solely to provide suburbs for NYC and Philly? :D

:lol:

Much the same could be said of Western Connecticut. Carol, this looks like a job for you.

TONMO member Manny is, I believe, a New Yorker, and his octo experienced a traumatic ride through his tank's sump. This was back in February of 2003. Click here (http://www.tonmo.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=298&highlight=) to view that thread. Manny, are you still with us?

Thanks for looking into this, Clem. I'm very happy to see radio taking an interest in cephs!

If that were only true, i would do my damnedest to make sure he got bit....

Have been in contact with and we maybe meeting in NYC next weekend, should Jess and I get up early enough to catch a train and brave it into the city!

So glad to see the word getting out about these magnificent creatures!!!

Carol
