Sneaking in the swap.

[probe dms]

Yeah, It's my fault I didn't have the extra cash at the time I found out about the swap. But even by then it was too late. All I want is some blue zoos. Do I have to sneak in like last year? I WANT SOME BLUE ZOOS!!!

 

[ryangrieder]

If you have money for "blue zoas" then you should have had money for the swap. You had almost 2 months to get a ticket. That's not right if you try to "sneak in"

man i just got back on MR like 2 weeks ago. Had no clue. So now I can't enjoy the beautiful ocean in my room? Well see.

 

[probe dms]

actually last year i didnt sneak in. i just walked in. besides i dont think the public should have to pay for the swap. i think the vendors should be the only ones paying.

 

[knugenx]

Have someone buy it for you, or wait for vendor's/member's Post-Swap sale. No need to what you plan to do.

 

[probe dms]

yeah. its just a post. i may not even leave my crib today. im just saying i want some BLUE ZOOS!!

 

[probe dms]

and.... its messed up that I can't go cause its sold out. sold out? all that space and its sold out? how'd Nell Carter say it? "Gimme a Break."

Waaaaaaaaaa thread ?

 

[midtownman]

[probe dms]

well then waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

 

[noelskii]

:sigh: why would you even make a thread in the SWAP forum about sneaking in to the SWAP?

You're right. The mods should pay for your lunch, bring speakers in to talk and educate people, rent the venue. Yeah, and when they finish breaking their backs getting everything ready, maybe they should buy you some corals too.

Why should YOU have to pay for anything. You're waaaaayyyyy too special for that.

Seriously... They all work hard on this and it's not cheap. If you're too cheap to pay, or missed the deadline, it's your own fault. (Oh and by the way, there was a thread for people looking for last minute tickets, so you STILL could have gotten in if you'd opened your eyes.)

Disgusting. You're the type of person that ruins this hobby.

 

[jerl77]

i hear they have armed guard now

 

[beerfish]

just say your a pratt student and come in from the kitchen side like some people did last year, no harm no foul!!

Wow... No respect for the board, the hobby, or the people that run the swap.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

no plenty of respect just no a$$ kissing!! and calling it like i have seen it!!!

 

[Weicowireman]

I'm sorry, I paid $25.00 for a ticket last minute and bought $60-$80 worth of coral and food. I think if you can buy blue zoos you should do your part and contribute like the other manhattan reefers. Besides its $25.00, then if you should continue to try to sneak in I hope they ban you from there sites for your imcompetance and ignorance once they read your dumb post......

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

perhaps the case lol but its not that serious folks, both outside looking in and inside looking out!!, the show is almost over at the swap so sit down and wait for the raffles

 

[beerfish]

no plenty of respect just no a$$ kissing!! and calling it like i have seen it!!!

Actually, I just don't de-value all of the hard work and money that is put into the event by saying that it's ok to sneak in. If an event is ticketed and you sneak in, it's THEFT.

So if you think I'm kissing a$$ by not stealing from members of my community, then maybe you need to rethink your ethics.

 

[saltwaterinbrooklyn]

an ethic battle is beyond pointless, im stating what happened last year, nobody is stealing a single thing, or asking for anything for free, and nobody is calling you an ass kisser !!! i should refraze my statement and say that i am not into sugar coating or covering up the truth that i have seen!!

 

[midtownman]

that $25 goes a long way,u could buy one $3 ticket & with luck you could walk out with a $700 item plus the speakers there & food i say it's underpriced for the stuff you could get
