I will be available both days pretty much. I think Warren has enough people for Saturday at Duck Days. I took both days off so I will be available all day(s).

Its about time you show up for an event!!!
Sorry, the last BBQ was on my birthday and my family took me out. I'm gonna be at the fair all day, both days to make up for it, hehehehe
Anyone up for some sightseeing after the fair around LA???
No sightseeing for me -- I have doggies at home that will need to get outside and pee. _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
I might be up for some sight-seeing afterwards. _________________ Here...time does not exist,

and generations of spiders.
YES to all. Bring bugs (especially ones that kids can hold, but some for just display is cool, too). Bring food for yourself at least, and to share if you can. (The museum gave all volunteers little snack bags and bottles of water last year, but who knows whether they can afford to do that again this year). And anything else you think might be cool. For example, I am bringing (besides bugs, water, and snacks) lots of books about bugs, and toy bugs of various types to decorate the table. I'll also bring heating pads and extension cords, because it was REALLY COLD in there last year. We'll also have poster boards, so if you have any cool pictures you'd like to display, we might be have room for them, too. I don't think anyone has mentioned care sheets: EVERYONE: BRING STACKS OF CARE SHEETS FOR COMMON INVERTS LIKE NEW WORLD TARANTULAS, CENTIPEDES, ROACHES, MANTISES, ETC.
Do you by any chance have care sheets or info sheets about common native bugs? We could put together a display on native bugs. I could get another poster board, but I can't print anything out today (I'm at home, and my printer is about out of ink).

P.S. To people who are bringing live bugs: please make sure their enclosures are clean and look nice! :-) _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
heh, i can hold all my bugs, but i have no bugs other ppl can hold (unknown venom, too little, too fast, etc)
also.... we can do a cheap trick and bring a snake. it will attract even more ppl. something that i can wear as a hat would be excellent. nonvenomous a plus _________________

There may be people who like centipedes. I have seen people handling tarantulas and scorpions, but never a centipede handler. I would regard such a person with deep suspicion...Now what sort of man or woman or monster would stroke a centipede on its underbelly "And here is my big good centipede." If such a man exists, I say kill him without more ado. He is a traitor to the human race.
I'll bring some local species. A. reversum, S. heros, a couple velvet ants, H. arizonensis, S. donensis, that big wolf I caught, C. longitarsus, and my P. rufilata colony just cause I think people will think its cool. Is that too much stuff to bring? _________________ Kyle Dickerson

Nope -- if we have too much stuff to fit on the tables, we'll just keep some behind the tables and rotate stuff in throughout the day. _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
If Francisco has you on his list, contact him for instructions.
If you're just coming in as a member (or paying admission), just bring it in and say you're taking it to the scabies table. (The challenge will be getting it back *out*).
P.S. I'm bringing oodles of hand sanitizer and paper towels. _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
woohoo, i think one of my old friends from when i was a kid is going to meet me at the bugfair _________________

I will be there on Sunday but will only be able to stay until 3:00 PM
I would have loved to stay the whole day, and to participate both days, but then again, there is always next year
See you all there
btw, Francisco I will be there Sunday morning around 7-7:30 AM. _________________ God does not play at dice AE

Sorry, no care sheets on hand but, I will bring the usual "show essentials"
I'll bring the Hissers for Alex he has so patiently waited for and some local stuff for the kids to look at.
Also, exuvia (any that you don't mind getting destroyed by all the handling) are cool as well.
Caco: I know what to do about the badges -- don't worry. _________________ "Tarantulas are friends, not food" (but I bet they taste pretty good with butter and lemon!)
My favorite part was the two little girls (about 11 years old) who both chorused "Eewwww!" in unison when they saw the bugs, but within 10 minutes were holding the Tiger Hisser and Giant Millipede! ;-)
P.S. some of the most popular bugs I brought were the sow bugs / pill bugs I tossed into a deli cup on Friday -- even some of the littler kids who were intimidated by the bigger bugs were delighted to hold the pill bugs. I think it's especially cool for kids to start by developing compassion for the everyday bugs they might find around their own yards or schools.
