WAMAS Members, it's 4:15 AM as I type this, and I'm less than 2 hours from hopping on a plane in Duluth, MN, to take two flights to get to the Washington DC region so I can, once again, come attend an exciting WAMAS meeting! If I can travel over 1000 miles and spend a day in airports to come see all of you, please do me the honor of driving a half hour (or hour and a half?) to come check out all that's going on at this meeting on Saturday! The club has posted all sorts of details here - http://wamas.org/forums/topic/83123-saturday-october-21-fall-2017-meeting-matt-pedersen-on-clownfish/ Now...I must warn you, Copps asked me to give my 3-part clownfish talk, which is normally a total of 90 minutes. But they're only giving me an hour to make it happen. So...I'm going to blaze through it...you will see more clownfish eye candy than you knew existed. Wild fish, emerging genes you've likely not seen, and hybrids up the yin yang!!!! (if you're into that sort of thing). And, you might even see your club leadership break out the hook and pull me off stage! I'll be blunt, Clownfish ARE the guppy of the marine aquarium hobby now. I mean, I've run out of appendages to count the number of elementary school "clownfish breeding" projects and programs being started around the country. Today's kids....it's clownfish, not guppies! Of course, how many of us were, at one time or another, ENTHRALLED with fancy guppies? Come on, you can admit it, this is a #safespace I'm looking forward to seeing you all this weekend! I may not always remember your name, but I *usually* remember a face. Now...I've lost about 70 lbs. since you all last saw me...I don't feel like I look any different, but a lot of folks do...so you might not recognize me! Low-Carb High-Fat diet for the win...literally fixed all my health issues! Out with the sugar, IN WITH THE BACON!!!! Thanks greatly to WAMAS for inviting me to come out! I'll do my darndest to overload you with clownfish but not bore you all to tears!!! And by the way, it's a delight to be packing shorts. Please refer to the attached photo I took earlier this evening. Matt P.
