I went for a meeting that featured Mike Paletta. It was very cool. 
I also like the meeting place.

Hey everyone, looking forward to seeing you at the Steinhart on the 11th.
Sorry I will miss the tank tour this time around, but hope to see all your tanks at some point soon! Apon, sorry I haven't responded until now, I only received notification of your most recent PM for some reason.
I'm also trying to set up a hand feeding of the 150lb giant sea bass and moray eels : ) Can't promise anything, but I'll try. We'll have to split the group up if my buddy is available to feed them.
As Apon suggested, let's meet in the lobby at the Academy at 4:00. You don't have to enter the aquarium prior to that and pay the $7, but it might be nice to see the actual tanks so you know what the 15 foot skimmers are working on! There are also some pretty cool tanks and exhibits. The Penguins are fed daily at 3:30.
Thanks to Apon for organizing this!
Best, Peter

I'll try to remember to take some pictures, maybe have a few people taking pictures whether for official or recreational purposes then dave can pick some choice ones
Also nice about meeting in the lobby for one, don't need to pay $7, I've seen their tanks enough (I lub the first wednesday of the month..... until I had my schedule changed to work all day *pout*) and most of all parking around there isn't the easiest of things to do unless you're willing to fork over parking garage money at the metreon parking.

I'll be more than happy to write about our adventures. I'll type something up and all of you can add photos.
A little preview of the tour on Saturday:
Tune in to Channel 7 (ABC) tonight at 6 pm to watch a great story about our plans to grow corals for the new coral reef tank in Golden Gate Park. The story should include footage of Bart packing up corals in Hawaii, Seth and Laurie unpacking the corals here at Howard Street, and Chris talking about the new coral reef tank out at the park. The best news: this story is slated to air not just in San Francisco, but across the country. For those of you who miss it tonight, the story may be available on ABC’s web site tomorrow (http://abclocal.go.com/kgo/).
