Eric - what Ecoweb stuff do you want? I'll bring it as a preorder for you.

 

[NYEric]

Thanks. I'll check your site and PM you.

 

[Ray]

I just emailed Henduan Mountain Biotech to see if Dr Pernar is planning on bringing plants or flasks, or taking preorders.

I'll let you know if I hear anything.

 

[Ray]

I heard back last night. Here's the lists for preorders:

Flasks

and

Plants

Hangianums will not be available for DC (he can also ship from there next month), but he'll have them available to ship from Santa Barbara in March.

 

[jtrmd]

still debating

 

[NYEric]

This is close for you.

 

[jtrmd]

yeah,I think its only like 45mins at most.

 

[NYEric]

Sheesh!

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

So who is going from the New York area? Eric, are you registered and really going? After looking at what might be for sale, I might have someone pick up something for me if it doesn't involve shippping to far. It's been mild here in the Albany, N.Y. area but the weather can't hold forever. Was thinking of a flask if someone could verify the condition and size of seedling invetro. I've seen some hugh seedlling in flask from Japan, and I wonder if they replate that extra time in China.

 

[NYEric]

I am probably going I will confirm this weekend.

 

[Bob in Albany N.Y.]

Let me know for sure, as I'd like someone to pick up and mail something to me. I assume you are driving down, correct? Airplanes don't work to well with flasks.

 

[NYEric]

Airplanes!? its only DC for Pete's sake. Its not like the old days when you could hop on the shuttle for $34/each way. I'll drive or take a bus.

Hey Ray.....Flask list shows up, but Plant List draws a blank. What's up with that?

 

[eOrchids]

Both opened up for me just fine.

Although the plants list might open slower cause there are more pages.
