So, who's all in for the meeting?

Bruce Condello - Would you mind bringing Big Head Sally, Cor, Ona, and Furhead with you in your luggage? They really love how fish grow larger and more numerous during happy hour.

I'll be driving the 6.5 miles.
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

I'll be there. I've got emails into Dave1 and Bob also asking about door prizes. I plan to donate a couple but mine would need to be shipped a couple of weeks before the meeting as I will be flying to Texas the week before and can't haul them around. Mine aren't Pond related so don't know if they are acceptable.

Bing, cases of fine German beer are always, always acceptable.
Some would even say that 50 year old bottles of fine single malt scotch are also acceptable.

However, any quantities of Diet Mountain Dew are frowned upon.

You'd never know it to see me. As you know, I really don't like to brag. I wonder how I ever let it slip out that I could bench press 665 lbs.

The Wyndham is across the street from the Convention Center.
