Hey Texas guys and gals, listen up…. Only 16 days left ‘til the conference and only 13 Texans committed??? We should have more than all the rest combined.. Last year I met more interesting folks and made new friends that I will never miss attending another one – this in addition to learning more about ponds and management than one can imagine I look forward to seeing all of you at the Conference. Y’all come…. As many of you already know via delivery of Pond Boss Magazine, Pennsylvania is the greatest state in the USA.
With the upcoming PB Conference less than (8) weeks away, now is as good a time as any to start our roster of attendees.
If you please, I would like to start tallying attendees by state (which should prove that PA is the greatest state; because the show is in Texas, they must forfeit the title of greatest state as they will most likely have the most attendees).
Let me start: PA - 1
As you add your State and # of attendees, I will start to keep an ongoing tally.

Come on people. Come meet the brilliant minds behind Pond Boss and the demented minds that post on these forums (you know who you are). Get some edumacation. Meet the vendors. Socialize.
If you are close enough to drive you should be there.
Don't make us hunt you down. Don't make Fatty McButterpants mad, you don't want that (speaking of which, have you noticed the latest photos of FMB, me thinks his name is deceiving, I think a more accurate name would be Trim McMargarine Trousers). Don't cause Theo to divert 28% of his brain power toward determining an effective punishment. Don't give Bruce and excuse (hey that rhymes!) to fish out your 5 acre pond in 27 minutes flat, that would be tragic.
This will be like Woodstock, you will regret not going for your entire life. It's that important.

I don't know what the season for "Washington Sturgon, salmon and tuna fishing" is, but the season for learning and enjoying Pond Boss friends in Arlington is only two days per year.
I think the only fishing trip I'd go on and miss the conference is if Ray Scott invited me to "Presidents Lake". Since he will be at the conference I don't think that will be an issue.
Well, maybe if Bill Dance called.

"Well, maybe if Bill Dance called."
Or that dude from Hunt for Big Fish, although I'm not sure I could hang with that guy.
