Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Pond Boss Conference & Expo

Ok, the Annual Pond Boss Conference and Expo is only about two months away.

Where's the hype? Where's the excitement? Am I the only one out here that's getting excited?

Roll call:

Chime in here. Indicate:

(1) Are you are going:
(2) If you are bringing someone other than yourself indicate who that person is:
(3) Arrival and departure days:
(4) Hotel you are staying at:
(5) Boxers or briefs:

If you are not going please indicate a valid reason for not going that can be confirmed by a neutral third person.

If you live within 100 miles of the conference and are not going please post a good arguement as to why we should not post horrible things about you on the internet.

Here I'll show you how:

(1) Are you are going: Of course I'm going, don't be ridiculous.
(2) If you are bringing someone other than yourself indicate who that person is: My wife (JWHAP), just in case I need bail money and/or a character witness.
(3) Arrival and departure days:There Wednesday, July 9th, Back, Monday, July 14.
(4) Hotel you are staying at:Sheraton Arlington Hotel
(5) Boxers or briefs: Commando baby - would you expect anything less of JHAP?

(1) Are you are going:
Yes, of course!

(2) If you are bringing someone other than yourself indicate who that person is:
My dad for sure. Or, maybe he's bringing me??
Hmmm...if I can get him to pay, then I suppose he can say he's bringing me??

(3) Arrival and departure days:

Unfortunately, I can't come until Friday evening. I plan on leaing Sunday.


(4) Hotel you are staying at:
The Wyndham or Sheraton or whatever it's now called (across from the expo center).


(5) Boxers or briefs:
Commando + kilt. Only way to feel the breeze in Texas in July.

I will definitely be there.

I'm bringing MJ.

I'm arriving on the 10th, and leaving on Sunday.

I'll be at the Sheraton.

Last year was mandatory commando/kilt, so I'd assume we're looking at the same thing this year.

I'm coming
Not sure where I'm staying
Coming early and staying late (JHAP, please have beer money ready}
Bringing my wonderful, lovely, beautiful, wife Bonnie
Boxers or briefs, I'm wearing both.
Are we supposed to bring some of our fish? Mine are a hoot after they've been drinking (or is that me) oh well either way.

1) Are you are going:

Yes, need you ask ?

(2) If you are bringing someone other than yourself indicate who that person is:

The boss = better half.

(3) Arrival and departure days:

Thur - Sunday

(4) Hotel you are staying at:

The Sheraton (across from the expo center).

(5) Boxers or briefs:

Pond Boss attire

I'm in too...hopefully bringing my Pop again this year, local to the area so I'm always close by. Sheraton. Briefs, like to keep everything secure. Although, a kilt may be easier. Just lifting a flap would come naturally...as I get older, more and more people can kiss my arse

1. Yes
2. No
3. Should be Thursday - Sunday
4. Should be the Sheraton
5. No. Not Commando, either. And I only wear kilts for Scotchtoberfest.

I'll be there. Bringing my wife, just to make the trip more enjoyable. Also have two gradaute students that will attend, and I believe one of our undergraduates will be there as well. Sheraton.

1. Yes
2. No
3. Thursday through Sunday
4. Sheraton/Wyndham...whatever
5. You are a total freak. OK, boxers.

1. Absolutely
2. Nobody at the moment
3. There- Thursday, Back- whenever I want to go back to work
4. Chateau la Grandparents (about a mile from the conference)

1. Yep
2. My Younger Bro
3. Thursday - Sunday
4. Sheraton
5. Boxer Briefs
6. Should we bring our aprons from last year or do we get new ones for a collection? I actually used my apron a few times while cooking fish for large groups last year.

Good start people!

Davasta: hmmmm, kilt, never thought of that. Dang I have so much to learn about Texas.

Bruce: MJ really gets around, I look forward to meeting him...........I think.

Heybud: I NEVER, EVER leave the house without beer money, unless of course I've already procured the beer.

Sunil: tee hee made you look.

N8ly: Aprons, we don't need no stinkin aprons. Do we need aprons? Is that in addition to or instead of a kilt. Jeez I'm such a convention novice.

Carry on people, carry on.

1.What a dumb question
2.Alone,my wife doesnt like to be seen in public with me,says Im embarassing
3.Fri-Sun
4.Sheraton
5.NONE.....Ha,made YOU look
6.Aprons will hide all the beer you spill.(And hide what your drinking at the convention,unless your gonna walk around thirsty all day!)

Yep, I'll be there for the whole works. Saying at home.

Probably be going for BBQ Friday nite with those that are interested. Lots were interested last year.

I'm interested if ya don't mind being seen with me. Worst comes to worse I guess I could wear a disguise.

No disguise will be necessary. You will, however, be required to sit in the "death wish" seat next to Howard the van driver. On the plus side, you will get to see the accident first.

I imagine the cars directly behind are baffled by the people sitting in the rear seat that keep throwing their arms above their heads and screaming.

Last year, that was me and Greg Grimes.

We did get calmed down enough to enjoy the great BBQ.

Dave I am in for B'BQ on Friday. Can we go back to the same place - please ?

1) Can't make it this year.
2) Don't have no friends.
3) Not applicable.
4) Secret last Resort.
5) Sometimes.

My third person confirmer is Dave Davidson1, though I am not aware of his neutrality level.

Yeah Eric. We will go there. I figure that if Howard the Haitian Taxi Driver has moved on, Sunil can influence another one by offering to sponsor him for his green card.

If you guys want to, we can hit El Asadero in downtown Cowtown Saturday night. It has the best authentic Mexican food in the area. Ask George, Fatty and Rocky. Guaranteed to get your hub caps stolen so you know it's authentic.

Dave, it's one thing to go to a PB convention with a fishing buddy, drink beer, chow down on mexican food, and laugh as you create your own "gas chamber", but you will be going home to your poor wife !!! I'm betting you get the couch that night

p.s. is your property in the Barnett Shale hotbed? Seems there's a lot of talk buzzing around.

Eastland - Dave's child bride is going with us. I bet no couch.

That my friend, is funny

Eastland, so far, my place isn't being considered but I'd be surprised if it doesn't become part of it. Actually, I have no mineral rights on either place so hope it isn't.
