Okay, so we added Todd La Neve, Bossone, Blair and myself today that I'm aware of. Not bad.
Blair can't wait to finally meet you. Are you familiar with the American custom of "skunk petting"? No, it's nothing like "snipe hunting".

I'll bet they're even friendlier if you had a can of sardines.

Bossone in addition to the presentations (talks) there are vendor booths to see and visit. One booth will be the PB moderators where many of us hang out , talk and answer questions. We have a slide show and videos as well. Just outside the conference room is a big area with chairs , tables etc for one on one visiting. You will have lots of chances to ask any questions and get several different perspectives. We are very good about getting people with question to the right answer guys. We also have hands on demos on various topics. Another aspect is the extended walking-talking lunch (no presentations at that time) which is designed just so people get the chance to walk around and visit.

I assume there will again be silent auctions.
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.

By having a new pond, it is really a blank canvas and I look forward to soaking up a lot of knowledge. Now that it is filling and hopefully not leaking, I can move on to the next step.

Some of these guys, I'm not saying which ones, will probably have a beer after the day is done.

I use to like Johnny Walker Red and Cutty Sark, but that was a long time ago. Bloody Beefeaters Martinis are pretty good prior to, during, and after cooking the beef

Porcupine? Yes, most definitely. Question - how will you manage to smuggle it on the plane? Better be roomy cargo pants and be wearing teflon boxers!

Hey, gang, been a couple of weeks since I've been on - busy with work and getting ready for vacation, which I am now on. I just booked my lodging a couple of nights ago and am planning to make the conference. Hope it all works out as I'm looking forward to putting faces with so many of the names I've gotten to know!

Hilarious...can one actually shave a porcupine? This I have to see. Perhaps we can coax a skunk to go under the shears at the Buzzard Lounge for practice?

My wife has dealt with many a skunk at our local Humane Society and strongly suggests against this.

TJ, as long as you keep it's (the skunks') tail down it won't spray. I'll bring the electric clippers for you and watch. Josh, he's a city boy. Don't edjamacate him quite yet. You can tell him after the conference.

For Todd, it's not a spot.
Excerpt from Robert Crais' "The Monkey's Raincoat:"
"She took another microscopic bite of her sandwich, then pushed it away. Maybe she absorbed nutrients from her surroundings."

If you see this individual at PB IV don't be alarmed. He is semi-OK.
