I didn't mean to intimate I wasn't attending [still not sure on that] rather that you'll have to pick someone else who is trying to respectfully listen to a speaker to use as target practice. Besides, Banks is planning to hijack a Keystone Light delivery truck and we're gonna convoy to Branson. Can't miss that...felony + cheap beer = good times at Big Cedar.

That's good news. Hope you make it.
Banks, however, is full of hollow threats. He said he had some kind of work to do, finish some shock boats or something like that, on a deadline, and therefore couldn't attend.
I proposed several 'solutions' to him on how to attend and still get the work done, on time. As you know, he failed to attend.
I did some post research and determined that had I been billable working for a top end consulting firm, my advice would have cost Banks exactly $3.32 USD.

Banks has no excuse, he lives 2 hours away. If necessary, I'll plow the beer truck into his front yard and have Condello shock-boat him into a unconscious stupor and toss him into the cooler. He'll likely fully recover by the time we arrive in Branson...provided he can survive the chilly conditions. I'll be sure to hijack a truck sporting a better brand of beer, too - which is another upgrade on the Hudson plan. Any requests? I'm a New Belgium fan, myself.

If it accidentally kills him, then Cecil should be able to do some quick taxidermy work to make it look like he's alive.

Oh, we're calling those "accidents" now?
What pose will Cecil choose - and what props will he need? Banks tipping back a Keystone Light sitting on a 5 G bucket? That would be lifelike...I can provide both props, too.

I think that Cecil could do some other "background" work...like little T-Rex's skittering around his feet. Yeah, definitely love the idea of him sitting on a five-gallon bucket.

I'm glad I'm almost as old as DD! There is nothing better than a good night's sleep -- starting at an early hour!

I agree about the sleep, although I seem to do fine on 6 hr., with occasional nights of 4. I'll sleep during the winter when things are slow.

Excellent. My wife and have attended all of them. I've never heard of anyone not truly enjoying the whole experience. Lusk and crew really know how to do a great job, and the facilities are incredible.

Good to hear it. Planning is well underway. Like a giant family reunion but even better.

I booked my room ~ same as the last two conferences... stumbling distance from the buzzard loung. Stumbling is right...Vertex extrordinaire by day - rabble-rousing, riot-inciting, sturgeon wrasslin', sidekick havin', potty-mouthed, go for broke, kamakazie hot mess by night! Whew! DISCLAIMER: For those of you unaware - Sue is a consumate professional and gallactic asset to the Vertex organization - I'm again childishly jesting. Not sure what stumbling she's talking about, and I've never seen her at Buzzard Lounge before, either.

Sue - I have a spare sombrero looking for someone up to filling appropriately. Any interest?

I got my room booked. Back at the Valley View lodge.
I haven't been able to find a before lunch flight out of Branson yet though.

Sunil
Fly into MCI early, me bruce and josh will pick you up and we can hang with banks for night, then drive down. He has plenty of room for us, and a sweet SMB/RES pond too. Bar in Polo is a blast...I almost get my butt kicked every time I'm in there...not sure why. Perhaps it's the sombrero? Ole!
