The Buzzard Bar/Lounge is one of the bars on the grounds.
The Buzzard booth may be myself or Young Blood smuggling beers onto the show floor.

Is it legal to bring 12 packs onto the show floor or it is considered boot-legging? If it is legal, then I've come to the right place!

Well, 'legal' is up to interpretation.
I may have gone overboard when I used the resort's ice bins to cool the beers.

I am officially registered. Been busy the past 2.5 years launching another business venture. We developed a new electrofishing control box while maintianing a rapidly growing pond management business. What a whirlwind!! Life is good.
Sunil, your recent math has suggested that your consultation to me was valued at $3 and some change, so why did you actually charge me $17,576.83. No need to mail my refund, just bring it to the conference. I will use the funds to buy rounds and to post TJ's bail. In the spirit of the movie, The Hangover, I have convinced Dr. Bruce to pull his tooth out during the social event.
I think TJ and Bruce are heading down a day early and swinging by my shop for an outing which will likely involve the ATF. Sunil, you'll fit in just perfectly (i saw a video of your camp out a few months ago) should you choose to fly directly to KC International and hitch a ride with the Nebraska boys. Speaking of which, What's the difference between a Cornhusker fan and carp? One is a bottom-feeding nuisance and the other is a fish. Ba Da Bing! Go Tigers!
It will be good to catch up with everyone. I think Bob has me slated to give a talk. We will also have a booth.
ALSO, I am very pleased to announce that Jeff Slipke has recently joined our team, and Jeff will also be giving a presentation. We are excited to have Jeff on board. His presence will help push our pond & fisheries management, fisheries research, and product/equipment development to an even higher level. See you in 2.5 months.

Shawn, perhaps there may have been an accounting error in my invoice to you, and while we're very pleased that you paid the invoice, "we have no recollection of that, Senator."

I will do Information Technology Consulting for half of what Sunil charges per hour. It isn't that my consult is less valuable. It is that I multi-thread while Sunil thinks linearly and can only handle one thing at a time, step by step.....

Official Warning: Bruce Josh and I just booked a 3 BR cabin on the fringe of the Big Cedar Campus about a half mile walk, or so they told me, across the highway on Freunde Drive: http://www.rentbransoncabins.com/Accommodations just weren't available our size at Big Cedar, plus we spent about half the $ going off campus, which paid our conference dues. There are cabins available right next to us, and it would be cool to have some other PB folks in the "compound" to bolster our force for the nightly skunk raids we'll execute on the rich snobs down by the lake. Be forewarned...it's not a question of IF we're coming, just WHEN...like, when you least expect it!

Not trying to change the subject, but my wife was curious as to the appropriate attire during the conference. Particularly during Friday evening's banquet.... Is it casual or formal? Jacket and tie? Pajamas with little fishies on them? No worries, as I have both.
My wife on the other hand, doesn't have fish jammies....What should she wear?

Tony
You're new this year, so PB functions are always black tie affairs for rookies. A conservative cocktail dress or pantsuit would be appropriate for your wife.
Once you "earn your stripes", attire restrictions are off the board. We even have one weirdo who wears a sombrero...little flamboyant IMO, but whatever. He's dangerous to confront...he always pockets a skunk and is ready to roll.
PS: Wear whatever is comfortable, there is no dress code or expectations other than you enjoy yourself immensely.

Do you have to stay at big cedar to come to conference? I only live a few hours away. If not how much does it cost to get in?
