Look for two greenhorns from southern Illinois at the Wyndham...Thursday to Sunday. We are looking forward to meeting you Pond Boss faithful. Just what is a greenhorn? ;\)

Greg, all contributions will be gratefully accepted.


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.

FMcB just don't do your rain dance inside the convention center. We don't need a pond inside. :p

So it seems like there are only thirteen or so of us who are going to the convention (aside from speakers)?

It's typical at conventions like these for speakers to outnumber attendees.

The money is generated from advance sales to future conventions generated by the internet buzz.

Trust me...Extra attendees just get in the way.

The last I heard, there were either 65 or 85 paid attendees. However, the media ads in Texas haven't started yet. When Lusk notifies the Texas Outdoor Writers Association members, it should sell out and fill up pretty quickly. Writers are always looking for a story that they don't have to generate. The target audience or goal is for mag subscribers and web site attendees (junkies) to get first shot.

I'm registered, ticketed & hoteled (Wyndham). Coming in Thursday and leaving Sunday. Can't wait! Unfortunately, I'm selling my farm (w/4A, .75A & .33A ponds). Hate to do it, but I'll buy another in the future, and hopefully make it better with what I've learned here and will learn at the Convention.

I'll be in early Thursday afternoon in order to beat the evening traffic (also at the Wyndham). Anyone know where the early birds (junkies) could meet and get together for a mixer on Thursday night?

I owe a few rounds.

I'll be wherever the action is on Thursday night. Remember that I may have Buddy Ebsen and Joe Paterno with me.

New Years resolutions were to swear off of Whataburger and alcohol. Oh well what the hell. It will be worth it to party with Uncle Jed.

You young bucks are going to have to run and play all by yourselves without these tired old bones that have to get their rest. \:\(

I’ll make a brief appearance to collect the Shiner Bock that Sunil owes me. \:D

I’ll be at my son’s home in Bedford – just a hop skip and jump away from the conference center.

For those of us/you who are helping set up a booth/registration the set up time is 5 am Friday. I can't stay up late but will look to enjoy the gathering for a while Thursday afternoon/night. \:\)

We're now within (4) weeks of the show.

According to our little pole here, less that twenty of us have openly admitted that we're going to the show.

Come on now! It's nothing to be ashamed of to say you're going to a pond-freak gathering.

Sure they may not understand at work, but not to worry. They don't need to know where you're really going to be that weekend.
