Not a terrible opinion at all sprkplug. Sounds pretty thoughtful if you ask me.
The focus of the get together I am planning is just going to be mostly hanging out with like minded friends. Maybe a little fishing and if we come up with some informative stuff that is fine too. But just getting to know other PBF'ers is the main goal.
You are right about a major conference being jam packed so much that social time is sometimes limited. I have a little bit of a hard time socializing at such events anyway. So many people in one place kind of intimidates me. I feel much more comfortable in a smaller group.
