Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Pond Boss Convention

There's such a thing as pond groupies?!?

Never heard of them being stocked into a pond. They are indigenous to the warm ocean waters. :rolleyes:

Yep; rumor has it they're anadromous.

Nope, it's the Sunil and Theo Groupers, er I mean groupies.

Is there a thread about the convention that has all of the details (when, where, topics etc).

I am a subscriber and frequent this site, but I missed this one.

Jeff try this one. I hope you can come. This is going to be a great event with some really good things planned.

Are there any plans to roast Lusk?

I'm more interested in gigging Otto. However, that's a man sized job and requires a good defense strategy and a quick excape route. He's evil.

Now Dave that is being a little hard on Otto. After all isn't he still learning to read and write.

...Dave prepares a plan:

What has become of boyhood friendships, forged to last a lifetime? If I may borrow from the Book of Dave, What Lusk hath wrought, let no pondmeister put asunder. Words to harken back to a time when pinkie promises were never broken (last pic in series)

When will the conference agenda be available?

isnt this like 6 months away?

at this rate there will be barnum and bailey circus complete with trained fish and dancing mermaids

you guys can start a thread, how many days till the convention. and count em down with a new plan on every countdown day.

its only dirt but the water is always beautifull

RT, it's pretty sketchy so far. However, the general idea, AT THIS TIME, is to have 4 separate "classes" going on simultaneously in separated conference areas. They will repeat so nobody has to make a decision on what to see/hear and what to skip.

BTW, parking costs $5 or $6 per day at the Convention Center. However, the hotel across the street has no problem with conference attendees parking there and walking across the street. I was told this by the Convention Manager.

For those advertisers who take a booth, there will be overnight security, etc. Yep, that's an extra cost.

No booze or guns allowed. It runs up the cost of the Liability Ins. policy that they insist we carry.

It ought to be first class. Every time something new (surprises) comes up, Lusk says "Spend the money. We want to do it right." Since neither of us have ever done anything like this and have had absolutely no idea what is involved, there has been a bunch of surprises. All costing money. "What, you mean drinking fountains are metered? Pay toilets?" Well, it's not quite that severe but a lot of things that you think would be part of the deal aren't free in the convention business.

Dave did I here you say pick-pocket 3 times real fast. :p

Yeah Eric, it is kind of a character builder.

The only reason I'm asking is I am local and only plan to attend one of the two days. I want to be sure to meet all of you PBFF'S as I can. I sure wouldn't want to miss out on any celab's either.

Reviving this thread...paid my registration today, booked a room as well. Rosenberg Ranch & Rosenberg Ranch II will be represented, I'm bringing my Pop. Looking forward to seeing everyone who attended the 1st DFW meeting again, and can't wait to meet all the others who frequent here...we are going to learn a few things and laugh our butts off, this will be GREAT. Life is Good ! ...as long as it rains

The speaker list is stellar. I'm completely pumped up about this. Looking forward to seeing you, Eastland! And everybody else, too!

Bob is still working out details about keynote speaker(s).

I'm startin on some fun stuff that has nothin to do with fish or water.

Dave I have been working on fun stuff for the meeting for 3 mths. You never know who's pic will pop up as a topic of conversation. Fly tying , door prizes , slide show , free handouts and some other surprises as well - and that is just from the moderators' booth.

Texas Hold'em????

That describes what George will be doing with the flies he creates. :p

Naw Man, Groceries!

Ewest, you should feel ashamed, George was kind enough to mail out "free" flies just last year (p.s. will you make me a shirt just like you wore to the DFW meeting...with the logo and all ? )

DD...Groceries, way over my head ???

Sunil, deal me in

Eastland, as long as no one brings the titles/deeds to their ponds, we should be good.
