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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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