Kathy and I were just in the office talking about the upcoming Pond Boss Convention. I was curious, other than those already paid up, who was planning on coming to Dallas to join us for 3 days of pond fun.
We look forward to meeting everyone and know that it will be fun and informative convention.
Thanks
Chad

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.

I would not miss it. Look forward to seeing you there !!
With this group I will promise you it will be fun , informative and there will be some great surprises . Stories you would not believe , laughter (double ROFLOL type) , did I say useful info , and quality people like you have never met. Everyone I have met (DFW and Atlanta) is even better in person than on the forum. Just wait until you can put the faces with the personalities and how well everyone works together in a group.
Start planning now and gather your pics and stories to bring with you.

F.McB, you're someone I'm really gonna have to reconcile my mental image with the actual appearance. I've been picturing Fatty Arbuckle crossed with Mrs. Butterworth, in pants.

F.McB, have you got enough room for the whole gang to bunk @ your place? It would sure save on hotel rental for everyone.
Pond Boss subscriber ever since I joined the forum. Thanks Bob!

Yes, we will. I suppose you can put your given name on it too, if you want, but what do I care who "John Q. Public" is. The folks I know here frequently have names like "Johnny Dirtsmasher", and that's who I'm looking to meet in Arlington.  P.S. If your real last name is "Dirtsmasher", I apologize.

This sounds real intersting and I'm sure I'd learn more in those two days than I will in the next twenty years.
I sent an email to pondboss for a registration form, but don't know if it's open to everyone, or just magazine subscribers.
Does anybody have any details on things like what it will cost, what the hours are going to be who the venders will be?
Thanks,
Eddie

Sunil:
Thanks for getting me off of the bubble. Four people announced they were coming on September 6, me being the last one. Then no more registration announcements on this site until today. I was afraid I had jinxd the whole thing.
I believe when the "special guest / celebrity speaker" list is announced that the conference will sell out and we could scalp our tickets at huge profit on eBay. I may buy about 10 tickets and take a trip to Lake Fork with the proceeds.

Bing, at this point, I have no idea what the status of special guest is, who it will be or whether there will be multiple ones. There are a lot of big names that are taking an interest in ponds and Lusk has multiple conversations going.
No matter what, when the word gets out that Sunil and Theo are coming to Cowtown, the scalpers, camera stores and liquor stores will go into overdrive. Groupies will sleeping on the steps of the Convention center.
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.
