Blair/Oh Canada is working for the man now... That is a serious bummer. He and his bride always bring such bright and happy rays from the land of midnight sun.

I'm guessing if we collectively imbibe enough, no one will miss the band...especially not when Al is tubing...whilst aflame.
Note: I do not condone either of these activities...

I have no musical skills.
When I try to sing it sounds like a dying calf in a hail storm.
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.

That plan may work TJ. I like both tubing and fire, and have total disdain for any type of party liqueur.
Will we be done by dark?

Yes, Al, and then it's Missouri Boat Ride time!!!

Haha thanks for thinking of us you guys but we cannot make the trip this year. Our area is going through a ressession with the price of oil hitting its lows. I have a new carrier as an apprentice electrician. I still have a job after our shop has laid off 30% of the employees in the last 2 weeks. Also I am one of only 10% that are getting full time hrs.
Just not the right time this year.

Oh Canada...you'll have to pass along the orange wedge target practice to someone else this year. Hopefully they'll lack your sharpshooting skills. Tell your bro, hey!

Yes, Al, and then it's Missouri Boat Ride time!!! Since I'll be bringing my spray barge, Al could at least take a ride on a boat FROM Missouri. He could even fire up the pumps and man the hoses, water cannon style, in case [when?] TJ gets a little out of control again.

Rex - the party barge costs $37/person - I think you ought to give them a run for their money and offer your own Booze Cruise for far less. Wildlife viewing, all you can eat pork rind buffet, and we could use your water cannons on the country club party barge snobs right before we assume control. Make eye patches mandatory once you step on board - total pirate theme, ye scallywags!

Free market competition.
You need a Rum Punch though. A real bad Rum punch...from Rum in a plastic bottle.

With all the lime scaling on mine, I think Billy Bob teeth and an all redneck attire would be more appropriate than eye patches

TJ/Rex... Hilarious! Rex, how many can you fit on your "party" barge? Maybe 10 without all the pumps and equipment, 2 when loaded and safety rails removed.

I need in on the booze cruise. I'm always scarred taking flat bottoms on lakes without scoping out first. Had some near sink experiences in some choppy water a few times on Table Rock. Mostly from motors dying or jet plugging. I believe a town Elder is coming with me. Can he atend the supper with stars? What is the Friday night events? I need to get that stuff booked.

Hey, any you guys having second thoughts about attending the conference, here''s a reminder. It aint just all about fish and biology. My buddy Dave D. just gave me a wake-up call - ask him to tell the story! Life time friendships are the most important! See 'ya at the "ice breaker"! George

I found out yesterday the Hilton there does not allow pets. Some Hiltons do allow pets but this one does not. We have a 5lb maltiese/toy poodle mix family member who goes where we go. Charlie is family, and he loves to go fishing with me, and he loves going to the pond. He likes getting in the water and looks like a drowned white rat when wet. He always puts a smile on my face when we are at the pond. So I will be looking into getting a room @ LaQuinta (MS I think) because they have always allowed pets and so we stay with them a lot when traveling. I have a question here. Do venders selling such things as aerator's and other pond stuff have an area set up to display their products or where we might discuss such things? Thanks Tracy

Tracy: Yes, vendors will be there. Here's a partial list of vendors at the bottom of the last page: http://www.pondboss.com/events.asp?id=7 Plus while Bill Cody won't be there, I will. Either in the moderators booth or walking around.

I'm looking forward to putting faces with the new people that are on the forum! For me, the conference goes by all too quickly. There's not enough time in the day (and night) to talk to everybody.
