Pond Boss Forums INTRO Questions & Observations Who's going?

So, who's all in for the meeting?

I'm good as there. Booking my flight tomorrow.

Bruce Condello - Would you mind bringing Big Head Sally, Cor, Ona, and Furhead with you in your luggage? They really love how fish grow larger and more numerous during happy hour.

I'll be driving the 6.5 miles.

See you all there and stop by the moderators booth to meet , visit and enjoy the slide show -- your pond , face or fish might be in it. George will be tying some flies , we will be posting live and taking pics. There will be some surprises and Bob will give away a door prize or 2.

Darnit I wish I could be there! I have to reserve my 2 weeks vacation for my high adventure trip to Philmont Scout reservation in New Mexico in June, 65 miler back packing trip this time. What a place! wouldnt miss it for the world! Maybe next year I will get to meet you guys in person, for some it seems like we have already met.

I am there!!!!.....I would like to donate a door prize. I feel like i have gained so much from you guys. Let me know if i need to send it in advance or just bring it.

This will undoubtedly go down as the hardest decision I had to make in 2007........but unless my schedule changes, i am really going to miss meeting you folks

edited post....BTW, were the two celebs ever announced?

Bruce Condello and Ava Gardner.

I'll be there. I've always wanted to meet Ava.

I'll be there. I've got emails into Dave1 and Bob also asking about door prizes. I plan to donate a couple but mine would need to be shipped a couple of weeks before the meeting as I will be flying to Texas the week before and can't haul them around. Mine aren't Pond related so don't know if they are acceptable.

Bing

Bing, cases of fine German beer are always, always acceptable.

Some would even say that 50 year old bottles of fine single malt scotch are also acceptable.

However, any quantities of Diet Mountain Dew are frowned upon.

Fred, they're acceptable. We just haven't figured how to gitterdun.

yer killin me sunil.....perhaps i will miss meeting you most of all as i sit here drinking my first Bitburger of the evening, and look forward to my afterdinner snippet of glen livet.

plus i was curious what a guy who can bench 600 lbs looks like in person.

"plus i was curious what a guy who can bench 600 lbs looks like in person."

You'd never know it to see me. As you know, I really don't like to brag. I wonder how I ever let it slip out that I could bench press 665 lbs.

As badly as I want to come, I won't be there.

Maybe ya'll can sit around a table & offer a toast to those of us that couldn't make it.

Here is a toast to Ric! We will miss seeing you again but will do some live posts so yall can at least get an idea of things.

I thought Sunil could belch 600 lbs.

That too!

I'll be there. Forget the fish, I just want to meet everyone. Meadowlark, I sure hope you will be there.

I am in like flynn, It is a very long 12 miles from my house actually closer to 15 so I may be late. Cant wait to meet some of you guys!!

My sister's nephew (by marriage) is a dozer hand. He lives 20 miles or so from there. We'll both be there.

I booked my room at the Wyndham Arlington Convention Center (ph. 817-261-8200).
