Catfish Convention

Post by **corybreed** » 10 Oct 2006, 00:53

I am getting ready for the Catfish Convention in Maryland next week and was wondering who is planning to attend. I look forward to seeing old Planet Catfish friends and meeting others for the first time. It should be a great weekend.

I'll be there all weekend long. Can't wait!!!

I'll be bringing along a bunch of L134's and maybe some L316 and L333's if I get motivated enough to disassemble the tank the catch the little guys.

Looking forward to seeing you all. Too bad Jools and Shane won't be there again.

I'm definitely going to be there! I wouldn't miss it! I wish Shane and Jools could have made it also. Maybe we can figure out time zones and ring them up after everyone has had enough beer and taken a group picture in their honor ;).

Barbie,
Pls do! Just remember that over here it will already be the day after the convention by the time you call. I am sure I speak for Jools as well when I say that I wish I could be there.

Yes, I wish I was there, not to be this time. Anyone taking a laptop and a webcam?

I am bringing Rusty and Dinyar with me. We have the laptops, I will check into the web cam.

I'll have my laptop also. Maybe we can do a posting live feed from the talks and the auction ;).

How about a convention post which everyone can blog into and perhaps also arrange a time for an online conference?

Bit apprehensive,,

can't wait to get there,

but I have never flown before

(does it hurt the arms)?

Maybe a few drinkies would calm me down, once I have landed

It only hurts your legs, not your arms - at least if you're tall, like me...

Without going into too many details, despite the fact I have had hotel reservations and been registered for the Convention since March, I will not be able to attend.

If it is half the convention the last one was everyone is guaranteed a great time.
I look forward to the Convention posting.

Yeah, that's about enought of it...

Post by **Barbie** » 16 Oct 2006, 17:54

Oh No Paul! I'm sorry

. So many of the people I was hoping to meet can't go! What a bummer! Hopefully they'll at least refund all your fees and what not. You'll be missed

.

Dave should we have a beer in his honor? I'm pretty sure we can arrange that much at least ;).

Barbie,

I'll drink to that

Post by **medaka** » 16 Oct 2006, 23:34

Count me in too,

but I'm still abit worried about me arms

Post by **corybreed** » 17 Oct 2006, 00:59

Paul,

Sorry you won't be there. I was looking forward to the bunch of us getting together for a few cold ones. Hope all is well.

pturley · Post by **pturley** » 18 Oct 2006, 13:32

Well I guess that means I am buying then (first round anyway, Ian could bankrupt me!

), last minute change of plans, I will be there.

I can't miss this damn thing!

Post by **Barbie** » 18 Oct 2006, 18:37

WOOHOOOO! Yay! If that was a subtle ploy to make sure you have many prepurchased beers lined up, I think it worked!

We'll see you guys there. My plane leaves in a couple hours and I'll be helping Julie bring some fish down from Frybabies to have in the room. We'll be there Thursday night she says *tries to figure out where time to sleep got put into the schedule*. Then again, after the catfish people in Texas showed me how this all works, I guess sleep is optional, hehe.

Hey Barbie

I'll be there on Thursday to meet up with Julie ( picking up some cichlids ).... Won't be there Friday... Maybe Saturday... and definently Sunday.

Can't wait to meet you

From what some of my friends are saying.... this is a VERY WELL put together convention. ( I don't know how you get better than the last one but that's what they are saying

)

Should be great fun

Can't wait to meet a lot of you
