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!!! :D

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'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?

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... :evil:

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 :(.

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.

Well I guess that means I am buying then (first round anyway, Ian could bankrupt me! :shock: ), last minute change of plans, I will be there.

I can't miss this damn thing!

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 :)
