I'm curious as well
I just hope that the Huntmasters guys who went made us all proud by getting into a fist fight or slapping some chick on the ass or getting hauled off to jail or something.

I read that our friend JD won at least one division of the calling contest, but I haven't seen who won overall championship.

I went.
I did get a laugh when I noticed the table the Higgins duo and DanC were at, was directly across from PM's table. I heard someone was putting DanC's business card on their table each night. hehehe
Listened to the Coyote vocalization contest. I have no idea how the judges were able to do what they did. I couldn't pick who I thought were the top 5.
Went to several seminars and bought some stuff. I enjoyed Lance's seminar on Coons, once it finally got moving. Came home the same day we went, so I was a little tired.
I expected it to be bigger, but it was what it was. Didn't spend as much as I had anticipated, or do any time in the local lockup. So it was a good time for me.

Just got back. Thanks, Dan. As he eluded to, we had a bit of trouble getting off the ground. The projector through which we were to run our laptop for our Power Point had a jumble of wires running from it and our hookup failed to work. The tech guy that was supposed to be there to troubleshoot things wasn't, so we had to wait about fifteen minutes for him to simply walk in and push one button. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
But, the demo went well, and had a few great questions at the end. Everyone seemed to laugh when they were supposed to and didn't when they weren't. Having been brought up short on time, I really figured I'd have to go at it like an auctioneer, then to wrap things up, yell, "SOLD!!!" really loud and bring everyone back to the real world.
As far as fights and fisticuffs, none of that. Actually, you'll be surprised at just how much the air seemed to clear by putting all the various players in the same room and well within arm's reach of one another. I have a picture of Mike Dillon and Rich chumming it up, as well as pics of "the Steves" - Steve Borland and Steve Dillon. Same thing.
Last night, everyone who is anyone, and I all headed out to Hooter's when the Expo Center shut down. All in all, about 75 of us invaded the place and the service couldn't have been worse , and looked better. ![[Mad]](mad.gif) ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
I've got a bunch of pics that I'll get downloaded later when I get the chance and will post them as soon as I can.
It was a great event. Lotsa fine folks from the various boards to meet and greet and I spent most of two days trying to "Higgins" (work the room). No sooner would I finally catch up to someone I wanted to talk to for a bit when someone else would go walking by and slap me on the shoulder as they passed. I'm pretty worn out just from chasing people down for two days!
Lotsa good vendors and I managed to affirm some old contacts and make some new ones. It was a good time.

Agreed, if there was a category for "working a room" Higgins would win it.

Thanks for the pics and stories guys. Looking forward to more.
But two questions..
1. Why isn't the Sultan wearing his Turban? This is not good. Some of us wonder if the Sultan is abandoning the teachings of the Prophet in a attempt to endear himself to the infidels. He could have at least wore a Fez. Where is my explosive belt??
2. All you killers invaded Hooters and the Police weren't called???....amateurs

Mule,
I've only been thrown out of Hooters twice, I wish that there was one closer to home so I could get rid of my amateur status.
But Joyce did get a picture of me wearing a Fez yesterday, maybe I could give Higgins some pointers?
CDog,
Don't just accuse the service of being poor, show us some pictures of them so we can judge for ourselves?

Tim,
My wife went with me to the Expo and graciously stayed at the hotel with our daughter while I went cavorting with the pack of wild dogs. (Bless her heart.) Upon my return back to the hotel, I assured her, without re$ervation , that had our waitress not had the boobs and butt going for her, she wouldn't have been worth a crap. Now, having said that, you have to be pretty damned bad to still lose the tip when you're walking around in the uniforms they wear (quite nicely, I might add) and sporting the curves and crevices they boast. But, she sure as hell did. I'm thinking that Higgins might have left her .07, but I'm not sure. If that's even close, he was generous.

Kelly that reminds me I need to send Joe a picture with his "old" call and a bear from last week, and give him a bad time for not being able to bring it in with his new call since they weren't quite ready.
Congrats Kee and JD. Those are some fine looking trophies.
If anyone ever makes it to Spokane, I would be happy to help them get thrown out of our local Hooters.

Leonard! This is Debbie. I just read this. I'm not Latina, what's your point? What do you know, what should I know? You do know he's married to me at least now don't you? Maybe we should discuss this in person. Just give me the time and date. Bring Back-Up!

This is Tyler now ha. I have to say congrats to JD and Brent for taking 1st and 3rd in the vocal competition. I cant help but say i might be a little bummed that me and my dad didn't place, but I'd rather lose to the best then win against the worst and JD and Brent were flawless. I also got to see some of the video that they are coming out with in September i think, but the video is going to be great. OH Brent and JD... tell Steve I have already ran out of the gum and I'm having withdrawals. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
