Guest DWA Posted January 28, 2013 Posted January 28, 2013 For anyone who actually wants to know more about this topic, this conference is a great opp. I've only been to one (2009); the next one I can make (this year's maybe?), I definitely will.
Guest Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 Would love to meet you there! Let me know if you show up. Note, the schedule has been tweaked.

Guest DWA Posted January 29, 2013 Posted January 29, 2013 (edited) All those are gonna be good. Munns alone brings world-class expertise in something skeptics think should be easy to do...but he knows isn't. I'll let you know. If I can't make it it won't be for not trying. In '09 I did some cool sidetrips - Beavers Bend (that lake is the prettiest view I ever woke up to in a hotel room) and Little River and the Talimena Drive in AR/OK; hikes plus an all-night "scoping" drive (including the Ghost Road, around 1 a.m.) in the Thicket. The whole area is, you know, kinda squatchy. Edited January 29, 2013 by DWA
Guest Posted February 3, 2013 Posted February 3, 2013 Aaaand, now we've added Lyle Blackburn to the line-up! Really excited about that. If you're read his excellent book on Boggy Creek, you know Lyle has a deep comprehension of the area's bigfoot lore. The schedule is being monkeyed with to make room and will be posted as soon as it's done.
Wheellug Posted February 4, 2013 Posted February 4, 2013 Totally awesome! Need a reminder.. put it on my work calendar...
Hairy Man Posted February 28, 2013 Posted February 28, 2013 Just to note that the TBRC have added a Friday Night Social. You can come and hang out with Meldrum, Munns, Josh Gates and lots of other cool people. The Friday Night Social will include a fabulous meal including butler passed hors d’oeuvres (including Spicy Eggplant & Mozzarella Brushetta, Spinach & Chicken Spanakopita in Phyllo, Coconut Shrimp Tempura, and Mini Beef Wellington with Perigourdine Sauce), a Smoked BBQ Beef Brisket Carving Station and sides (including caramelized onions, vegetables, assorted rolls), a Gourmet Whipped Potato Bar, and a Chef’s Selection of Miniature Desserts, Cakes, and Pies. A cash bar will offer a wide variety of imported and domestic beers, wine, and soft drinks. Tickets are only $50 and admission is limited.

Hairy Man Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Only 9 days before the conference... It is going to be awesome!
Guest Orygun Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Will there be additional security for Munns incase an Erickson support decides to go wacko?
Bill Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 Thank you for your concern, but I doubt that it will be necessary. The storm seems to have passed, and the realization that the EP has more problems with it's relationship with ketchum than with me seems to have put the matter back into a more balanced perspective. Plus I understand the bulletproof glass is really transparent so nobody will have trouble seeing me through it. Bill
Guest Orygun Posted March 8, 2013 Posted March 8, 2013 You could always borrow the Popemobile until they get a new one.
