Hey, are you going to Jefferson, TX in November? If so, let us know!

Oh yeah, I'm going.

I'll be there.

Ah, a musical bird.

I'll be there. Plane tickets booked - conference tickets booked, now all I need is something to do in Dallas on the Thursday night.

If anyone else is going to be in Dallas on the Thursday, let me know.

I'll be there. Sending $$ for my place at the conference today.

I'll be there.

C

I'm trying to make arrangements, but I may be missing this one.

You know I will be there

WOW, this is a great line up from the BFF - And Paul himself !!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to meeting JayleeD and Counselor.

Peregrine is gonna be there?? *cue mission impossible music*

Every year I try to go. Every year something goes wrong. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

MIKE you have to come !!!!!!!!! Please

RB and I will be there! We'll be in Dallas the week before the meetings visiting with RB's family. Paul are you looking for a ride to Jefferson? We'll be leaving Friday morning to Jefferson and returning on Monday to Dallas.

During his Talkshoe interview I heard Fishbone (aka Tim Cullen) say he was going to attend.

Anyone else coming?

The conference is only 5 weeks away from today.

Save me a place at Saturday night's dinner.

You do know that the Jefferson Port has been out of commission for quite some time...

In 1845, when obstructions were removed from Big Cypress Bayou, steamboats could reach Jefferson from New Orleans. After the arrival of the the first steamboat, Jefferson became a boom town where many pioneers to Texas first set foot on Texas soil when they disembarked from the steamboats.

Jefferson became a port of entry into the Republic of Texas and then the State of Texas. It was also a shipping port for those who wished to sell agricultural products, especially cotton. Cotton was brought to Jefferson from as far away as Dallas by ox wagon and then sold in Jefferson through receiving, forwarding, and commission merchants to markets in New Orleans and St. Louis

During Jefferson's Golden Era as a steamboat port from 1845 until 1875, it became a cosmopolitan town like most port cities with a confluence of cultures and businesses. The architectural styles, which developed in Jefferson during this period of prosperity, resembled those of New Orleans. The homes were primarily of Greek revival design.

When the log raft was removed by the Army Corps of Engineers in the year 1873, the water level in Big Cypress Bayou was reduced and navigation to Jefferson was threatened. Railroads were also extended during this period of time across Texas, which reduced Jefferson's commercial market area. The town ceased to be a prominent port city and commercial center. However, many of the mid-nineteenth century homes and buildings remained.

There goes that plan! Guess I will have to fly.

Was hoping to, but it doesn't look like it'll be happening

It is official. I have vacation scheduled and have made plane reservations... and I will be attending.

I don't know yet if I can attend the conference, but I live in Dallas if you need any suggestions.

RB and I will be in Dallas the week prior to the conference...sightings are very likely at Luby's and Randy Whites!

I should totally go.... Now, if only I could find a way to not be in school then...

I'll be dragging an old ball and chain. Hubby is going with me!

Planning on being there.....again.....but, this time i think i'll actually make it........again.....

It'll be good to actually meet all of you that are going.....

Just a little over 3 weeks away...

Anyone else?

Anyone in the area of the conference know of the closest bus stop? I wouldn't want to drive that far, and I'd rather not fly. I was thinking of doing the Greyhound thing. Any ideas?

Nope, aint happening. Too long to travel. Oh well, perhaps next year.

You will be able to move my name to the registered list... I'm sending my registration and payment in this afternoon.

Counting down, only 6 days away.

Jon A. Larsen has registered.

Anyone else coming?

I'm hoping on coming. It's all contingent on whether I can get on via stand-by out of L.A.

Unless, of course, someone has a jet pack I could borrow.

Will DEFINITELY be there!

Should be a good one (as always). I will certainly be there. Looking forward to seeing old friends and making new ones. I am going to go out on limb and say that folks, this is The Bigfoot event of the year. Need your fix... then try and get down, up or over there for it.

November 10th I'll be deep in the Green Swamp all day long. It's the opening day for hunting. Who knows... maybe I'll see or hear something skunk apish!

NEWS FLASH : The USBU (United States Bigfoot Union) is sending a real Bigfoot to the conference......to set the record straight on many things, and kick a few asses that need kickin'.

Would love to be there! Unfortunately, will have to wait for 2008. (that rhymes, maybe I'll make it my mantra) I do hope someone will give a detailed report here on the BFF, for those of us who can't make it this year. Have fun everybody!

I have inside info that will occur.

Okay guys - I'm heading home for a few hours sleep before I head to the airport in about eight hours time

See you all in Texas.

Good to hear Tug, looking forward to it!

When Paul gets back home he'll be saying "see y'all" instead of using standard English, or Irish, or whatever it is he talks over there...
