Anyone here planning on attending the convention in Lancaster PA in April?

I think I am going to join and go, Hillbilly. I am not a member, but am a member of the NABC and they are having a meeting on the same weekend, at the same time so may just have to do it.

I have never been to a P & Y convention but might try to make this one because it is only 1 1/2 hours away.

I've never been to one of the club's conventions. With it being so close, I can't pass it up.

Not going and quit, because they slapped in the face their founding father and all traditional members after the Madison, WI convention, by eliminating the 65% let off 3 months after the membership voted to keep it.  Now they put an asterisk (should have been a dollar sign) in the book if it was shot with over 65.  I take that back, they may have even eliminated that.

I call it the A&J Club - Allen and Jennings.  If you've ever gone to an A&J convention and a PBS convention you'd notice an absence of egos at the PBS.  No comparison.

Forgive me for venting, but I grew up thinking I'd never be good enough to be a member of a club like P&Y and now I don't even respect them.  

How long am I going to keep this grudge going???  You should see how pissed I am about "Da Girls" going to the Super Bowl!!!  I'm a bitter, bitter man.

Clay,
   How is it going man. Made anymore bows? None for me. Adding rooms in the basement is as close as I've come to any woodworking.

Yeah Jason, I just broke another BBO a couple of days ago  :(   :(  Oh well, I've still got a couple pieces of wood here.

Todd, thank you for that truthful quote directly out of the National Enquirer  :)

But Todd's not bitter.  

I quit P&Y for the same reason.
