I won't be able to attend, therefore, I'm not casting a vote...
That said, things need to start firming up a little. Like they say in real estate, Location, Location, Location.
The other main issue is the date. The sooner that's decided the sooner it can be added to the calendar and people can start planning to attend.
Then there are still things like where are you staying. We were able to a discount in Clinton and our host and hostess, Nathan and Deb made us feel like family. Nathan opened his workshop and there was always something either being discussed or demonstrated - What a blast. Fishing was on a small private pond near Nathan's and Gene was bring them in hand over fist.
I know that the meet in Clinton has been going on for a few years now... and, I heard this was the largest meet ever at 14 or 16 I think. I think some may have had only 4 or 5... Nathan, Coley, Gene, or KcDano would know more of the history. I know my wife is already looking forward to Clinton, 2009 and so am I.

Bruce,sorry to hear you can't make it.I was looking forward to meeting you in person.As soon as we figure out where we're going to meet,we can start looking for places to stay.I'd like to shoot for sometime in September.I think that the 3 best choices are Havasu,The Delta,and Clear Lake as all 3 offer unique fishing experiences.I'm not close to any of these lakes,but i'm just showing my desire to make this trip a success by traveling 6-10 hours to get there.
The trip to Clear Lake, CA for me would take 30.0 hours 24 minutes (non-stop) with an estimated distance of 2084.8 miles. You guys will just have to take plenty of photos and show us everything we missed so Jerry can post them all. I really don't know the lay of the land out west. San Diego, Ocean Side, and LAX are the only memories I carry from Cali and a good part of those included deployments to other parts of the world. Hey, I almost forgot Black's Beach...
