Annual meeting?

[dualstow]

For some reason, I have this picture of a meeting room in a hotel full of more or less regular looking guys standing around making small talk while wearing leather chaps.

One thing's for sure: the carpet would be clean.

Unless you decided to talk about PP variable strategies and quasi-PP's, there isn't that much to talk about, that isn't already on this great site.

The HBPP convention is a victim of the strategy's simplicity.

We could get drunk and compare the size of our PPs.

I still think a monthly chat could do a lot to help move things along. We could plan a book out of it. We could establish concrete rules for the PP (there's still no consensus on the amount of foreign stocks an investor should hold, best way to hold gold etc.). So there is definitely room for discussion.

That sounds like a time honored activity at a convention.  Not that I've ever done it, of course. 

Even though I live on the east coast, I would vote for Dallas as a meeting place.  It is in the center of the country, it's an airline hub and MT wouldn't have to travel too far.

Being a white male, I always love going to Texas.  But they tend to be pretty hospitable toward everyone down there these days.  Maybe someone could bring some rain along with them.

Dallas is a good place.

If some of us would like to connect, though, Skype would probably be a good place to start.

Now that's funny!

Seriously, I think this would be interesting, and a great opportunity to meet some of the unique characters here. I do have a concern, though, about a public meeting of a group that holds physical gold, and wonder if that could potentially place us at some risk of being targetted for theft or worse.

I don't want to get stuck in the corner talking to this guy. You know... unless it's Craig:

That guy gets all the women.

That guy is actually married (though many women desire him).

His wife:

I think I met her once, in a hooker bar in Costa Rica.

TMI?

Most of us are once upon a time a soldier, hooker, or a slave.

I'm almost sure everyone is descended from slaves at some point. Northern Europeans under the Romans, Jews under the Egyptians, blacks under whites, Hispanics under Spanish etc.

That, while wearing leather chaps, might not be a great idea here in Texas.  Well..............maybe in Austin.

And don't wear your, slightly faded, Obama "Hope" t-shirt. That also might not be a great idea here in Texas.  Well..............maybe in Austin.

And don't ride your bike down the street without any clothes on.  That also might not be a great idea here in Texas.  Well............maybe in Austin.

(I was driving down the street in Austin late one night and passed a group of bicyclists riding together......naked.  That sort of thing is not all that unusual in Austin.)

In New York that happens daily. Art students.

What gave me the biggest kick out of the nude bicyclists is that they were wearing helmets.

That just struck me as absurd and very funny at the same time.

As I recall, the video for Queen's "Fat Bottom Girls" also featured nude bicycling.
