Driveway drinking
Driveway drinking
If you're on the fence about going to the P&Y convention in April, I've got three reasons to go. You can add to my list.
1. You will meet new people. I met a guy from Utah a few years back, and every time I called him and asked what he was up to, he would always answer, "I'm sitting in the driveway drinking wine (or beer)." In 2013 I was driving from a mule deer hunt in Colorado to Oregon for an elk hunt, when I realized that I was literally driving through his town.
I called him up and asked if he wanted to drink in the driveway that night. he answered, "Hell yeah," We drank beer, ate coues deer shish-kabobs and I got to sleep in a bed that night. The next morning I was on my way to Oregon.

Oh there's many, many more reasons.... Your reason #1 is very hard to describe. I have great friends from all over North America whom I met at P&Y conventions.
Jim, I'm not sure if you're aware of it or not but Kenny had a near death experience back in December after complications from surgery. He is still in the hospital and slowly recovering. Please pray for him... Ed F

I'm 65 miles away....and those are some reasons why I won't go! Do be very cautious going 'outside the hotel'....day or night! St.Louis does have its problems!

This year will be the first I've missed in almost 20 years. It is a very nice event with a lot of down to earth folks. The trophy displays are amazing.

Is it possible for me to attend, since I don't drink?
From: EmbryOklahoma
28-Mar-17
Kendall... don't let all these drinking highlights distract you. This is just a front for a lot of tea sipping, crumpet munching and story telling. You should go. :)

I will make it. I only live 30 miles away. I was hoping for RC Cola & Moonpies

Have you ever drank soo much and the next day tell yourself that you will never do that again?
From: Blind Sow

Considering the pics of Ned a few sayings come to mind: 1. "I suppose that in a few hours I will sober up. That's such a sad thought. I think I'll have a few more drinks to prepare myself." 2. Intoxicated, adjective: when you feel sophisticated without being able to pronounce it. And last but not least - 3. So, when is this "old enough to know better" supposed to kick in?
From: Zackman

Ned,
It's only a temporary thought. Life should be full of as much fun as you can pack into it. Moderation is not in my vocabulary...

I'm driving 9 hours just to attend the Bowsite social and cause whatever damage can be done on Friday night.

Anyone know where the actual seminar schedule is? I saw a list on the P&Y website, but no dates/times. I'll be in town working all that week but would like to fit in some of these seminars.

Yea, Lou... that saying is too witty for Palmquist to come up with. :)

Where is this party being thrown next year.
From: loesshillsarcher

I am a bit worried that I have been portrayed as a drunk. I, however, am not. I got a little carried away this particular evening. People that know me know that I am not. A person doesn't have to drink to attend P and Y. I enjoy conversing with people that have similar interests(bowhunting). The convention time flies by very fast when surrounded with the bowhunting "community".
From: Franzen

lewis, the next convention will be in two years. I don't know where, but I'm sure if you get a hold of the right person, they could let you in on the "secret".

Sorry to say this is not in the budget this year. I'm thinking we need a blue collar PnY event where the only fees are for your camp site and a Solo cup ;)

Zim, it is on the last page of the convention Flyer. I have tried to attach but doubt I did it right:)

Ned, We all know you are NOT a drunk! Drunks do not accomplish what you have in you're personal life, in your career, and in your bow hunting. We all enjoy the fact that, at times, you can be "colorful". Will you still converse with me at the convention? :)
From: Zim1
30-Mar-17
Thanks Matt, that opened just fine. Not sure why I couldn't find that on my own. Looking forward to this event. I'll be staying all four nights at the Union Station Hotel. What was the final verdict on the Bowsite meet/greet? I'd like to do that too.

Matt...You did it right, but how about the inaccuracies on those bios! First off, Lincoln Tapp does not yet have his NA29 (I do believe he is going to be the youngest to accomplish this feat, but I don't thin he's there yet) and secondly Chuck Adams is not the only one with 5 deer slams. (Our very own Zackman has 5 deer slams). Stop the presses!!!!

That's what I was thinking Jim. A lot on here use the, "drinking time" as a way to start conversations as the biennial event draws closer, including myself. Sure we all like to relax and have a good time. For myself and others, it's all about being around like minded folks and enjoying stories, meeting new friends and if a good time happens, well.... That's my take. Oh, it doesn't hurt that the Cubs are in town. ;)
From: Jimmysharpstick

Ned, I understand why you were concerned. I had the same thoughts-I portrayed myself as drinking anywhere from driveways to conventions and I am not a drunk either. Just ask MY friends!
From: loesshillsarcher
30-Mar-17
No worries. Can't wait to see everyone again. I will talk with anybody. lol I really look forward to seeing all my buddies and making new ones. And I will probably have a couple toddies. So who knows what will transpire. Gonna miss the Cubs unfortunately. dangit

With a nickname like "Two Beer Greer" Ned can't be much of a drunk.
