buzzbee · « **Reply #3 on:** January 19, 2012, 07:45:44 am »

Bud has always had an open guest list for anyone wanting to attend.Geoff from down under attended 2011!!

ShaneJ · « **Reply #4 on:** January 19, 2012, 08:39:01 am »

Myself and my partner would like to attend as we enjoyed JP's videos from last year. However with the building of my business we may have to wait till next year.

Robo · « **Reply #5 on:** January 19, 2012, 09:07:57 am »

Think it is time for me to make one of these, so I'm really considering it this year. Hopefully I can connect up with some folks to travel with.

Yup, i am planning on going this year also, couldn't make it last year, always nice to see everyone

Geoff · « **Reply #16 on:** January 20, 2012, 03:53:34 pm »

ShaneJ, go for it. The chance of a lifetime to enjoy the company and knowledge of some of the nicest people on this planet. Book now with Virgin Australia to get return tickets to Los Angeles for the last week in March returning end of April for under $1100.00. I will not be there this year physically but will be in spirit and via Ventrilo as I have to still have to do a bit of squaring up for my trip last year.
Just a word of warning, dont turn up unannounced in a little Japanese shitcan car as you will be treated with suspicion until you reveal your credentials (any 250 or 350 pickup with some beekeeping gear in the back gives automatic entry).
Your fellow banana bender Lone should be going as well, Bud would really love to meet her and get to hear her music.

bud1 · « **Reply #17 on:** January 20, 2012, 08:07:29 pm »

geoff, we need you here there will still be rocks to chunk when you get back. steve, ted, kathy and scott its shore gona be good to see youall again. done told jp he is in chare of getting things ready this yr.
shanej. everyone is invited. mr john has the last say so on everything and am sure he will make everything official when he gets the chance.

Kathyp · « **Reply #18 on:** January 20, 2012, 09:04:51 pm »

bud1 · « **Reply #21 on:** January 21, 2012, 07:26:17 pm »

JP · « **Reply #22 on:** January 21, 2012, 09:08:54 pm »

Bud4 coming upon us already! Time sure flies when you gettin' old! :-D Try and make it if you can as you can see by the past videos posted we always have a good time eatin' and fishin' and playing with bees, with a little (okay maybe a lot!) of BSing thrown in for good measure!

Plan to bee there folks!

...JP

But sadly I won't be the fishing guide this year as I have to handle all the logistics of the get together at Bud 4 :'( :'(

schawee · « **Reply #23 on:** January 21, 2012, 10:50:04 pm »

Yes I'll be there. Bud I saw enough of that senic route last year. I think I will just drive right to your house.

Kathyp · « **Reply #24 on:** January 21, 2012, 10:56:35 pm »

buzzbee · « **Reply #26 on:** January 22, 2012, 08:49:52 am »

Bud, Mikel cut his hair! AND shaved his goatee. He's looking all bona-fide now!

I hope we can make it!! Will the cabin / guest lodge be available? We were thinking of bringing the tent and pitching it over there this time.

Oh! I'm so excited!!

Keeping fingers crossed for this year....

Where has John been anyways? Havent saw him on here in a while. Hope he didnt get his shoe lace caught up in a plane launcher.

oh no! we won't get to make fun of the hippie boy anymore?

K9, i was wondering the same. i sent him a PM a week or so ago and got no response. hope all is well.

lenape13 · « **Reply #36 on:** January 23, 2012, 02:07:09 pm »

Pam and I would like to come, but it's too far for me to ride in a car, and there's no way you will EVER get me on a plane. (I'd never make it to the plane anyway, 'cause I'd no doubt have to throw a few TSA agents across the terminal along the way....) I'll play it safe and wait for the videos.

Kathyp · « **Reply #37 on:** January 23, 2012, 02:45:16 pm »

how about a train ride?

tbeenie · « **Reply #38 on:** January 23, 2012, 05:35:37 pm »

Well if I can make it I hope I don't take the scenic route.
But no telling what might happen, I have no sense of direction.
Y'all may end up making jokes about me instead of Shawee.

bud1 · « **Reply #39 on:** January 23, 2012, 07:37:05 pm »

rgy post 26 on this thread by buzzbee out from Macon, Ms. naww ziff i liked him as a hippie, get him a wig and we can just glue some leaves on his chin no on the cabin but you can chunk a tent anywhere

Well, if I can't manage a 13-hour car ride, I think a 33-hour train ride is definitely out of the question. My legs and feet would swell so much that they would probably explode. It's all I can do to drive to my hives in Gettysburg. It's only 3 hours and I have to stop at least once along the way. Once I arrive, I have to walk around for about an hour to get everything flowing like it should. Life sucks sometimes, but you have to play the hand you're dealt.

You can walk around on a train. Larry
