Paul Vella has been a friend of mine for many years, and has been running the CFZ BHM Study Group since 2004. I have been pestering him to become part of the bloggo team for months, and it is great that he has finally succumbed to my blandishments....The Texas Bigfoot Research Conservancy (TBRC) are holding their annual conference on September 26th 2009, this time in Tyler Texas.
A few hours ago they published this year's line up, and what a line up it is.

I attended the TBRC conference in 2007 and had a terrific time - I intend to go to this year's conference too.
My only criticsm of the 2007 event was that I felt it could have been a two day event - they pack a a lot into one day. If you can get to Texas, you should.
