    It has been announced by Troy Hudson, that there will be no cell phones, video or audio recording devices allowing in the conference hall.

I do feel that this will decimate the number of attendees, being unable to take pictures or record anything.

    Statements from Troy Hudson today, have been to the effect that off duty Oklahoma Law Enforcement will be stationed at the doors. This is way overboard, plus the fact that Sharonlee is giving VIP press treatment.

I'm stating now to the public, I will not attend this conference. It has bottomed out now. The MABRC built that conference up, and I will not be subjected to armed guards at the door because someone thinks he's supercop.

What's he so concerned about and what's the price tag to attend this conference Darkwing?


I'm not sure what he is so concerned about, and so far, they haven't announced a price tag, there hasn't been much in the way of advertisement this year.


"Bog wrote:
read something on facebook regarding TBIG working with law enforcement offices a lot since Troy works in the same field."


Troy was a security guard for the VA Hospital in Texas, he was since fired from there for indiscretions. His working with law enforcement is debatable.

The irony is one of the MABRC founders initiated basically the same threats against potential attendees at last years' (2009) Honobia BF Conference.

Again got two-faced ?

NOTICE

Just got off the phone with Ms. Vera Nelson of the Talihina Chamber of Commerce regarding the 2010 Honobia BF Festival website link...which isn't working at present.  She was aware of it and said the IT people were working on the situation and expects the link to be back up and running shortly.  I told her we would keep it up on the top post in this thread.

Also, I visited with her about the fundraising scheme implemented by MABRC principals (see above post) and the money being raised (the Wall of Fame on the MABRC website showing who and how much $$'s has apparently been hidden/deleted) on behalf of the Talihina COC to help underwrite expenses for the 2009 Honobia BF Festival.

I asked her 3X and she repeated (each time) that to the best of her knowledge the Talihina COC did not receive a single dime from any MABRC principals for the festival expenses.  

Uh-oh!  

ETA: spelling correction

" The donations go to the Talihina Chamber of Commerce, which is a non-profit organization, and yes it goes to DW's paypal account because he is the Conference Chairman and is responsible for rasiing the money, it is posted on the forum and website if you look closer. "

" Well the Talihina Chamber of Commerce is giving the receipts for the donations, because I got mine Tuesday for donating to the Honobia Bigfoot Conference  "


source; http://www.bigfootforums.com/index.php?showtopic=25650



The possible quandry created here is;

1. IF (granted, it's a big one) Todtkaufman is actually a bonafide third party and his "contribution" was not paid to the party (Talihina CoC) as apparently so designated...what legal situation(s) possibly comes to mind?

2.  IF Todtkaufman is actually a sockpuppet creation of one or more persons and the above quoted publications are in fact those of said persons...what legal situation(s) possibly come to mind?

3. Does todtkaufman actually have a receipt from the Talihina CoC?  Ms. Nelson communicated to me that she gave out only one such receipt and that was to a company that donated binders for the printed material.

Is this train now pulling into the station?

ETA: Item #3

Follow up...

Spoke with Ms. Nelson this afternoon regarding a request she had made of me and during our visit it was communicated to me that (allegedly) the MABRC leadership was upset with the Talihina CoC (post-festival) for declining their demand for a share of the gate receipts even though no mention was (allegedly) made of it prior to the Honobia BF Festival nor was any agreement to such an arrangement ever executed before/after the event.

This may possibly go a long way in explaining MABRC's departure from the event?

[#59]

Ms. Nelson has asked that if anyone has copies, screen shots, etc. of the Wall of Fame that was posted on the MABRC website showing who and how much $$'s had been pledged/paid to help underwrite the 2009 Honobia BF Festival to please forward this information directly to her at the Talihina CoC's website email addy via: http://www.talihinacc.com/ and the direct email link is: http://www.talihinacc.com/contact .

However, feel free to post it up on this website/forum/thread as we have nothing to hide.

It's looking more and more like DW & DO are going to have to pony up all of the $$'s they raised for the 2009 conference in the form of a check to the Talihina CoC.

I reckon they could sell the 4-wheeler ATV that was purchased just prior to the 2009 event?

BTW, I hear this year's conference will be a scam free event.
