Well......I never got your invite to come down. I only show up on a chick's doorstep when invited.......OK, there was that time after several beers! :lmao:

Tom

:P Ok.. Your forgiven. I am sure we can find someway to blame this on Dusty....



Oh Lord...thank goodness he has BIG shoulders! :teeth:

Love that about Dusty... He puts up with so much crap from me.
(good thing he knows I really like him) :teeth:


Somehow, I missed out on all this chatter at my expense! :o

Never know what to expect about the 'current employment' situation, but I would certainly like to catch up with everyone at some point. :D

Got you on the official "Maybe" list! :teeth: Hope you can make it!
As for me, I'm feeling pretty scubalicious.

Wenchie, Punkie and the Houston Crowd.


Do you all still need help with the show? I can attend but it wouldnt show up until Saturday morning(9ish) and then have to leave on like a 7pm flight on sunday. Reason is that i work the friday before the show and the following monday


If so which airport would be best to fly into(HOU based off the show website) and would someone be able to pick me up from the airport and return me?

Tooth that sounds like an awful lot of work and rushing around for you, looks like we have quite a bit of help. WW really needs the help at the PNW show or some of the others where there are fewer volunteers.

Although, we would love to have you join us, and I would be able to arrange the transport to and from the airport for you. If you decide to come down, either Intercontinental or Hobby airport would be ok, which ever you can get the best price. Southwest flys out of Hobby.

Important Update:

First off let me thank you all for your help! This is one of our biggest shows and we've found sooooooooo many new members from this event! :cool1:

I just can't thank you enough for helping us with the booth, or the show (which gets us a reduced rate so we can afford to be there!)

Not sure where our booth will be this year...hoping for a great spot but won't know for awhile yet. Also we will be setting up a special forum for the volunteers to get organized. We'll get this done this week.

:respect: all again for all your help! kamala

It will be on Saturday right after the show dive show closes. The dive show hasn't listed the schedule yet, so I don't know what time they will shut down. I'm thinking probably around 5:00 pm. The location has not been decided yet. Got any suggestions? Possibly the bar at the Holiday Inn at Reliant Center.

Show should close at 6pm on Sat and the hotel bar will be packed with vendors and show participants. However there are not many choices around the convention center but I think a couple of years ago we found something on the access road as you approached the convention center. I need some help from our Texas crowd beyond this for suggestions!

Would anyone be up to go to Wild West? It is a country & western nightclub in Richmond Ave near the Galleria, it is the same club where I worked as a DJ up until a year ago and I still have contacts there. It does not open on Saturdays until 7:00 though and there is a $6 cover. Anway, it is about 15 minutes from Reliant Center, I can talk to them on Friday (1/9).

Here are a couple of links.
Wild West Houston
Wild West on MySpace

As for closer to Reliant Center, there are a lot of restaurants along the feeder between Buffalo Speedway and Kirby just to the southwest. I do know for sure that there is a Joe's Crab Shack, Pappadeau's, and Papasitos.

I thought I would mention that there will be several events going on at Reliant Park that weekend including a motocross thrill show at Reliant Stadium, an auto show in another part of Reliant Center, and a Dave Ramsey show over at Reliant Arena. The place will be full the entire weekend.
