Month: May 2013

Had a wonderful evening with 25-30 people, some I knew, some I’d met, some new to me.  Back in the hotel and ready for my last night in Houston.  I tried to extend my stay one more day, but apparently there’s a Big Oil thing going on next week.  I was told that the hotel was completely booked for Sunday, but even if there was a cancellation, the room rate would be $400 that night, so I’m outta here.  I’ll decide tomorrow whether I want to stop in El Paso (about 10 hours) or drive on through to Tucson (another five hours).  At any rate, the plan is to hit the road early, and it’s 11:47 10:47PM CDT as I type this.

G’night, y’all.  I had a great time this weekend.  No blogging tomorrow, most probably.

He’s famous in the RKBA world:

Ran into him on the sidewalk outside the GRB Convention Center. Very pleasant gentleman. Very happy to say that I have finally met him.  I wish I’d remembered he’d been in a helicopter crash in January.  I’d have asked him how he felt about whacking feral hogs from the air.

Now it’s time to get ready for dinner with the Cool Kids.

Got out of class at 11:30, got to the GRB Convention center by about 12:30, drove around for half an hour trying to find a parking lot closer than half a mile away and failed.  Finally got to the media room a few minutes ago and got my credentials.  Now I’m sitting at a table in the media room with Nancy R., Jay G., and Ambulance Driver.

Had dinner last night with those three and:

Cool!!  Time to hit the convention floor.  Looking forward to the rest of the weekend.
