The Houston Gem and Mineral Society Show is Sept. 21-23.
Anybody going?
Last year, a few of us met up at the show and had a good time. Afterward, Blarney, Pho and I drove up to Lake Livingston to pick up about 100 lbs of pet wood and jaspers.
Whose up for it this year?

Guess I better not go. The president of HGMS and I got into it a while back. Some how he took my sarcastic remarks as an insult and said that I would quote " Pay for those remarks"
Sheesh, I'm afraid to show my face in Houston. The guy may know some goons down there.
How do I get myself in these messes? ;D
I would however dearly love to pick the brain of Scott Singleton.

Well, hell, Curt, now I really want you to come down.
Dan, sounds good. Let's see who else we can get out there.

Scott's a good man. I used to do the show years ago, and might look into doing the show again. It was usually a good one.

I definitely plan to be there. Friday morning for me, back again Friday afternoon for my 5-yr-old!
I'd love to meet some RTHers in person!

What about trying to set up the coffee chat session during the Gem show? Be a good time as any and if a bunch of us are going to be at the Gem Show,,,,we can meet up and have a good 'ol BS session over some coffee.
Suggestions? Ideas?

Sounds good to me. I'm local, so I'm probably more flexible than most.
Day, time?

While not near - by a little ways at least - I'm thinking of heading that way for the show. I was planning on taking a couple days off during September anyway, so that Friday would work out nicely. I see what I can swing.

Thanks,

Bummer, Curt. Sorry you won't be there.
I'll be there. Any tips for a first-timer and new rockhound, everyone?

Hey folks,
There is a free ticket to the show just awaiting someone to claim it. The ticket is courtesy of the generosity of Sandy (Pagstones), who is a Houston Gem and Mineral Society member. She will not be able to meet us at the show Friday, unfortunately. But I believe the ticket is good for the entire weekend.
So, anybody want a ticket? First one to post a reply here gets it.
