And I could of taken you to my local night hang out. I have a couple of bartenders that give me the hook up. 5 clubs in one, you would've had a blast, not to mention meet some good looking hispanic women!!!!!

This actually sounds like it is worth the two strip searches...

Is Erik the only one that wants to go?

Is there any other military memeber other than Matt)airbornematt) coming down to this?

Sounds like Polly Esthers on the Riverwalk. I'll have to check with SWMBO and see if we can make the trek from Midland.

Went today and was really impressed. Huge selection of kits from practically everywhere. Kings from Austin had a table right up front. I bought some Mr. Surfacer for about $4.50, and a micro chisel. A guy a few tables away was selling everything at "make offer" prices. I got a whole pile of Vallejo acrylics for $1.50 each. The Tuskeegee Airmen and various confirmed aces were on hand to sign autographs. Very nice show overall and the models on display were quite nice. I cant wait to see who wins best of show. There was a 1/700 Lexington that was just astounding. As for aircraft, I saw a 1/25(?) A-10 that looked like you could start it up and fly it. Fantastic work.
