King's X Report post Posted August 1, 2010 I am going as usual and I believe that Allen (Big Papa Leather) will accompany me again. I have put out a ride invitation for Clay, but not sure what his plans are. There is another guild memeber that will be going as well. Hope to see you there! It should be too hard to miss us.......we'll be dressed in our usual 'Urban Cowboy' attire........................shorts and a t-shirt~ stop and say hello....see you there.

gtwister09 Report post Posted August 1, 2010 Denise, Well I guess that I will have to make it this year since you two are heading south of the border. Regards, Ben Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alb Report post Posted August 1, 2010 Well I'm not ruling it out totally yet. I have never been and really want to go but I'm going to OKC for a class in September and I'm not sure I can swing both trips. If I do decide to go, I would love to meet you. Did you ever develop your saddle tree workshop? Ann Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rod and Denise Nikkel Report post Posted August 2, 2010 Looking forward to meeting lots of people we haven't met before. We should be easy to find as we will be having a booth there. Any suggestions on good hotels to stay at or other information about the show? Ann, No, we haven't been able to work out the tree seminar idea yet, though it still is on our "we'd like to do this sometime" list. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cobra Steve Report post Posted August 2, 2010 Hey all, I will be there as well, please come and visit with me. Thanks, Steve Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted August 2, 2010 We stay at the Holiday Inn across the highway from the convention center? Some or most of the vendors stay at the holiday within walking distance from the center. I cannot remember the name off hand, but I am sure a couple of vendor here will speak up......if not, I can look it up and will know when I see the name. Since you are coming from north of our border. If you need anything or information that I can supply you here in Texas.....Just drop me an email and consider it done! Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Aggiebraider Report post Posted August 10, 2010 Im planning on going and hopefully will bring a few friends with me....not sure if we will stay for both days or just make the trip for one. Id really like to get together and meet with as many of the forums members as possible. Maybe we can try and plan to get dinner together one night CW Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King's X Report post Posted August 10, 2010 That's it! Howard Johnsons. I heard just one complaint from a vendor last year about that hotel. Most if not all vendors and participants will probably stay there. My hotel you would not like. It is 3-4 blocks from the center and very, very quiet! Just the way I like it. It has a bar, restaurant and other amenities. Last year we were entertained at the bar......we were able to get together with a few other philanders of leather. We shared some stories and tricks! I hope to see as many of you forum brothers and sisters there! Just look for the 'Urban Cowboys' (in shorts and t-shirts).....we won't be hard to find in the sea of wranglers, boots and hats! Trust me.....Rawhide pick me out from one row over! Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Report post Posted September 25, 2011 Hi Smokin', You are replying to a thread from last year, however, it will do just as well this year. I'll be there in and around the Cobra Booth. Drop by and see Steve's new shoe finisher, it is really a piece of work and not that expensive. Steve will also have a surprise that will drop a few jaws. Artisan will not be there, you can pretty much stick a fork in them. anyone else that's going chime in; maybe we can meet up for dinner at the Golden Coral or another place. Art I'll be there and can't wait to meet some people. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Hey all, yes I will be there with (as Art says), a big surprise. I will be right in front where Artisan used to be. By the way, has anyone seen any Artisan banner ads lately?

OrchidNoir Report post Posted September 25, 2011 (edited) Me and mine plan on making it up and over there. Figure it's just a couple of hours away and should be able to help me get back into this rabbit hole even further. (don't look for purple, the hair is currently just brown. lol) Edited September 25, 2011 by OrchidNoir Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
