If you know a show has been cancelled, please post up or drop us a line so we can remove it from the schedule and save someone a long drive. If you're wondering what shows are listed, our box runs from Abilene to Bossier City, LA, and from the Red River to Waco. We also include the biannual Tulsa show, as well as SHOT. We are now tracking shows up to 2 hours south of the Fort Worth area. We are blessed in north Texas w/ active Promoters, so happily we have very few open weekends.

The Sinister and I made up 3 Mk8 kits, so I'll be there tomorrow wandering around. Will bring him Sunday morning and we'll go to lunch.

Anyone want to meet at King Tut in Ft Worth, maybe around noon or so and then head to the show? |

We'll do that. King Tut @ noon.

I might try the show again tomorrow. I thought that I was pretty much over my bug, but I pulled into the parking garage and I felt the rumble in my stomach and knew I had to head home...fast!

Yeah, not much to be gained by hawking gun stock kits @ a show when there's nobody there, then spinning out on ice on the way home.
ETA: Looking @ https://drivetexas.org/#/13/32.7384/-97.3417?future=false&resources=traffic, most of the highways leading to the show are icy. Looks like I might could make it on surface streets, but probably not gonna chance it. |
