Vanessa and I went to the show and the after party.

The show was about what I had expected. Mostly travel to a variety of places, but there were also a few shops, a artist that I hadn't seen before but really liked his work, and a couple mfrs. Met renegade diver from Whites, it was good to meet you Justin and saw a number of other diver friends.

We got to the after party and Jason (JSMARTdiver) was already there working on his first beer. TruckDiver (Kevin) showed up shortly after we did and TXHockeyguy (David) showed up. The five of us chatted until Chucksal and Donna, John and Gena (Richerso and Brokenfinstrap) and Guba and Island Frog (Bill and Brad) all showed up pretty close together. Pictures were taken, I don't have any, but I'm sure someone else will post. It was good to see/meet everyone. We kept a good hold on the room for a couple hours but it quickly filled as we left.

I enjoyed the dive show and hope it can grow and continue. The after party was great fun too. It was great having a room that everyone could sit in and lounge and talk to everyone as opposed to a restaurant were you can only talk to small handful of people at your end of the table.

Thanks for comming everyone and we missed those who couldn't.

Gena and I had a blast!

I send a big THANK YOU! ! ! out to my scuba diving family! I love you guys and gals!
 
Absolutely! It was GREAT fun to get to see some of the other members of our TSD "family". Now all we have to do is have some more of these little get togethers where we can get some DIVES in! Looking forward to it! Much obliged to all who came. For those who wanted to but couldn't make it, I look forward to seeing ya'll next time. Great fun!

It was so awesome to meet everyone and finally put some faces with screen names. I uploaded pix to flickr. Feel free to download if you want: Texas Dive Show - a set on Flickr
 
This was my second show and I got my moneys worth (Ihad gotten the free tickets). The look at new destinations is always fun but the after show party was great... It is always a blast to get together and meet new people and see old friends...

But can someone please make it 85 outside so we can dive????

Charlie and Donna
 
Sorry for the delay, but here are the much awaited pictures spoken about. Had a great time meeting everyone. See you round the Swamps!!

Looks like fun....sorry I didn't make it out. I went to the dive show and then decided to kill a few hours walking around the mall before the get together.

Big mistake.

I've been dealing with a herniated disk the last few months, and walking around the mall for an hour aggravated it so much, it was all I could do just to get back to my Jeep and make it home.

I had my first spinal injection Tuesday, and it's made a ton of difference....I'll get one or two more so I can be ready for the dive season starting up in April.

Maybe next time......
 
OK,
I hate to dig up an old thread. I don't normally do this; but here goes:

I have a question. Does anybody remember the details (shop / island) for that guy that was giving away the free bottles of rum?
 
John, I will buy you a drink if you're down on your luck...if only to hear your sordid tale.
 
Thanks King! But I still need the real answer to my question.
