Guys, I'm an SCI member but would prefer to make my first big convention the DSC affair, as I can combine it with a visit to my daughter, a sophomore at Baylor. How is the coming convention shaping up? I recall comments last winter about the venue, and the usual DSC vs. SCI stuff. I don't have a whole lot invested in this, as I cannot afford another African hunt for the foreseeable future. But a big piece of my heart is in Texas, land of my ancestors. I think the $100 package of a year's DSC membership and a four-day pass to the convention is a good deal. I'd also like to meet some of the various Bubbas, DRSS members, Camp Cooley hunters and others whose posts have been so entertaining here on AR over the years. Why hell, I might even get a chance to meet Ray A. and talk .25-35s.

Went down to the Convention Center yesterday to look at the layout and plan for the DSC Firstlight Move In/Out. The Convention center will have all 1000+ exhibitors in one huge room instead of 2 rooms and a tent like at Market Hall. More dock space and bigger doors for easier set up and tear down. Once the exhibitors get the downtown layout figured out they will love the new venue.

Bill-My youngest, a girl, just graduated from Baylor this month. That's the end of putting four kids through private schools here in Texas, so, I just might be able to book a hunt at the DSC convention this year! (This last one looked at, got accepted at, and thought about A&M, but oh no, couldn't give Dad a state tuition break; that just wouldn't be right!) Anyway, I think you'll like the convention. 'Look forward to seeing you. By the way, I've got an 1894 in .25-35.

Bill

Most of the DRSS stays at the Comfort INN.

214 461 2677.

On Sat we have a get together in there, and it is nice just to be able to walk to your room.

Room price is $99.00 a night. We have stayed there several years.

"My Son/Daughter and my money both go to _______(fill in the blank) University! Sounds like you guys need a couple

Bill we'd love to have you back in Texas for the DSC convention! Unless you just want it the Membership is not a must to attend the convention. Tickets are available at the door, about $20. There will be tons of AR, and DRSS members there, just look around for the caps, and shirts with the AR emblem displayed. Most of the DRSS members will be found at the Champlin's booth, or the Heym booth, and anyone else who has double rifles on display, or for sale.
..............Come on Down, we'll hold a seat for you! clap
