A very big thumbs-up on the quality of food, the quantity of food, and the service from the PSC "workday"! This is a family-owned restaurant that has, if I remember correctly, three locations. And either I was much hungrier than usual (hard to imagine), or the food was extremely good.
The Bun Stuffers are great but, especially if this lowers the cost, I don't think you'll hear anything but applause, Charles. Good call!
SlowDave, this has been going on annually--well, except for 2008 and Hurricane Ike--for a while, and it gets better every year. Once reservations begin to be accepted, many of the classes, seminars, and mini-clinics will fill up quickly. Folks regularly travel from Dallas, the Hill Country, and some even from West Texas and the Panhandle to attend. It's like a full day (and maybe even a seminar and get-together the evening before) of professional training combined with a shooting carnival combined with a meet-and-greet of old and new friends. I don't know of anything like it anywhere. There are reasonably-priced hotels and motels in the area, making an overnighter very practical.
On a different matter, I have to point to myself and offer a big, public laugh. I posted previously about statistical rain/wind probabilities comparing September and April in south Houston. My stats showed April was the better month to plan an event.
So right after the TexasCHLforum Day at PSC was literally blown away last September by Hurricane Ike, the very next April goes on record as the wettest April
ever based on rainfall at Hobby Airport. So wet, in fact, that just three of April's rainy days made up the Harris/Galveston/Brazoria drought deficit for the entire year.
So if I ever provide weather advice again, be very suspicious.
And I will not utter the words "swine flu" lest I jinx next October...
We're countin' the days to the blessed event!
