Somebody told me that there is a "Big" gun show right after the rodeo in the Astrohall....but I checked gunshowsusa.com and there doesn't seem to be anything in Houston or even Pasadena or Conroe for quite a while.
I know said website misses a few gunshows sometimes, so is there indeed one coming up?

There is a High Caliber show at Pasadena the last weekend of this month, March 29-30.

There is another on Apr 27-28 at Pasadena and a George R Brown show on May 3-4.

The next HCGA show at Reliant is on May 17-18.

Doug, not only is there not a show in the Astrohall, there is no Astrohall!

There is different type of show coming up Apr 18-20. The Texas Gun Collectors Assoc is having a show at the J.W. Marriott Hotel, 2 blks W of 610 Beltway. I suspect few, if any, commercial dealers and lots of high priced collectibles.

Apr 27-28, in addition to the Pasadena show there is a show in Bryan. Brazos Cty, Expo Complex, 5827 Leonard Rd.

I know, I think it's called the Reliant Hall or Reliant center or something corporation brand related. But I still call it the Astrohall, just like a lot of people still call the used to be Compaq Center, now I think Lakewood Church...Touchy feely center (or whatever), the Summit.


Thank you,

All of those you listed I don't think ANY of them are on Gunshow USA.com The Pasadena one on the 29th notice just dropped into my E Mail box.
What is up with GUnshow USA, there are shows in Texas and Louisiana not even listed on it.

I'm probably more obstinate than you about calling things by the 'old' name. HL&P will always be the light company, I still sometimes refer to Humble rather than Exxon, Gulf instead of Chevron. I still refer to the commotion going on right now as the Fatstock Show.

Recently they stopped including High Caliber gunshows on their list, no idea why.

I hesitate to ask what you call that football team in Nashville...

...or the baseball park in downtown Houston. ;-)

Houston Oilers, of course!

Is there an 'old' name for the ballpark?

I do recall going to see the Houston Colt 45's play at Colt Stadium.
