Good luck, I've not found the high caliber shows to be worth the price of admission, the drive there, and the hassle of parking unless I'm really bored. I've not been to one at NRG, but used to try my luck at the GRB ones and finally gave up. I'd like to hear about your experience at NRG.
Planning on going. The wife wants to look at a few weapons plus I don't have anything planned this weekend. The HGCA show Sept 24-25 is pretty cool.
Whatever happened to the Saxet shows?
saxet shows are still going strong...http://saxetshows.com/schedule

Sucked.
$12.00 to park. $9.00 entry.
Small.
walked thru the entire show in 30 minutes.
About 1/3 of the show isn't guns.
Go to range today Instead.
Not worth it to go to a show there unless it's a big HGCA show.
Even then, unless you're local and it's a short drive, it isn't worth it...
For me, it's about a 20 - 30 minute drive. But yeah, getting raped for parking means that it has to be a big show to make it worth the pain. IIRC, it's $10 to park at the HGCA shows. Might even be more. So you're $20 out of pocket when you just walk in the door. So unless it's a big show, I just go to the Pasadena shows. Free parking and it's fairly close. If the weather is nice, it's a nice drive to drop the car top on the way to and from.
Just curious, does the NRG Arena offer free parking for Disabled Veteran-licensed vehicles? For us it's a 221-mile trip each way, so even with a car that gets 35 MPG it is still $25 just in gas. $10 per person to get in (kids 12-17 are $5), and it's easily fifty bucks just in logistics. Given that it is a large show, that might make it worth the time and trouble (and cost); but the last time we went it just didn't seem to offer any decent deals, so we'll stick to ones closer to home...
I knew they were around still. I should have been more clear. I'm wondering why they pulled out of Houston?. Seems like before I moved away, they were always having a show in Houston.
