Tried to go today. Tried.
Traffic was absolute gridlock. Spent over half an hour trying to go from one light to the next. It was incomprehensible.
Tried coming at it from different angles but the traffic was obscene in all directions. Seriously, I'm talking two and three cars trying to fit in one lane.
And, lots and lots and lots of those cars were low-rider customized rigs, with the drivers and passengers hopping between cars and doing total burnouts while we were stuck. It was dangerous - we were literally bumper to bumper, three across, packed in like sardines, and guys were standing on the gas pedal to smoke their tires and others were standing next to them in the lanes to take video of it.
And this was a good mile away from the convention center; no telling what it would be like up close, so I bailed.
Turns out some scheduling genius at the convention center scheduled both the high caliber gun show and the lone star throw down for the same weekend at the same facility.
If you were planning on going I'd say don't bother, unless we get some members here with updated reports on whether they could get in.
