</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Friday at the show was a pretty slow day for everyone it seems, though surprisingly sales for me did pick up later in the day.&nbsp; I’ve talked to a few dealers and everyone was very disappointed that there was no auction here, and they felt that probably helped curtail attendance at this show.&nbsp; When a show is slow, it does allow me the opportunity to shop around and buy a few nice pieces for inventory, including a beautiful 1872 Indian in PCGS MS65 RB and a pretty toned 1910-S Lincoln PCGS MS65 BN.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Here are a couple tireless people who work hard to put this show on – Patty Fenner and Carl Schwenker </p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01166.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I also walked around and viewed the exhibits – they had quite a diverse selection of exhibits that you could tell people put a lot of time and effort into creating.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01162.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01161.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01165.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01164.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So after the show on Friday a group of us walked up a few blocks to Three Forks for dinner – wow!&nbsp; Now that is one amazing steakhouse, with superb service and wonderful food!!&nbsp; And they had a stunning selection of wine!&nbsp; We ended up having three bottles of this wonderful Napa Starmont Cab (we had a large group of people who also love wine)!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01167.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01170.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01173.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01169.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01168.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After we rolled ourselves out of the restaurant, a few of us went to a small club outside of Houston called The Spot Club to listen to a local band.&nbsp; You can’t beat the atmosphere in a locals bar!&nbsp; The band was really good, and we even played a few games of pool.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01184.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01185.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01181.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/10042453042407_ORIG.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/42453042415_ORIG.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/IMG-20111202-01177.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111202-01176.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On my walk over to the show this morning, I spotted this cute tiny little fog hopping on the sidewalk so of course I just had to take its picture!</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/Houston-20111203-01191.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Saturday has been pretty slow again, though there were quite a few scouts running around.&nbsp; I saw a couple forum members today, but they didn’t want their photos taken.&nbsp; It’s afternoon now and several dealers have left or are packing up, including me in a couple hours.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
