Denis; glad you woke up.  Darn, didn't know you had all that Texas history in 
you.  If your ancestors did all that, and no more anglos than were in Texas at 
that time, just think, you and I may even be related.  Perish the thought.

And on the 4th of July there is Psycoblooie. It’s not a show. And it’s not in 
Texas. And it doesn’t matter what you drive to get there. But it is on a cliff 
and we blow up stuff real good..
 
We have more campouts than shows. Transporters at the Point, Dripping Springs, 
Bulli Gras, help me out here, people.
 
And there is a good chance (this from the Lady at the Washington-on-the-Brazos 
Museum) that my Great Great Whatever designed the first Texas Flag (Ruth 
Dodson) and her husband (my other Great Whatever) was the leader of The Runaway 
Scrape, so he wasn’t at San Jacinto. Take that, Sammie. See what happens when 
you wake me up.

Well, unfortunately the show scene in Texas is not like CA.  However, the taxes 
are much lower, the people much nicer, and real estate doesn't cost an arm and 
a leg like CA and Las Vegas.  And we do have a lot of VW activity, just a bit 
more spread out.

 

In San Antonio you have a great VW club in VOSA, and some neat bus people such 
Alan Riggs and Peter Albarian.  

 

As to the Nacogdoches show:  Neat club show in a park on grass in the Azalea 
capital of Texas at that time of year.  If you like to see lots of blooms from 
Azaleas and Dogwoods it is the place to be in late March very early April.  
Attendance can be anywhere from 50 to 90 vehicles entered in the show and you 
have a special invite from the East Texas VEE-DUB club to bring your bus and 
come enjoy the show. The only real downer is that we are about a 6-hour drive 
from San Antonio.

 

And then of course there is the Texas Classic coming up in mid-April in 
Fredericksburg which will have over 300 cars and tons of people and rivals any 
VW event you will find in CA,  It's a different venue than say the Cal Classic 
or the Bug-In, but it is better and I have  been to all of them.  And it's not 
far from San Antonio.

 

And last but not least:  Welcome to Texas from a 5th generation Texan whose 
great-great grandfather fought for Texas independence.  And did I mention that 
today is Texas Independence Day!  MARCH 2, 1836!
