Hey! I went to the show John. I didn't get there till around 2:00pm though. I met Mike Navolio, he's a nice guy. Showed me around the plants, and I talked to him for a bit. I got two cacti; Cleistocactus Strausii Monstrose, and Echinocereus viridiflourus var. canus. I bought them from Joyce Hochtritt, she's very nice.

I might go on the field trip tomorrow.

I'm glad you were able to make it! I love the Echinocereus you got. I have one and was looking at getting that one at the show, but decided against it. Good Choice! 8) Curious if you went on the field trips. The one in the woodlands had an amazing collection. Well, they all did, but that one just blew me away!
