Event Coverage My trip to the LSR show in Austin Texas

My Kansas neighbor Jay Sweet (nosurf) was there in a booth shared with Mike Nicholas (barn find t) who were promoting their respective events and merchandise. Well known hot rod trucker Ben D and his son are also shown in this photo.

 

Nice to met you! Dang, I missed the fried pies..............

 

Kansas beauty Heather Garst stopped by along with her husband PJ to visit at Camp PF and like me it was their first time at this fun event and plan to come back.

 

you too...good talking to you

 

I went looking for my idol BobK and found him near his car enjoying the warm Texas weather.

 

Hey Paul, as I said yesterday it is always fun to read your adventures. Nothing better than fried pies unless it is one served with a smile. Take care.
Later,
Dick

 

This group photo shows me with Jess from Nebraska, Tim from Texas, Bill (brokenspoke) from TX and Denise from Michigan.
Thanks for stopping by to visit.

 

How cool is it to walk outside the swap meet building and see Junior Brown performing? There was alot of cool bands with a big variety the whole time during the show and it was very cool.

 

I was sitting in my swap meet space when I took this photo.
I wasn't sure if this gal was happy to see me or if that was a coat hanger in her pocket?

 

I was trying to adjust my camera when it went off accidentally and captured this photo of this statuesque model...

 

I'd have to say the highlight of my trip was meeting my new friend Chris from Perth Australia and his wife Ann who were fun, fun, fun. Chris is a great story teller and they hung out with us for two days.

 

Here is Chris (barrelnose pickup) telling his kangaroo story....funny stuff

 

Here is me with Ann and Chris from Australia----

 

It was such a great time.
On the way home while still in Texas Ron and I stopped at a Rudy's BBQ and loved the place. The brisket was moist and excellent. We had banana pudding too. You can see Ron in the last photo wearing his Big Creek Restoration (BCR) t shirt.

 

Good to see you Dick and watch for your own shop visit in the next few days...

 

I also want to thank Dan Greenburg for hauling us around downtown Austin in his rental car and serving as our official tour guide. Ron and I had a lot better time because of Dan...

 

Any plans on going next year Paul?

 

thank you ..fun is where you are...

 

Thanks for another great road trip story. For some reason I'm hungry and need to run to the store now.

 

Hey Paul, Looks like a fun trip!! Workin on going down next year, I hope.

 

No fair... started right out of the gate with the food!

 

Paul great seeing you again.When did you say you would be up this way?

 

Paul, your writing is always worth reading. I think you have a second calling.
We had the honor of the "Paul and Ron Traveling Road Show" stopping by for a visit to our humble abode. Back thing id I had fresh Moon Pies in the shop fridge and did not fix the buds up. Bad me, lol.
And you guys know we have room for ya next year if ya want to stay over in the middle.

 

I always enjoy your threads,
Nice meeting you.

 

As always, good to see you and Ron -- thanks for the photos!
