Re: [Texascavers] Convention

[Mimi Jasek]

I second this, and all said before by others! What a great convention - truly 
one of the best I've been to. I even heard some saying some of the talks 
rivaled ones seen and heard at NSS conventions! Strong praise, presenters.

Let's repeat this next year, for it truly was an awesome event:)

Ending the weekend with another great dig at Kiwi Sink was just icing on the 
cake! Thank you, Gill!

RE: [Texascavers] convention thoughts

[George Veni]

David,

I hope you and others with your attitude can make it for the entire
Congress, Sunday through Sunday, 19-26 July. Courtesy, consideration, and
reaching out to others, especially those from other countries who may feel a
little shy, are vital to making this a fun, exciting, and worthwhile event
for everyone.

Thanks for your post,

George

Subject: [Texascavers] convention thoughts

I have not registered for ICS and I may only be able
to attend for a day or 2.

But I would like to share some thoughts based on attending 8
NSS Conventions.

Attendees flying to the convention will find it difficult to pack everything
they need.Big items like tarps and poles, large tent stakes, kayaks,
canoes, bicycles, cook-stoves, pots & pans, lawn-chairs,
inner tubes, tents, tables, cots, wet-suits, flippers, etc. don't pack
well on a plane.

Not all attendees are coming to go caving, and most will not be
accustomed to camping in the Texas summer heat, especially
in an open field.

It would be helpful for them to know that Texas cavers are willing to
share such items.

[ At the Maine convention, a caver let me ship my large duffel
bag by ground to his address and he delivered it to me at
the campground.That was a huge help. ]

There will be cavers who might need a ride to the pharmacy
or grocery store. If you are going to the store ask around
to see if other cavers need anything while you are there.

If you are going to go eat at a restaurant, don't be shy.   Ask
around to see if anybody wants to go.I have had dinner
several times with cavers I did not know at conventions.

At the cafeteria, don't eat by yourself. Look for someone to
sit with and join them.After all, they came to the convention
to meet cavers.

I have had cavers go "way out of the way" to help me on numerous
occasions.All of these efforts, made my experience at the
conventions more pleasant and more memoriable.

Some cavers might want to rent a car, but getting to and from
the rental car agency can be a real pain in the neck.Some
might have accidentally chosen a hotel farther from the campus
than they expected.

Also, I have shared hotel rooms by sleeping on the floor or
a cot with cavers I had never met in my life. And I have
split the cost of a rental car with caver's I have never met
in my life.Looking back it all seemed like great fun
( they probably have a different version of the story ).

I guess what I am trying to say is to go the extra mile
in reaching out to be hospitable and friendly to cavers
you don't know. Conventions are not good places
to be clickish.There a great place to meet people
who have interest similar to your own.

Also, if there is a caver who for some reason or another
is not someone you want to be sociable with, ignore
that during the convention, and make at effort to be
courteous, professional and friendly.

Also, don't be shy of the hot tub.Just take off your
clothes and get in.Having a naked conversation
with someone you don't know is an experience you
just have to try.


On a somewhat related topic,

I was wondering how much this event will be different from the 1994
NSS Convention. My memories of that have
faded and are fuzzy. It seems the emphasis
on caving then was having everybody bop Devil's
Sinkhole. I do recall that 6 of us became very
sick with Histo from visiting Emerald Sink.  I
remember the Alamo Howdy Party was a blast.
I remember the swimming hole was great.   I
remember a pre-convention meeting installing
water-cooled fans in an attempt to cool the
un-air-conditioned rooms where the sessions
were being held.   I remember someone selling
titanium rappel-racks.And Charles Haskett
was making some convention souvenirs on
wood with his scroll saw. That was my
first convention, and was so much fun that
I decided to attend a few more of them.
I would like to add that some of the fun
is something you won't
be able to tell your mom about, and maybe
something you won't ever be able to tell
anyone about.


I should be able to leave Houston on Monday, attend the
Howdy Party, camp out, and come home on Tuesday without
missing anything work related here in Houston.But my hope
is to attend as much of ICS as possible.

RE: [Texascavers] Convention Wrap Up and Longhorn Reminder

[Butch Fralia]

Don't forget, if you're registered for the TSA member area you can add your
own calendar events for trips like Longhorn.  Just log in to the member area
and one of the options after login is "Add Calendar Events".  It works
because that's the same function I use to put new stuff on the calendar.
You can also edit (change or cancel) events you put on the calendar.

 

Regards,

 

Butch Fralia

None of those items matches my list but there was a headlamp that was lost 
at Convention on the first night (Fri), possibly around the campfire, it's a 
princeton tech. If anyone picked one up thinking it was theirs let me know.

Re: [Texascavers] Convention

[Aimee Beveridge]

Thank you Jacqui, and everyone who helped.  The site was lovely, the food was 
excellent and it was a very well organized event.   



"J. LaRue Bills"  wrote: Hey, everybody,
Well, except that we didn't have snow and the tornado warning wasn't for 
lower Gillespie County, Spring Convention had just about everything.

Thanks to everyone who was able to attend because you are all the reason I 
had such a good time.

Most especially I would like to thank the following people:

Kel for a great program and all the details I couldn't/didn't get to myself,

Darla Bishop and family for spending so much more time at registration than 
anyone intended, and Darla for sleeping with the cash;

Ed Goff and Pete Lindsley for the map and photo salons and for being 
gracious about my lack of understanding regarding map and photo salons;

Allan Cobb and TCR for wristbands;

Bill Bentley, a fellow PBSS member, for help with really early set up and 
with registration;

Noel Pando, another PBSS member, for registration help,

Mark Alman for registration and a bunch of other stuff,

Joe Ranzau and Joe Mitchell for making sure the caterer had a tent;

The Stricklands for the fire pan and the high BTU wood to go with it;

Jim Kennedy for, well, the list would be really really long;

Joe Ranzau again for the same reason;

The 2 Nicholases who helped whenever asked and even sorted glass for 
recycling (ick);

Jon Cradit for hauling the recycling to San Marcos,

Preston's boy Rigel who picked up and threw away every last bit of paper in 
his search for Spiderman's hair and I sure hope he found it,

Everyone who offered to help raise and lower and batten down all sorts of 
things;

I'm sure I didn't mention someone who did something above and beyond and 
that does not mean I didn't appreciate your help so forgive me, please.

The Albert Community Club and Gillespie County Historic Schools people were 
quite happy with the way we left everything. They returned our deposit, and 
invited us back.

Thank you again and I'll see you all at the next event! Jacqui

[Emily McGowan]

Glad to hear it!  I cannot take credit, however - the person in San Marcos 
was recommended to me by Linda Palit and Allan Cobb.  Thanks to all!!


Emily


One of the two Convention needs has been covered:
Jon Cradit will be picking up the recyclables and taking them to, I 
believe, the person in San Marcos recommended by Emily.


Thank you, Jon!

We are still seeking a ride for the panels for the Salons. Jacqui
