I more then likely won't be going... I decided to go skydiving and well spent a little more cash then I wanted to.

I am very shy also. But then, when you do start talking to others and discover common grounds the shyness tends to evaporate.

Im not shy, I guess im just indifferent.

at shows people like to talk, and I often get cornered into a conversation and
it usually ends up being one person talking about who they know, what they have, blah blah blah.. and im totally unimpressed by that and my eyes glaze over, I feel like im being rude, and look for an out to the conversation, and usually come off like a jerk.

I stopped bothering with those years ago.
but who knows it may be worth a visit, see if anything has changed.

It's the new management of the old shows. It's been bought by Pet Snake Snacks of Dallas, a guy named Otis.

I had a booth set up last show and it's the same old bearded dragon and ball python show, with the exception of Repti Racks of North Richland Hills and Bob Clark (and me).

They've had problems the past 2 shows with a particular wholesaler bringing in imported trash and undercutting everyone's prices, I believe he's been banned due to complaints.

Is there a point to being 'impressed' or 'unimpressed'?
They love herps, so do you. Viola!

Don't let previous encounters deterr you from having a little fun for a day.
