An Amazing Card Show Score!!

Today's post was a completely unexpected find at a local card show that blew me away. There is a show here in Vegas every three months that I attend religiously. While I hold out hopes I might find a Zack Wheat I need I go to these knowing the chances are slim and only expecting to find some stuff I can flip online. Any of my remaining PCs beyond Wheat....well, I know I won't find anything to snag.

That's the thing about low or no expectations -- sometimes, you are pleasantly surprised and the last show in July proved to be the biggest card show surprise of my life. Tucked deep within the boxes of an entirely non-sports table was a little gem I instantly knew I would be walking away with. I actually found an Archer sketch card at a show in my city!

I am still in disbelief and can't understand how this came to fruition. The product is 10 years old, there were only about 3,600 total sketch cards based on reports, and I never find any of it in any form (singles, packs, boxes, cases) in the wild. The dealer had it marked at $25 and offering a twenty spot had him quickly declining, so I paid up and left with the newest member of my sketch card crew.

Irma Ahmed is the artist and only owning one of her pieces prior to this made the decision to grab this all the more easy. She has a great style and on eBay this likely would have been listed for more.

I still hold out some hope I will stumble into a score of sealed wax of the product one of these days....fleeting hope, but hope all the same.

Attending The Burbank Card Show!

I attended the Burbank Card Show in Ontario, California two days ago (branding has a way, kids). It's the first show I've been able to go to since before Covid hit and I was excited to be in that environment again. I was going to make the journey despite not anticipating being a buyer. My pessimism on buying was twofold -- one, the show was likely going to be mostly ultra-modern and finding a Zack Wheat was unlikely. Two is the fact that I am currently trying to sell a bunch to finance a super rare Wheat card I have on hold. So if you've ever seen something on my site or you have general collecting interests, e-mail me or drop a comment. Who knows!

I met up with some friends, saw some old friends and acquaintances, and was treated to a nice dinner. That alone would be a win in my book. Add in seeing some truly awesome and unexpected vintage gems and meeting a former major leaguer (albeit it a Giant 😉, but a Giant who had a minor league deal from the Dodgers once upon a time) and it was a great day indeed! But I snagged some stuff too!

I assisted some of my friends in finding cards for their business and in doing so found a couple I wanted to buy myself. My efforts to help them ended up persuading them to give me the four cards I eyed for free as a thank you for my help. I'm a cheap date, really.

All four came from the former major leaguer's table (Ryan Sadowski, super nice as were his folks) and all four hit different areas of my vintage collecting passions. First up, a trimmed but beautiful 1966 Topps Sandy Koufax. It was in Ryan's $10 bin originally and even with the trim at the upper left it presents nicely.

Next up, long-time friends of the blog may remember I have a very soft spot for 1800s Allen & Ginter. It was one of the earliest vintage areas I became interested in as 2010 Ginter got me into collecting cards in general. I could not pass up setting aside another card from the $10 bin in this 1889 N19 A&G Pirates of the Spanish Main. William Fly is the English Pirate featured and even with some paper loss on the reverse and some specks of p.l. on the front it is gorgeous as can be for a 134-year-old piece of cardboard.

Fly was killed by hanging in Boston and his body was put on display to warn other pirates. Here are his reported final words:

"Our Captain and his Mate used us Barbarously. We poor Men can’t have Justice done us. There is nothing said to our Commanders, let them never so much abuse us, and use us like Dogs."

Another $10 gem now in my clutches is this trimmed strip card of President Teddy Roosevelt. It hails from the 1924 W562 Strip Card set featuring Presidents and Presidents alone. I picked up an 1800s card of Honest Abe a while back and Teddy was just a cool find in the midst of so many sports cards at Sadowski's table. I am not going to start collecting Presidential cards and if I ever did they would most definitely be of the 19th century variety. Into the random vintage PC it goes!

The final item I desired and worked off like a child laborer is this Jack Dempsey....something. I have not been able to identify it yet but whatever it is, it has certainly seen better days from a condition standpoint. Pinholes, creasing, minor paper loss, and a dog bite -- what hasn't happened to old Jack here. It's a stellar item nonetheless and I really liked it when I dug it out of the $15 pile. It is indeed a fine addition to my very modest Boxing PC.

Well, there's my show recap. Fun, free-ish cards, free food, and friends made for a stellar 14-hour day. Hopefully more shows will be in my 2023 future and word is a big one is coming to Anaheim later this year. Whether I am still a Californian by then remains to be seen, but one way or another I'll be at another show this year!

Boxing Pickup: Henry Armstrong 1938 Churchman's Cigarettes, SGC 55

Very rarely if ever would I be okay with paying double for a card based on what I valued it at. This is especially true if the card really doesn't fit a primary collecting need/want. However I made the decision to do just that at a card show back in February. I really wanted to buy something and for $10 I picked up a card worth $5 tops despite it being really cool and really old. Here's my newest boxing addition:

This beautiful 1938 Churchman's Cigarettes Boxing Personalities card of Henry Armstrong is slabbed an SGC 55 and was one of the oldest cards at the show that day. A consensus top 5 boxer of all-time, Armstrong was featherweight, lightweight, and welterweight champion during his time and the only boxer to hold titles at three different weight classes simultaneously. He faced 17 world champs in his career and beat 15 of them and had a tremendous nickname which actually ended up selling me on buying the card: Homicide Hank.

Dustin May 2018 Bowman Paper Prospect Rookie Auto, Slabbed a PSA 9

A few months back I went to a card show. It was put on by the same folks who held the one I recently recapped here. I bought mostly non-sports items my first go-around but this was my big sports grab (before it got slabbed).

I couldn't resist this Dustin May 2018 Bowman Paper auto for $5, originally marked $7 before my expert negotiating skills kicked in. May showed flashes of promise and excellent stuff in his limited time in the bigs this year, and hopefully he can be a more permanent fixture in the Dodger rotation next year. A little white on the bottom left corner accounts for the PSA 9 grade.

Card Show Recap: They Still Exist.

I spent a number of hours at a local card show in Orange County this weekend with some friends. It was a good time and a nice change of pace. A few more vintage tables would be great but I was still able to find some cool stuff to purchase.

My favorite pickup was this 1962 Post Roberto Clemente Red Lines Variation, slabbed a PSA Authentic. I somehow missed it on my first pass through the show and the table it resided at and thankfully everyone else missed it. It was priced at a very reasonable $15 and I love getting a good deal on a sweet item. It's a great combo and a fun addition to my beyond modest Clemente Collection.

One vendor had a slew of scorecards that were signed. I thought they were pretty cool but didn't want to spend too much on such a random item. I ended up finding the above which was appealing because Max Muncy was playing for the AAA Dodgers at that point (summer 2017) and I don't have anything Muncy in my collection. Plus, the Dodgers were playing the New Orleans Baby Cakes which is a great team name to go along with a great mascot. At $10 it was an easy decision and will be something fun to display on my desk at work.

One dealer had some really nice dollar boxes to pick through and I nabbed the above plus a few others to end up at 11 cards for $10 when it was all said and done. A ripped RIP card /10 for a dollar every day of the week. The Piazza, almost unbelievably, is a set need for a set I don't even want to finish.

Card Show Recap: Some Amazing PC Pickups, Meeting A Blogger In-Person, and Mocking Book Value.

I attended a card show this past Saturday in Gardena. It's the same show I hit up twice in 2013 except for the venue moving a bit further away from me. I met up with Matthew from Dodger Penguin and we completed a trade that will get its own post. I also met up with Austin and we browsed a few tables before he departed. My favorite dealer was once again at the show and a couple other tables were present yet again that made it another enjoyable Saturday.

Purchase: Jose Fernandez 2012 Bowman Prospect Auto - $15

There's one dealer who has been at all three shows. He almost always goes by book value alone when selling his cards and somehow assumes everyone is bringing Gretzky or Jordan-level hits to the show to sell. He had a friend with a table near him who was also a slave to book value. Except this time, book value benefited me, the buyer. The friend had a pair of Jose Fernandez autos from 2012 Bowman and wanted $15 for each. Which is crazy low considering how much of a beast Jose is at just 21 years of age.

I was giddy when I heard $15 and scooped one up before the guy realized how low the price he quoted me was. I was tempted to buy the second but if I bought every card I wanted, I'd have gone broke long ago. My buddy Rich had a table and I mentioned the bargain to him. He handed me 15 bucks and asked me to pick up the remaining Fernandez for him. We were both quite happy with our coups.

Purchase: Ryan Getzlaf '13-'14 UD Series 1 Relic - $1

The same dealer who had the Fernandez also had a Ryan Getzlaf relic I did not yet own. I figured it shouldn't be too hard to pry it away from him, considering its book value couldn't be too high and it's really a $1-2 card. I had to somewhat convince him but he seemed to not really care about a plain old relic. All the better for me as I add another hit to my Getzy Collection.

Purchase: Miscellaneous Vintage From My Favorite Dealer, Patrick - $12

At the first show, I came across Patrick. He had a TON of awesome vintage that was priced to move, and I made sure some of it did. I've made it a point to head back to his table at each subsequent show and his station was my first stop this time around. I was able to pick up some trade bait for bloggers I owe and a few cards that will call my collection home.

Ohio and Tucker are headed to Duane; New York is for Scott Crawford, if he'd like it; Red Munger is ticketed for Matt Scott; and the beat-up card with its football front barely remaining can be Fuji's down the road, if it meets the requirements for his Damaged Card PC.

I'm not a football guy, but how could I pass up a card of a guy named Vitamin Smith? I looked it up, and I'd actually take Vitamin over his birth name of Verda. I had to pick up Zollie Toth for a buck and a half, as I have an affinity for others with "Z" names. John Rauch looks exactly like Peyton Manning down to the number 18. Germany and Tennessee were easy adds as I like both sets and Patrick always has a plethora of both available.

Purchase: Miscellaneous Football Vintage From A Tub - $3

One of my other favorite dealers at these shows brings tubs of cards that range from 10 cents to a dollar or two. I can spend 30 minutes or more sifting through his tubs and chatting with him and his family. I managed to land some more trade bait and a couple of cards I liked for myself.

The '71 Topps Lance Alworth (50 cents) fits nicely in my Chargers' PC and tempts me to get every vintage Alworth base card from the 60s/70s. I already have 1970 and 1971, and both have come from these card shows. The '69 Earl Morrall (25 cents) and '65 Ray Berry (50 cents) were plucked solely on name value.

The 1960 Fleer Don Allen and 1955 Bowmans were fun finds for pocket change.

Purchase: Starling Marte Sterling RC Auto + Johnny Unitas: A Charger? - $6

One dealer had some ridiculous vintage and some more modern stuff that was all at least 80% off from book. The Marte quickly stood out as good bait and was priced at $4 after the discount, so I was pretty sure I would wind up grabbing that. I kept going back to his booth to look through some stuff and just as the show was coming to a close and I was ready to leave, I saw a card of Hall of Fame quarterback Johnny Unitas....as a San Diego Charger.

I'm a big Chargers' fan but I had no idea Unitas suited up for the Bolts. It was $3 after the discount so I offered five on the pair and he met me in the middle at $6.

Sold. It was my final purchase of the day.

Purchase: Winston Churchill and More Random Vintage Football From My Favorite Dealer, Patrick - $3

My penultimate purchase came from one final trip to Patrick's table.

I've always had a soft-spot for Winston Churchill as a history major and fan of people who speak their minds. Considering Churchill is the man behind my favorite quote of all-time from someone as powerful as he was -- "Yes madam, I am drunk. But in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly." (/paraphrased) -- it was an easy pickup for a buck, even in its less than stellar condition.

The football vintage was simply priced to move, as the Alex Karras was a buck and name I recognized while the Packer and L.A. Ram ran me a combined dollar.

Card Show Trade: Matt Kemp 2012 Topps Museum Collection Quad Relic /99

Aside from the trade I completed with Dodger Penguin, I made two trades while at the show with a couple of teenagers who were enjoying the festivities. It's always great to see some younger cardboard aficionados at events like these.

As I was showing one kid some of the trade bait I brought with me, one of his friends thrust the above Matt Kemp triple bat/number patch relic from Museum Collection in my face and asked if I'd take it for a Neil Walker Gypsy Queen auto I had available.

It was a ridiculously easy YES from me. The lower right corner does have a pretty gnarly ding but I can live with that. This Bison beaut is numbered 42/99 (a Jackie Robinson tribute, oh snap) and I've always loved Dodger cards that feature a piece of a player's red jersey number. It's a welcome addition to my Kemp PC.

Card Show Trade: Elvis Andrus Tier One Auto /25 + Yu Darvish Bowman Blue RC /500 + Carlos Beltran Triple Threads Relic /9

After a young collector and I looked through each other's available cards, I settled on a handful I was interested in, including the three listed above. He was interested in a Devin Mesoraco RC Auto and a Zach Britton Blue RC Auto and offered the Andrus, Beltran, and Yu for them.

I was sold instantly and we had a quick trade wrapped up. The Andrus is numbered 13/25 but does have a dinged lower right corner; the Beltran is 3/9 and has at least one small seam; and the Darvish RC is #'d 357/500.

Card Show Sale: Mike Moustakas Auto /50 - $15

The same kid who made the Andrus trade with me was very interested in a Mike Moustakas auto /50 I had from some product that eludes my memory right now (it pictures him in the minors). I told him to make me an offer and he came up with $15. I was quite happy with that and we had ourselves a sale.

Card Show Sale: Oscar Moller Auto/Patch RC - $10

Rich, who runs the card shop Wax Czar in Woodland Hills and has had a table at all three shows, was interested in any Los Angeles Kings' bait I might have. He has a customer who is always looking to buy Kings' cards, and I had the Moller. Rich offered me ten bucks, letting me know he'd be moving it for fifteen. I was more than happy to help out a friend.

----------------------

I passed on two amazing cards at the show because condition was just not nearly good enough for my liking. Both came from 1953 Topps and they're probably the cards I'd most want from that set. I'm confident I will one day own both. It was pretty damn cool to hold both in my hands though.

So in the end I spent $40; made $25 by selling two cards; completed an in-person card show trade for a sweet new Mattycakes' card; and finally finalized a blog trade with my buddy Matthew. The $25 has already gone towards a HUGE addition to one of my budding collections in a deal that I had agreed to before the show. $11 of what I had allocated for the show also went towards said HUGE PC addition.

Spending All Day at a Card Show!

I'll be on my way in a couple of hours to a card show in Gardena. It's the same show I attended twice last year, except it's been moved out of my hometown for whatever reason.

I know a few fellow bloggers will be in attendance, including Dodger Penguin, DodgerBobble, and Casey from The House of Oglethorpe. Austin will also be there, and Ernest from Dodgers Blue Heaven may make an appearance.

If you'll be there, find me and say hello. I'll be in a blue shirt that reads "The Bison" across the front.

Card Show Recap: 1933 Goudey, Vintage Galore, Cheap Hits, Trade Bait, Set Help, and Kate Upton.

I attended a card show this past Saturday in my Las Vegas 51s' jersey. The show was put on by the same people who ran the first show I attended back in May. I was hoping to find some nice PC additions, some nice bait, and some awesome vintage. I met up with Oscar during the show, and you can find his recap here.

--------------------------

Purchase: 1933 Goudey Ray Benge RC - $8

This was my second-to-last purchase. I hadn't spent much at this point and didn't expect to find anything at this table of mostly high-priced vintage. I noticed a stack of '33 Goudeys and hoped I might find one of the four remaining cards I need to complete the Brooklyn Dodgers' team set. I thankfully struck gold in the form of Ray Benge. It was marked as $10, and I was hoping to nab it for 8. I offered 7, the dealer countered with 8, and we had ourselves an easy deal.

Purchase: 1961 Bell Brand Walt Alston & 12 Non-Sports Vintage Cards - $10

I've now made a large and enjoyable purchase of non-sports vintage from the same dealer at both shows. Patrick has a lot of cool stuff to pick through, and he gave me a great deal on top of letting me know about the Bell Brand Dodgers he had. He mentioned that he had me in mind when he brought them, which is just awesome. One of the Michigans is ticketed for our resident Michigan collector, if he wants it.

Purchase: Lot of 7 Hits - $10

Here's where things get interesting. This was the last table I hit up, and it was as the remaining dealers began to take their stuff down and close. The guy was nice enough to let me pick through his one and two dollar boxes and mentioned someone had earlier found a Johnny Bench auto in the two buck box. I didn't expect to find anything, but after randomly picking out a handful of cards, I hit the jackpot in that same box of two dollar cardboard: a Peyton Manning #'d autograph.

I wanted to make sure he saw where I had pulled the card from, and when I finally got his attention, he took it and showed another dealer the mistake the guy who put his boxes together had made. I did not get said autograph for two dollars, and he didn't even give me a price.

Was he obligated to sell it to me for $2? No, but should he have considering the mistake was his, not mine, and the box is advertised as $2 per card? Probably, especially considering someone had found the Bench auto earlier and you'd think he would take the time to search it for other misplaced cards.

He evidently was appreciative, as he thanked me later and gave me the above seven hits for ten bucks when they would have been $20.

Purchase: Matrix and UCLA Basketball Pickups - $3

The first table I landed at when I arrived belonged to a dealer who was at the first show. I made a much smaller purchase from him this time around but was just as pleased with my additions.

Purchase: Ginter Set Needs, Kershaw, Kate Upton, and Dick Pole Leading To A Rusty Kuntz - $2

I WAS ACTUALLY ABLE TO KNOCK OFF A COUPLE OF GINTER SET NEEDS. I was pleasantly surprised at that outcome when the Rios and Miggy were found. Both Kershaws are new additions to my Kid K PC, bringing me just shy of 200 unique Clayton cards.

The Dick Pole card was directly in front of the Rusty Kuntz RC, and for a quarter each, I wasn't leaving them behind.

Oscar also brought some cards for me, so a big thanks to him for that!

Gold Getzy and A Card Show Today!

I picked up another new piece to my Ryan Getzlaf SuperCollection. Numbered 12/25 and the Mirror Gold parallel of a badass Getz insert, it hails from 2010-2011 Panini Certified and depicts The Captain raising The Cup back in 2007.

I'm off to a Card Show, the same one I attended earlier this year. Should be a lot of fun, and hopefully a few California bloggers will make an appearance as well.

My 1st Card Show: The Damage.

I attended a card show Saturday in my neck of the woods, the first card show I've ever been to. It was promoted as a heavily vintage show and it certainly lived up to that billing. It's times like these I wish I had a massive budget because there was so, so much I wanted to buy. I spent about half of what I brought, but most importantly, I had a wonderful time with excellent people. I met up with Spiegel, Jesse, Ernest, and Oscar, who made the show even more enjoyable. There's no real order to these purchases, so I'll begin with a big PC addition.

--------------------------

Purchase: 1960 Nu Hi-Lites Campanella + 8 Non-Sports Vintage Cards - $10

The Campanella hails from 1960's Nu-Card Baseball Hi-Lites and, according to the dealer, is rare-ish. It was the most expensive card of the lot, clocking in at six bucks. It's a most welcome addition to my Campy Collection. All five 1966 Batman cards were had as a small lot for just a buck, and each Russia card, as well as good old Poland, was a dollar. Gotta love Helmar, and the other Russia is basically flawless, front and back.

Ernest mentioned that the Batman set would be too appealing to not put together, and I have to say, he's right on. I'm not going to make a list or go full-bore on that set right now, but I won't turn down picking up any cheap '60s Batman cardboard. Look at that artwork and color. Beautiful.

--------------------------

Purchase: Lot of 4 Hits - $10

This particular seller knew exceptionally little about cards except to occasionally quote Beckett. I almost sold him some of my random bait as the show wound down but he passed, then agreed, then passed again. Anyhoo, Jesse from L.A. Inspiration and I went in on a large lot of cards from this guy and got a great deal on them. Most were Jesse's but these four came home with me.

The Granderson is #'d 10/50 and the Dantley is signed in silver ink. The Spezza is headed to a new trade partner that I owe some cardboard to.

--------------------------

Purchase: 11-Card Lot (Autos, Rookies, and Bait, Oh My!) - $15

Next up, a large lot I bought from a nice guy who had a bunch of boxes you always hope to find at a show - quarter, dollar, and the like. I picked out a few cards for various PCs and kept an eye out for bait, which was abundant. The Espinosa fits right in with my Dirtbags PC and I've wanted a Bosh relic since parting with the couple I had once upon a time. Mr. Stryker, the Walker is yours if you need it, and the Barnum was snagged with a certain Kate Upton fan in mind.

Oscar Taveras is a BEAST, and when I was told his RC would run me just a buck, I jumped quicker than you can imagine. I guess it doesn't book all that high but still, it seemed like a low price. The Cole Chrome RC was also a buck, and I've got to show love to my fellow Bruins' alum. The Berkman and Newton were each a quarter. I'm secretly collecting The Big Puma....don't tell Sam.

A quarter each. I'm a LeBron fan, the Bagwell is just plain awesome, and the Sweeney is ticketed for Roy-Z.

--------------------------

Purchase: Jackie Robinson 50th Anniversary Commemorative Comic - $5

Let's move away from cards for a moment to one of the first items that caught my eye as I made my initial pass through the tables. There was one dealer who had a bunch of non-card items and this sweeeeet Jackie comic - "The Legend of The Blue Knight" - immediately captivated me. It was given out by the Dodgers in 1997 and celebrates the 50th Anniversary of Jackie breaking the color barrier. It features magnificent artwork as well as L.A.'s five consecutive ROYs in the mid 1990s.

The above pamphlet was tucked in the protective sleeve behind the comic.

--------------------------

Purchase: 11-Card 1960s/1970s Lot, Various Sports - $4

Back to cardboard additions. I picked up 11 cards from one dealer who was there with his wife and daughter. Really nice guy and family. He had tubs of cards from all sports with a bunch of great stuff and everything was very reasonably priced. The highlight of the lot has to be the 1964 Topps Billy Williams I landed for two dollars. It was the most expensive card, by far, and happens to be in excellent condition. Oh, what could have been for J.R. Richard. The Hollins is the lone basketball card I picked up and can be Cam H.'s if he wants it. JFK played baseball?

The two Bills' cards are headed with the Spezza north of the border. The 1970 Topps Lance Alworth, as a Chargers' fan with nothing even remotely vintage, was an easy buy for just 40 cents. The seller had a number of CFL cards and I was quite drawn to the Gabler and Abendschan. Abendschan was both a guard and a kicker, which is just spectacular.

--------------------------

Purchase: R.A. Dickey 2012 Topps Update All-Star Stitches Jersey - $1

The final purchase I'll cover is actually the first purchase I made. For the sum of one United States dollar bill, I picked up this R.A. Dickey relic from none other than Spiegel. Once again, it has a home other than mine in its near future. For the first hour or so of the show, all I had purchased was the Dickey. Phrasing....boom.

--------------------------

"Purchase": Mike Piazza 1994 Mother's Cookies 4-Card ROY Set - $0

Now, on to the freebies I was fortunate enough to receive. The same dealer I picked up the Billy Williams and Friends from gave me this killer four-card set of Mother's Cookies cards featuring Mike Piazza. The set was released in 1994 and commemorates Mike's '93 Rookie of The Year win.

"Purchase": Jerry Sands RCs - $0

The aforementioned Oscar brought me a few cards, including this pair of Jerry Sands rookies. The colorful Sands is orange even though it scanned red.

--------------------------

"Purchase": Joe Judge 1928 Yuengling's Ice Cream - $0 (!)

A few hours into the show Jesse, Spiegel, and I left to grab a bite at Tito's. If you're not from the L.A. area there's a good chance you're unfamiliar with Tito's. Let me just say it's a tremendous local spot and makes fantastic Mexican food. When we returned I went to find a chair and spotted Mr. Judge on the floor. I asked around and couldn't find an owner. I assume someone bought it and dropped it, especially considering the dealer right near the area didn't have vintage.

It now resides with me. The old "Finder's Keeper" statute of childhood still applies, right? With help from Ernest I know it hails from the 1928 Yuengling's Ice Cream release, a pretty rare set. All I could deduce originally is that the back talked about turning in the Babe Ruth card - who would ever willingly give up a vintage Ruth??? - and receiving quarts of ice cream or a $5 "skooter."

That, and the player on the front played for the Washington Senators. That 35 on the bottom front is quite important, actually. It's the only way I was able to figure out the player is none other than Joe Judge, Brooklyn native and a Dodger for 42 games in 1933. Judge has one card as a Dodger, and it can be found in the 1933 Goudey set I'm putting together.

Not a bad freebie, if I do say so myself.

--------------------------

So, my first card show ever is in the books. It was everything I had hoped it would be and more, and to top it all off I didn't spend everything I brought with me. The guys who set the show up have tentatively scheduled another show, in the same location, for October of 2013.

I can't wait.

I'm Off To A Card Show!

With some of you in mind and an updated copy of my Want List in-hand, I'm off to what should be a pretty sweet card show. A meeting of Dodger bloggers at said show is shaping up to take place and a trip to Tito's is planned, which is awesome.

Kate approves of my plans for the day.
