Do you have a list of stuff? I've got a good friend who's got his
ticket (can't remember if he's got his general or is still on a tech
license) who's building out a shack. He was talking about going to
Cowtown, but hey, if there's the potential to have some stuff sold
before you go, that's a win.

As of a few moments ago, the Cowtown
Hamfest website allowed me to buy a ticket (contrary to
the status blurb on the main page.)? I still couldn't
access the schedule, though.

Well, as of this morning
(12/19,) the website still isn't fully
functional.? I couldn't buy a pre-sale ticket,
and I still couldn't see the schedule.? On a
happier note, when you access the "ticket" link
on the main page's upper menu bar, it takes you
to another page with two background pictures
that alternate -- one is an overhead shot from
the inside balcony showing the tables on the
main floor, and one shows people coming in the
door and either presenting or buying tickets.?
The big guy in the red shirt and khaki ball cap
is me!? That's my Scorpion Antennas shirt, and
the khaki hat has "K5JY" embroidered on the
front (although you can't see either.)? Hmmm, I
don't remember giving them permission to use my
likeness in a profit-making enterprise...? Maybe
they'll give me an extra door prize ticket so I
have some chance of joining Mike's (AE5IV's)
winning streak <grin.>

Looks like the website
is finally (mostly) fixed:?
Dates are 1/20-21/2023,
but ticket pre-sale isn't working yet.
The page says that the deadline for the
pre-sale drawing will be 1/18.
Wasn't able to see the
schedule, either (link took me to a
Google drive where I didn't have
access.)? I'll keep watching it, and
report if the Saturday 1200-1300 slot
won't work for our "brown-bag and
eyeball QSO" event.

Don't know how
many are still around to participate,
but I'd like to propose a "brown-bag"
lunch of the surviving ERS'ers on
Saturday at the hamfest.? That means
"bring whatever you'd like to eat for
lunch" and we'll gather somewhere onsite
around noonish.? (In the past, onsite
food has been a hassle.)? The published
schedule shows a one-hour break from
1200 to 1300, so we should be able to
meet, greet, and eat in that time.? RSVP
here, and if there's a quorum, I'll
start looking for a site (in the past,
we've found a balcony, or an outdoor
porch.)? Plus, we should coordinate a
frequency to connect via our HTs (you
WILL be packing an HT, won't you?)
Regards and 73,
