C.A.T.S. Fest in central Texas

http://www.catsfestival.com/

Bulverde us just up the road from San Antonio's outer loop (1604). I had heard of it but Steve Saka told me what a great time it was so this year we're going. Kind of an IPCPR warm-up of sorts.

Anyone who's interested I can help you out with hotel info, just let me know.

Well, sorry to report it wasn't. A vast shortage of vendors (although the ones that there were cool) and a lack of "special freebies" made for one hot sweaty day where I drank one beer, smoked one cigar and donated 80 cigars to Cigars for Warriors without a single raffle ticket coming through (although that really wasn't the point, donating the cigars was), out in the middle of BFE and hotter than frell.

Not going back next year. Even though I got to spend some quality conversation time with Robert Holt of Southern Draw. So it didn't completely suck, but it really could have been better.

sorry you were miss informed about this being an IPCPR like event. This Face Book group has been doing this event for the past 5 years. Usually they have live entertainment and catered meal along with a PAID VIP Party where those lucky people get a lot of gifts and swag. CATS FEST is like our old Reno Herfs, a chance for members to get together bs, smoke and get to know the people whom they chat with on their fb page. yes there is some donations that get around and raffles for others but hearing that you went on an invite from Saka and not being a member of their group maybe that's why they were "cold" to you. Sorry you had a bad time but from the looks of the CATS members who went they had a blast.

They sold tickets to the public with an unambiguous hook that their primary goal is "giving back to the cigar consumer," and in the first paragraph of their web come-on they promise a monstrous haul of cigars. The copy is rife with over the top descriptions of a cigar-themed bacchanal of epic proportions. If all I got for my ticket was a dusty beer and a single cigar in the sweltering heat, I'd be disappointed too, Jeff.

Same is as same does.

And I never said I expected it to be IPCPR Randy. I said Saka told us it was fun last year. And I am a CATS member. Sorry you can't read.
