re: Have 2 companies in the oilfield. Heard early last week that OTC might be cancelled.

Didn't post it here or anywhere else just in wait and see mode. Well with the Houston rodeo shutting down I would say OTC (Offshore Technology Conference) cancelling is all but a formality now.

Ironically I have been looking for airfare price drops to Brazil and Norway and they aren't moving yet. Doing a little bargain shopping for planned April trips but no deals yet.

My company sent five of us to Canada to set up the new computer system about 10 years ago. It was just us on a big ole plane on the way up there. The 737 shuffle on landing was pretty damn interesting.

Anyway on the way back we were on a smaller plane and the MOFO was totally packed. Everyone on the plane including us were flying to Houston to attend OTC. It was so packed we had to make an unscheduled stop in Dallas to get fuel. The pilot said it was taxing on the fuel to get that heavy bastard over the mountains in Denver!!!!

People come from all over for OTC. More than for the rodeo.
