Article from the Houston Chronicle about the event here

Last year I missed this event and I saw some of the amazing Origami creations in the paper and kicked myself for missing it. This year I am there! I have always loved origami and this is the cream of the crop.

"This model is one of the 54 uniform-edge polypolyhedra and is one of the hardest. It took a full day to assemble the units even after I'd folded them all."--Robert Lang

Nice origami pics, Rob.

I am going to the opening show for this on saturday. I expect to be blown away by folded paper, and yes, I will be stoned.

Please, don't end up tearing pieces off these art pieces to roll joints, uh? ;)
By the way, I think this is gonna be a great thing, sounds (and looks) mindblowing. Take pics and share them , pretty pleeeez!
