Just arrived DFW heading to hotel.  Any TSB guys or gals available for dinner tonight to solve the worlds problems over BBQ and a cold beverage in downtown FW?

I'll be there tomorrow when the doors open...hopefully, as long as nothing happens early when I come up to the shop to get the guys ready for the day.  Mark with Douthitt told me to find you and have a nice conversation about CTS so let me know if you will have some time to chat.

Would give anything to be there.  I've enjoyed the 2 at Ft. Worth I've attended.  I'll be helping our daughter move into their new house.  It's always something.  Everyone have fun checking out the latest toys.
It's not a job if you love doing it.

sign up for the classes. Anything by Greg Kitson is going to save you a lot of money or headache. If you had to chose between his classes or the show floor, I would chose classes every time.

I totally agree, Pierre. Greg is a wealth of knowledge. Still, after 25 years in the biz, I'll sit in on classes. I'll never know enough. Wish I was in TX this weekend.

Alan,

Sorry I missed you and misread your inquiry about getting together, Apparently you were at the show on Friday and I thought it would be Saturday.

Good luck on your CTS journey.

No Worries GK, I doubt we would have had enough quality time anyway.  I was there for almost 6 hours and made it to about 7 booths and ended up seeing about 15% of the show.  I never even saw the impressions award area or laid eyes on a single DTG machine.  My route consisted of walking directly to the first MHM auto I've seen at the Ft. Worth show in 6-7 years, spent about 45 minutes with Gavin and Robert, then I walked about 15 feet to the Anatol Volt booth for a few minutes but quickly left there for the 10 color Sabre and spent an hour there.  From there I made a B-line to the G3 and STE II for maybe 1.5 hours and mingled at the GSG booth at the DB watching Lon work a somewhat difficult print on the DB while talking shop with whoever walked up and wanted to chat.  Then I went to the Ryonet booth and spent a long time at the Sroque YOU.  The Sroque/Ryonet guys held my attention for a while discussing the green machine among many other things we saw at the show, and then I walked straight out the front door and I was gone.  I really wish I could have come back on Saturday and I should have and asked for forgiveness later.  So the last 2 shows I've managed to see maybe half of the show floor combined so I need to come up with a better plan for seeing the entire show.  3 years ago I walked the show floor with a guy where I could see people ducking and hiding when they saw us walking their way :), which was good for me because I got to see a lot more but now when I go I see so many people that I know or need to talk to.
