SGIA Atlanta Reviews....
« on: November 07, 2015, 03:50:39 PM »
Had a good time there.  Was cool to hangout with Danny, Brandt, Bimmrider, 3Deep, Mr. Tees, John Sheridan, hope I am not forgetting someone.  Of course all our friends from M&R, Nazdar, SPA, and CCI.  Hung out with Bobby from Green Galaxy, cool dude that's dedicated to pioneering waterbase ink technology.  CCI had their new RFU discharge inks available at the show, but all kits were gone before I got there, looked cool though.  Nazdar was printing silicone ink on Badger digital camo in their booth and the results were amazing.  Anyone else that was there,  drop some lines below this!

did not get a chance to hang out as I only had about 45 min on the floor, but . . . I did take the OSHA seminar and it was eye opening! Anybody not familiar with what OSHA is all about should be taking it as compliance is mandatory no matter the size of the operation.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

I had a great time there also and good meeting some of you TSB fellers, I was blown away with Roq auto and the foiling head, very cool stuff and wow! I saw and picked up some very nice printed tees.  Lon Winters and his graphic elephant crew can print some nice stuff and I don't think M&R had enough equipment there LOL Rich is always on point.  I found myself looking at the DTG machines so i,m going to have some questions to ask come Monday about the AnaJet.

What a great show!
I made the rounds, took the time to go meet Danny at the Rog booth and walk as much of the floor as I could.

I asked every person who stopped by the booth how their business was going and every single person said they were up from last year! It was a banner year for so many, awesome to see the industry doing so well.

In my talks, I made sure to mention this board to as many as I could so lets hope they stop by.

Nice to meet, shake hands and talk with those from here who stopped by! I love talking shop and meeting new people, to bad on those who missed the opportunity.

The 2016 show is almost sold out and it's gonna be in Vegas.. start making plans now!

Cya in Long Beach!!

Was good seeing a few of you.  We had a good time attending and hanging out a bit. Saw some things I want to buy and likely will.

It was the first show I've been to in over 15 years, so it was really great for me. The Garment Zone was super. I did 2 of Lon Winters classes as well as one with Greg Kitson, one with Dane Clements and another with Ray Smith from Wilfex. All of them were very informative. I talked with John Sheridan a couple of times in the Newman booth and I saw Danny running the Roq, although I didn't get to talk to him, every time I went by he was engaged with a group of people. I also met Brimmridder while talking to Kitson. I'm looking forward to next year.
