Getting to be that time! I already booked my stuff, some kind of record for me being prepared! I get in Thursday and staying at my favorite dump that lets you drink in the parking lot till 4am. The wonderful two start Travelodge!

Who else is making the trip?

[ericheartsu]

I wasn't planning on going this year, but I got a call today and it looks like I'll be working the Workhorse booth. If any of you guys are there come by and say what's up. I'll be running the cutlass.

[Maxie]

I'll be there with my son, we have booked into the Courtyard.
I love this show and even more the spare ribs near the water.
Not looking forward to the 14 hour flight home.
Looking forward to meeting all of you that are coming.

We are looking forward to having everyone check out our booth - 547. We've been finalizing product development and preparing the display for many weeks. We are fortunate to be assisted by Ms. Nancy Gray who is an SGIA academy member. Ms. Gray can offer technical advise in many areas of screen printing & is also fluent in Spanish.

New Products on Display are:
  * Hinged Double Sleeve Pallets for use with any machine including MHM & ROQ
  * Off-Press Pallet Paper Changing System for use with any machine including MHM & ROQ
  * 14" Manual Roller Squeegees with bike handle grips.
  * Kornit Zipper Hoodie Pallets with Guitar String for holding down the zipper.

We will have approximately 50 Products on Display.

Eric - the NAMM show is awesome. We displayed our Bad Ass Music Stands there in 2006. The PRS display was one of the highlights and always had several A-List rock stars hanging around.

Erik that sounds incredible. It's my first time going, and we have a couple of clients who will be displaying stuff we made for them. I'm also hoping to pick up some more clients.

You should send me one of your guitar stands

Up in the air here at the moment... Have the hotel booked but haven't committed to the flights yet.  The wife and I are traveling to the Netherlands for 10 days at the end of the month and our workload when we return will make or break the Cali trip.

BUT now that I just found out that NAMM runs at the same time (thank you gentlemen), I don't see how I can miss two for the price of one.  I'm a major studio gearhead and we are in the process of launching an in-house clothing line catered to that crowd.  Can't think of a better place for promotion on that front. 

Yeah I'll be there.

You guys are talking about going to NAMM as vendors? For screen printing? I was under the impression that trade show was ridiculously hard to get into if it was not a musical related.

I'll mainly be going to check out the gear and for the overall experience.  But since we're also launching a clothing brand aimed at this market, I'll be promoting that however possible as well. Mainly through giveaways, conversations and making connections to get the line promoted.  In regards to any type of vendor booth, it definitely won't be this year but if things pan out with the brand its something I'd consider in the future.  It would be focused on the product though, and not any type of service.

[ericheartsu]

yeah same for us. we have alot of clientele that will be there. we are just going to say hi, and meet people we've only ever emailed.

[TCT]

Well maybe the three of us can go as one big cute group.... 

[ericheartsu]

are you kidding me? I gotta look cool, i can't be seen with you posers!

[sqslabs]

I'm down, but only if we present ourselves as a band called The Pinholes.

Edit: Just saw Eric's post - He's out of the band.
