John, I'll make sure to stop by and introduce myself. I'll probably be in M&R a bit. I know one booth so far that will have a keg, so I have to see them also. The Newman booth is always a stop I make though. Who else besides Don, and George (I assume) and you will be there?

Doing some set up today. This show is HUGE!
We're in the 3200 isle right next to the M&R booth so the meetup is going to be simple.

Dave,
george, don, myself, and 2 others will be here.

Anyone have suggestions on hotels? I know there are only about 300 of them, but where are people staying? I can't wait to see what kind of trinket I get!

I'm staying at Harrah's.  I was looking for a place on the east side of the strip. There is a tram that runs behind these hotels directly to the convention center.  I made the mistake of staying at the bellagio back in the day.  20 minutes to get a cab at the hotel or a 2 mile walk to the tram station.  I didn't want to rent a car. I'd imagine it's a nightmare to park, but I'm no expert on Vegas.

John....Harrahs is the right spot. Maybe while you are out there, you can get by and see Porn Stars, uh, I mean Pawn Stars and maybe sell or buy some screen printing equipment.

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 know it's come up, but I don't think I've seen definite answers. Where are people meeting up? I know a few booths (M&R and Stretch) have been mentioned. I'm getting in after show hours Thursday. Anyone up for a cocktail?

I will be there Thursday around 2pm. I am planning on hitting the show and then some drinks. Either send your phone number to me or John and at least us 3 can hook up Thursday night.

Lets make a meet up everyday at 4 pm between the M&R booth and stretch device booth. This way we all know a time and place. Then if there is an after show get together we can all know about it at 4. Plenty of time to go to our rooms and powder our noses.

SGIA Vegas was a hit IMO.  To bad I didnt meet anyone from here at the show, I was there all 3 days.  M&R booth was amazing this year, if you havent seen there new squeegee system, its a must.  That Challenger 3D was badass.  Did anyone see the Sprint 2000 in the middle of the booth?  I worked out a SWEET deal with Mr. Hoffman and one shall be mine soon!  CCI had there show special on there new squeeze bottle waterbase system, $80 bucks for every color and a gallon of base.  Might pull the trigger on that tomorrow if they will honor it.  The Magna system was on display in the Nazdar booth and it really looks promising.  Got a sample of Kiwos reclaimable hardener coming my way.  Talked with the owner of Excalibur so if your reading BRANNON, he says he is gonna make some changes.  Had to see for myself what all the fuss is about on the SROQUE, is that a door stopper holding the back of the frame in place?  Thats about it, just want to thank Mr. Hoffman again for his kind support of my shop, don't know where I would be without him.
