Anyone ever been to a Fespa show?  London in June sounds good to me and my wife.

Might be a good one to attend. We are going to attempt to break our record of how many shirts printed in an hour at that show. The record stands at 1,909 at the moment but from all we see on the CH3 D series that number is going to be surpassed and by quite a bit. Fespa has agreed and we will be doing it during the show in London.

Now I want to go even more.  Is entry free over there, do they let anyone go?

London is one of my favorite places! If you make it out there, make sure you catch a play at The Globe! Book the tickets early as they sell out in few days.

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!

Go to the National Museum on Trafalgar Square, then down Whitehall Street past Big Ben and Parliament to Westminster Abbey. Go to the Tower of London. Take a side trip to Bath if you've got time . . . it's worth it. Once you've spent the dough for getting over there and back, it's worth a couple of extra days to see stuff you won't see anywhere else.
Oh, and wash down your bangers and mash with lots of ale . . .

'and the Eye! Don't forget the Eye!

I was actually going to be in Europe around that time. Maybe I can make it a business expense! The FESPA here in US I attended few years back was worth it, but I think the part I took advantage of was more related to the two other shows running in conjunction with FESPA (ISS&GoA).

Yeah, dammit! That was the one thing I regret not doing. My sister and brother-in-law went on it, said it was great.

I think it was my fourth or fifth trip there that I finally managed to get on. I was always getting there too late or the tickets were sold out.
For anybody planning on going, get the tickets a day in advance.

Thanks Rich, We are looking at the dates and trying to iron it out.  Hope I can make it happen.

If for any reason you won't enjoy the show , you will enjoy the city for sure. I've been living and printing there for almost 8 years before moving to Japan.
