I will volunteer to judge the beer drinking comp. but I won't be participating. It seems whenever I drink I start thinking of different names for womens body parts!

LOL... More than likely, I will be out after 2 rounds. I used to be the life of the party, now days after 3 beers I fart and pass out.

I would like to have a gathering of all those going to the show from "The Shirt Board".  I'm sure Pierre will be going. It would be fun just to hang out for an evening.

OK, so I'm still confused. Would there, or would there not be drinking involved?

The Shirt Board does not promote or endorse drinking ....but I myself will be having a few somewhere on one or more of those evenings. All are welcome to join me. :)  I am going to bring the Mrs and make it a mini vacation. Never been to Nawlens.

Positively.. but perhaps not at a professional level.

No fair Dave.  Professionals should not compete with amateurs.  The only fair way would be for you to drink a 12 pack to everyone else's single beers.

Damn I want to go.  I'm tired of only going to the ISS Ft. Worth, I need to go to the big shows.

The best show for textile printers in the States is the Impressions show in Long Beach in January. I have been doing just about every show for over 25 years and Long Beach Impression show beats them all by a huge margin. Booths at that show sell out every year and the attendance of most manufacturers is the highest in the industry. Might want to consider it.

Nutz! That falls right on the heels of Biketoberfest. I don't know if my liver will be out of the dryer in time.

2nd the motion!

SGIA is a massive event of it's own and worth a trip, maybe just maybe if a nice order lands on my plate, but think we're reserving the time off for Christmas in Spain this yr.  8)
