Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work. - Thomas Edison
Alex,now you need to hit ISS AC! use it to measure what you improved from now til then! great business write off!!!! hint hint hintsam
It was a good time. I sure couldn't complain about that weather as I left my house today to return to work the thermometer read -18.... Good time B.S.ing with everyone and putting faces to names! Not sure if you guys do it, but I kinda have "pictures" of what everyone looks like in my head if I haven't seen or met them. Ya, turns out they are NOTHING like reality. The farthest one off I think was Parker1- that late 50's skinny balding guy I made up turns out to be a solid 30's guy with a beard! Binkspot Brian turned out to be quite different than I had pictured also, and quite the ball buster! Have to say my High/Low point was being at the corner of the table with Greg Kitson, Pierre(Bluemoon) and Mark Coudray. To put it nicely, the conversation was intense! Oh, ya then throw in Socalfmf and jsheridan, lets just say I felt like I had been running the "class store" back in 2nd grade selling pencils!!! It is one thing to have a smooth running shop but when all those guys started talking, I started questioning if I should start selling my equipment out individually or the "business" as a whole! I have a LOT of work to do before I can consider us smooth running after hearing a lot of the conversations! Seriously though it was a great time, found myself saying a few times "stop me if I am talking about printing too much" only to realize I was surrounded by people talking the same thing! Great time! Mr. Hoffman, thank you for the dinner!
I hate you all . Well, maybe next year I'll make Long Beach.
i'm going to take that as a complement Alex? See you in AC and won't say a word about your red machines.

Alan do you go to the Fort Worth/Dallas one?How is it?I've only missed one Ft Worth show in the last 6 years. It's small, but I enjoy it. There was a DB, Sportsman, Falcon, Sroque, Freedom, Javelin Electraprint, and a Titan at the last show which isn't a bad turnout for a small show. There wasn't as much CTS equipment as I wanted with only the M&R unit and the Acti Camera Legend being there. DTG machines were there but I walked right by them. I wish a CH 3 would have been there and an MHM of any kind, a full sized Anatol, but I guess it could have been worse. Last years show was geared towards the entry level autos. I remember there being an MHM E-type the first show I went to and then a Gauntlet Z a few years back. 2 years ago they had the CH 3D former world record machine at the same show there was a 12/14 CH 3.
It was the CHIII, also an Alpha8, Sporty EXG, and others. I have the shirt that came off the EXG, they let me unlock all the screens and set them back up using the Tri-Lock. Very cool show.Chris

Why would they need a booth. They could just call screen printers in the areas they want to have contract printers.I've heard nightmare stories about printing for them. Maybe they burned through enough printers and are looking for new printers?I was thinking the same thing. Like maybe they got tired of getting hung up on and wanted screen printers to come to them.
