only 86 vebdors, for comparison, orlando had 200 and atlantic city 300 or so. Long beach is at 350 and it is still 9 months away.

I will be there on Thursday.  Set back some money for screens and some new squeegees from G&M.   Really interested in looking at a brown electraprint.  Anyone going to Indy? I will be there for a couple of days.

June 9th through the 11th.   Let's get a carpool going.  I did one day last year.  This year I was thinking about more just to take a few classes.

I can't wait for the show tomorrow.  Even though it will be a small one there are some vendors really want to talk with.  I was hoping to take in some good lectures but I ended up not being to take Friday off and I work a 24 hour shift.  I may end up back down there on Saturday.  My screen supplier will be there so I will be bringing more screens home as well as a bunch of new squeegees he is bringing along.

Not a bad day at all!  Brought home a ton of stuff to look at.  I got to spend sometime with the Brown Electraprint press and the Tuf's also.  Actually met more people just walking around looking for printers who do contract work.  Met up with Pierre and he made me droll all over the MHM press.  That thing is some serious machinery now. Overall not a bad afternoon.

I am not sure if I will make it back down or not.  I am on a 24 hour shift today and Sunday.  I have  couple of print runs I SHOULD do tomorrow but they can wait until Monday!  If you are coming back through the Mansfield area let me know.  I am just off of 71.

I am back home, just spent two days there. mostly classes and networking, 'found some potential clients (for high end  work) and some more networking opportunities.

on the equipment side, the highlight was the all over sublimation printing. Not much to see otherwise.

got about $150 worth of specialty inks and foil to take home and play with. Keith from ICC did a special effects seminar and I pulled a Sammy and got all the inks (Sam takes all the inks from the M&R booth). They have a really nice reflective ink. I'll post a short description in the ink section.

Okay, I figured who you were talking about from the seminar I'd heard of, but these three companies have really tried to make it confusing.

ICC, International Coatings Company makes inks, and can be confused with
ICC, Intercontinental Chemical Corporation which makes screen printing chemicals and reclaiming equipment, which sounds a lot like
CCI, Chemical Consultants Incorporated, which, of course, also makes screen printing chemicals

Sheesh, it's almost not fair
