ISS Fort Worth (am I the only one?)
« on: August 16, 2013, 10:06:19 PM »
I don't see anyone talking about it and we are almost 30 days away.

This will be my first show and we are going to make the most of it... Every minute is filled with classes or something... Barely will have time to hit the floor it seems!

Wo else is going to be there?

I'm thinking about it, we've been twice.  The second visit is where I bought my sportsman e.  The only thing about going is that both times we were swamped and barely got a full day in at the show.  We're going to do our darndest to make it.
It's not a job if you love doing it.

I will be there, I'm trying to bring one of my guys with me so he can see what's new and maybe motivate him to get his head out of his anus but if we're busy I'll have to run up there solo.

Hey, I'll be there doing the seminar 'thang'.

I usually do Riscky's BBQ at 6 PM on Thursday night.  http://www.risckys.com/.

Lots of great choices, 4-5 blocks from Convention Center, and not crowded on Thursday night so they do not chase you out.  We can talk 'shop' as long as the beverages hold out.

Good BBQ, lots of beverage choices, and you probably will get sauce on your 'decorated apparel'!

We won't need reservations unless a huge amount of people plan to participate.

My printer and I will be attending some of those classes (he might be at all of them actually)... we will most likely join you for BBQ as well.  When in Texas...

I had dinner last night with the Erin from ISS and Marcia from Impressions at the MAGIC show and they both indicated they would be joining us for this get together.

Hope to meet several new 'old' friends in person!

Well only a week away from the ISS show in Fort Worth and it is going to be a monster.

Lots of exhibitors & attendees!

Just wanted to repeat the invitation to join other TSB members for BBQ on Thursday night at Riskys', see details in the previous post.

See ya at the show!  Make sure and introduce yourself if you see me on the floor or in one of my seminar presentations.

I have been thinking about going.  Never been to a tradeshow actually, so this would be my first.  My brother-in-law lives in Ft. Worth so I will probably do dinner with him.  I would only be able to make it Friday and Saturday.  I hadn't planned on doing anything but looking at presses and other equipment.  What are the must do things besides the exhibit floor?

Sounds like a lot of fun. I'll be attending as the "better" half of the 2 Regular Guys Podcast. I love Risky's and it was my grandfather's favorite too and he is who introduced me to BBQ.
