| Re: NBM PrintWear trade show in Long Beach the show in Long Beach...and the others as well....are three shows in one. all at the same time. In Long Beach about 1/3 of the exhibit area is given to each segment..embroidery etc..awards/trophies...and imprinting.. so you can go to which ever you want..or example all three...it is just one big happening | |

| Re: NBM PrintWear trade show in Long Beach I will be there all 3 days.. Look for an extremely handsome guy with a white beard wearing a tee shirt with a large T on the back... I know across the street is a place that sells wings.. I love wings.. Wings and a beer for lunch for me.. A lot of us met after at the pub across the street as well for diner. My biggest problem is noise.. most of you don't know it but I am practically deaf.. So I say "what" a lot... Sometimes people say things to me and I just smile and bob my head up and down like I understand them.. That is the way it was in school.. probably why I failed so many classes.. LOL | |

| Re: NBM PrintWear trade show in Long Beach We'll be there as well. Probably Friday afternoon and maybe Saturday.
Meeting up at the Dubliner sounds like a plan. Although it does get noisy in there and gets kinda hard to hear. Other options are the Rock Bottom Brewery and the Yard House. Neither are as convenient.
What time is the show over at? | |

| Re: NBM PrintWear trade show in Long Beach Since a lot of you may not have internet access during the show, why don't we leave a note at the imprintables booth with meetup info if there are changes? Of course, we should ask first... Is Josh going to be there?
Exhibit closes at 5 on Friday and 4 on Saturday.
Since not everybody will be at the show both days, how about this for a plan:
Beer and dinner after show close (5:30?) on Friday and (4:30?) on Saturday at the Auld Dubliner which is right across the street from the convention center entrance on Pine Av. If you're there, go. Putting names and faces together is a hoot! My girlfriend says that Lou is MUCH more handsome in real life than in his videos. Look for tired, dazed and slightly nervous people who look like they're looking for someone they've never met.
Where is the wing place? Wings are goooooood! | |

| Re: NBM PrintWear trade show in Long Beach As I said before, I have seminars most ot the day on Thursday and Friday, so I'm done at 6:30 both days. On Saturday my family is coming up from San Diego to visit me at 10 am, but after brunch I'm taking my sons, ages 21 & 29, back to the show.
I'm flying out at noon today, but I'll be checking the board for updated meeting times  | |
