Yeah our shop is only open on friday;s by appointment..and we told everyone we would be gone this week.. .. even tho our shop is offically closed on fridays.. 99% of the time im there.. But im just now coming off 18 days working in a row.. with 10 -12 hour days. So im more than ready for a 3 day break.. Now if i can just turn off that voice in my head that is telling me i should at least get a bit of work done tommorow.. ill be ok lol.
I think you're going to get a few walk-ins so pad the final number a bit. Remember, there's quite a few lurkers out there that are shy yet oh-so-curious!
I was at show from 10 till 1 today then drove to city of commerce to meet with bag and box people. I came back and had dinner at pub. The wings food place is closed due to health problems.. good to know.. I am leaving Sat. Morning as I pretty much done my business and met with a few vendors about my product. I hope to see a few on friday. I will be wearing the other blue tee with big yellow T on back.. and will be there about 11 AM. I will hang around the main door downstairs for awhile if anyone wants to say hi.. Rod, looks like I will miss you... I have something for you so I will just mail it...I will check this in the morning. Lou

Come on, Lou, you've gotta hang out on Saturday to meet your biggest fan(s).
What's one more day of tradeshowin for a chance to hang out with your forum pals. Nudge nudge.
Seriously though, it would be cool if you could make it to dinner Saturday night
Hey Lou you have to come because I looked for you and you were hiding hehe also you can hear all about all of the comparison shopping I did on the direct to garment printers, you wouldnt want to miss that would you (jk) I also want to get one of your t-square its. I am really looking forward to meeting you all, it will be nice to put faces to names. I'm sure alot of you have already met from the past but seen as I am fairly new around here It will be really great to meet you all. I
Love to but I have so much to do when I get back home... This show was a breeze to go through. Lot of really large sign and banner stuff way over my head and bank account... I accomplished a lot in very little time and I am about to take another big step. Hopefully I will get to say hi to some of you on Friday.. Lou

Hi Eric, are you up for dinner after the tradeshow on Saturday night?
if I stayed Sat. It would mean I would drive back to stockton late and it is a 5 hour drive.. I can pretty much finish up my goal at the show on Friday... I need to make another stop on my way back. Sorry I will miss a few of you. I think the Iss show has more to offer for me and my type of buisness so I know I will be back for that. so see a few of you on Friday.

I won't be able to do dinner on Saturday night, but might have a chance to stop in after tearing down the booth. Also, if anyone is going today, NBM sponsors a after hours "Bash" with food and drinks. It would be cool to get together there as well.
Everyone feel free to stop by the booth and say hello (or meet). We're in booth #321.
