Ok, so far for dinner on Saturday night we've got:

Jose +1
Bobbie
Susan
Rodney

That's 5 so far. Any other takers? If we get enough, I might try to reserve a place in advance.

Anybody got anything special they don't eat ?

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

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

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.

Hey Rodney,

Probably not. My 9yo daughter will be at a friend's house and we need to pick her up around 1 or 2 PM, so Saturday will be a short day at the show.

My wife and I will see if we can pick her up later, but I think the other family has something planned.

I'll let you know this evening.

See you all at the show!

Eric

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.

OK, now I'm off to the show
