"Hooty-Whoo!" Y'all. So you are already changing the salutation. Great. Here I can barely sit after insisting that we learn the new salutation so we can at least fit in with one group. I believe I am suffering from an EE injury. I never was very good at somersaults, much less be able to do a cartwheel. So I hollered "hooty-whoo!" , surveyed my landing site and let er rip. I forgot that I was a little larger than my drivers license states. So as I was entering the third cartwheel, I ran out of flight deck, pitched off the terraced hillside, and came to a crash landing 30 ft. down the embankment tangled up in a woodpile next to the firepit. Don't worry, I should be able to shuffle along by the end of February. So as I said before, we'll be the good looking couple with one of us shuffling along like Tim Conway.

Dave,

The kind folks at Epilog Laser have offered to provide special EE badges for everyone to put on their ARA nametags.

Wanna take them up on their offer?

That sounds like a wonderful offer. They need to be big enough for even me to see. [I think I need new glasses or eyes.]

Great! We'll take care of it!

Perhaps you or our fearless leader will have a better idea on how to communicate this to everyone but for now, I'll just say ...

Stop by the Epilog Laser booth (#477) to get your "EE Badge of Honor" ;-) 

I'm guessing that anyone/everyone at the Epilog booth will know where the pins/badges will be ... but if not, just look for me (the shortest one in the booth) and I'll take care of you!

Jeanette,

Sounds great. Thank you and thank you Epilog.

Not to look a gift horse in the mouth, but will we have a say in the design of the badge? I'm assuming the badge will be laser engraved. :-)

Has anyone done the Vegas show and the one on the East Coast? How do they compare?

I am on the fence about Vegas and the East Coast show is at the end of March.

Keep in mind that I just got a free room offer in the mail from the MGM Grand so Vegas is looking mighty good right now.

Also, w/ respect to the Vegas show, do y'all go from the full Wed-Sat?

Thanks!
Ed

They Don't........Las Vegas is HUGE, but the regional shows offer a little more "closeness" if you will, but so far Vegas is the only time "this" crew gets together face to face for fun and fivolity....

It wil be great to see you there.....

Ed,

The ARA show, held at Meadowlands Exposition Center, March 30-April 1st, is a new venue.

It was created to accomodate those on the East Coast who can't make it to the Las Vegas show.

Probably worth attending, but as Chuck says, if you're looking to meet the largest contingent of Engraving Etc. members, ARA Las Vegas has become the annual meeting place.

Count me in for fun and fivolity.... what ever the fivolity is.

I do both shows, just because I can drive to the east coast show.

The Vegas show, even though it has shrunk to about half size, is THE one.

Vegas takes about a day and then another to re-hit the places of high interest to talk more.

The Atlantic City, (or Meadowlands, wherever that year), can be done in three hours. I spend a full day there talking to friends.
