The Kiwis will guarantee you a good time...The Poms ?? First ..find real beer, second...educate them to "shout"..third, get pissed ,fall over, have fun... :P :P

on another note
You will have so much fun with your laser.

Hi Fizgig
Thanks for comments. The excitment is starting to build

Today bought all the pounds the bank had hope i have enough for the drinking days ahead.
i have been to Adelaide about 12 years a go great holiday destination so if the Americans believe half of what you say they will still have a great time
i have been looking forward to this trip for about 4 years

Having a retail engraving business with great staff means i can get away with out any worries, But its been busy writing all the cheques and taxes etc
so really looking forward to the first drink on the plane and hope the air points up grade comes through
Regards
John

John,

Please be sure to stop by and visit with us in Long Beach. I will help you with anything regarding your Versa and you won't even have to "shout" or "piss" or however you folks like to call "downing a cold one", "slamming a brewski" or just plain and simply enjoying a "beverage at the bar".

seriously bring any notes, questions,issues,ideas,etc. and we will answer them for you.

have a safe trip and we will see you in Long Beach.

Peter,
If you are wanting to see an ARA show up close and personal, the Las Vegas show would be it.
However, when you do come, please find me first so I can clue you in as to Joe Hayes.....
One of the great things I as a newbie have discovered is the wealth of friendship and information available. The comraderie it great.

Now, did I see your name on the list for the NBM show? I don't think Joe will be at that one. :D

Hi Chuck, No, I havent put my name down for the NBM show. We are both an Engraving and sign co., I was not sure which show catered to both industries more strongly. We are focussing our business more and more to the engraving side of things and it seems the ARA show has all aspects of this industry covered. High end Heavy duty industrial Engraving/ milling- right thru to the promtoional side of the business..would that sum it up ? Given that, I today have told Kathy...thats it ! we will go to the USA next year to visit the ARA show..and strike up some friendships and have a good time ...and visit those places we see in the movies ...and look at what Australia would be like if we had 300,000,000 people instead of 20,000,000.. and...you know...stuff. ;-) regards Peter Peter Vasic Engraving Services Co.

Mike, I think that those of us in attendance at the NBM show should declare John's money no good ( except of course for buying equipment and supplies)..... We should show John that good ol American hospitality is alive and kicking........

Hello Joe, Our business is involved in General sign work, Vinyl, metal signs, vehicle signage, backlit, Chalkboard art/menus, Cafe/ restaurant / hotel menus and so forth. Prior to purchasing Engraving Services Co. 2 years ago, I ran my own business as an artist and vinyl sign shop. Specializing in Chalkart menus and other menus systems for the hospitality trade in Adelaide. There was also a componant of cartoons, caricatures and general painting within that sphere as well. We incorporated those aspects into E.S.C. which already had a sign componant to it as well when we purchased it regards Peter Peter Vasic Engraving Services Co.

I bet some of us would be willing to kick in $5.00 each as a contribution if you're a little short. We could run a who came the furthest pool. I think he would win but what happens if Rodney comes? Maybe we'll have to do a first and second place. Just think - an Aussie and a South African.

Dee, I can almost assure you that Rodney would win. But I like the idea of the pool. Either way, you can count me in for $5.00 to help defray the costs.....or at least I could "shout" a beer.... :D

Hey Rodney,
What do you call buying a drink for you in your part of the world?

Looks like Kat and I are definitely coming over for the ARA vegas show... and we are definitely going to New York...perhaps if Flights are reasonable enough or car hire and distance within reach..we will catch up with as many folks as we can..

our plans are..to be in Vegas between 1 -4 March 2006..then fly to NY and meet up with others in our scene..then whatever, we have maybe up to 3 weeks up our sleeves..

Would it be too precocious of me to impose on any of your hospitality and information?

Kindest regards

Peter and Kathy
