Cody, We'll have to meet this time around for sure. What makes it so hard to pin down a specific date and time for a get-together, is the various dates and times people are arriving and leaving town, not to mention, with so many things to do, while in Vegas, personal schedules fill up quickly.

I would like to invite anyone interested to visit our store while in Vegas. We are very close to the LV Hilton (less than 1 mile).

I know we like to visit stores when we travel. So I thought others might like to do the same.

Though we probably will be closing that friday to go to the show.

I would like to meet the group at night at Quarks, but honestly I like to go home right from work....are you guys going to meet on Friday night also???

Joyce,

My wife and I would love to take you up on that offer! It's always good to get out to someone else's shop to see how they do things...especially for newbies like us!

Joyce, Thanks for the invite. I'd love to see your shop, as I'm sure would others. Although we may decide on a "prime" night for the get-together, it's safe to say you'll be able to meet some of our members at Quark's, any evening, after the trade show floor closes.

We just made our reservations! So my husband Jeff and I will definitely be in Vegas this time after a much regretted 2-year absence and look forward to seeing everyone at the show and maybe Quarks too. We're flying in on Wednesday and heading home on Monday. This will be Jeff's first exposure to THE awards show. Right now he is just an unpaid partner in my business working a "real" fulltime job but I hope he'll be able to drop it and join me full-time soon. This was my first year of bringing the business into my home after 5 years in a retail location and it was a HUGE success. Now we're making plans of building a shop

While in Vegas, we made reservations to see "O" and we also want to go to the Canyon so it will be a busy few days! I also love the idea of visiting your store, Joyce, if we can fit it in!

I'm so excited! :-)

We would also like to come by your place for a visit. We almost stopped by there last year but got side-tracked. You better be careful. You might get enough interest from the forum attendees that a party might break out. B-) Ed Holley Victor Valley Trophy Co. and Coffee Mugs Online www.coffeemugsonline.com

Rolf,

Knowing what a good time you had last year, I should have put your name much closer to the top of the list.

It's OK. We'll squeeze you in. :-)

David,

There was some talk last year about a separate nametag for EE members to wear...something that would let us easily recognize one another on the show floor.

Have you given any thought to a design for this year? I would think something with the EE website logo would be pretty nice.

Your thoughts?

Cody, Last year, a few of us made our own namebadges, but we didn't have specific guidelines for a design. I like the idea of namebadges with the new logo. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

Do you have a vector file of the EE logo that's on this page? If so, I think that would be a wonderful way to recognize each other.

I have a vector file of the logo, but will not be home again for at least a week. I believe I sent the complete package to David. Philadelphia, PA (Really Bensalem) Harvey's Tips Page When you finally understand it completely... it changes.
