Chuck, I think Thursday's a good night. No conflict with the ARA Gala and a good way to celebrate the first day of the show floor being open. David "The Stunt Engraver" Lavaneri DGL Engraving Port Hueneme, CA

David, Thursday sounds good for me too. I too want to offer you my help. If there is anything I can do or bring from the east coast let me know. Also Leslie and I will be there on Tuesday night. We stay at the Hilton. If you need any help there, I can do that too. I can give you my cell # so that you can get in touch with me. Rolf

Rolf,

Thank you (and Chuck) for your offers of help. At this point, if we end up at Quark's, I can't think of anything that needs to be done.

We seem to be developing what looks to be a good turnout. If we can get 50 people or more, to commit to a Thursday evening get-together, we may want to consider taking the party, directly across the street from the Convention Center, to "The Beach" which is a club where we can reserve a private room, for an all-you-can-eat/drink extravaganza.

We did that with DSSI a few years ago and I thought it was great.

Plenty of space, tables with comfortable chairs, decent buffet, pool table and best off all; all of our forum member friends in one place for 3 or 4 hours, which left plenty of time to hit the town afterwards.

Dave~
I know I am new to the group and would like to help out all I can. I don't know yet what my extra curricular activities are going to be yet.

I do know there are going to be a night or two that I have to go out to dinner with the owner of A Blast. Other than that things are still up in the air. I should know more as we get closer to the show. Still waiting for things to fall into place.

Let me know if I can be of any help before and maybe meet after we get there.

Once agin things are not clear yet but I think we are stying at the Hilton. If not very close to the LVCC>

Garry,

Welcome to the forum from a former Iowan. I know your turf very well. We usually stop for lunch in Clive to break up our family trips to and from Cedar Rapids, where most of my family still lives.

Hey, don't forget about us. Diane and Rob Bosworth of ACCESS Business Solutions, Inc. We haven't figured it all out yet, but we will be there. I think we are going to try to stay downtown this year. Seems like we have tired everything else, so why not downtown. Maybe next year will be Bullhead City. See you there. We'll be the good looking couple. Robert H.

I'm not sure if you are adding vendors only to the list but I will be at the show (first time) and am looking forward to it. I would love to meet all of you and get together. If it's a vendors only kind of thing, I will see you at the show. Thanks Rebecca Leedy YNH Laser Graphics Company

Rebecca,

By all means. Come one, come all! The current list is a mix of vendors and "regular" people as well. :-)

Looking forward to seeing you there.

You can usually recognize a fellow member by the goofy smile on their face. If that doesn't work, we have a secret greeting: three cartwheels, followed by a loud "hooty whoo!".

;-)

There's been some talk about a nametag design just for EE members, but nothing's been finalized yet.

Rebecca,

We haven't formalized a badge design. Last year, a few of us just made our own.

Faro USA furnished some nice pewter pins that we wore during the show. The pins were handed out at the Faro USA booth, which "forced" us to look at their offerings, which, by the way, were quite nice. :-)

I'll see if we can arrange something with Faro USA this year.
