Have Eric bring you some, it's a ways away. Few donuts are worth a drive that distance on L.A. freeways.

people complain about LA traffic all the time. I live in Houston. Every highway is under construction all the time, forever.

Problem with LA driving is that it is huge, and folks just become accustomed and numb to spending a few hours each day on the road. (some of it at very low speed)

And I used to think that alcohol was the main interest at the show.

I'm a few and far between poster, but my brother and I will be there walking the show. Been three years since the last Long Beach show so excited to see what's going on and talk shop with peopel. and yes, alcohol will trump the LA donuts though they do sound good... Our spot of choice is Sushi Studio (Now OHO Sushi Studio). great happy hours and killer, killer sushi.

That plus staying on the Queen Mary. Can't beat it imo. cool rooms, great art deco bar, you can tour a huge amount of the ship, and if you really want can go sit in the AA guns that are still on the top deck from its service in WWII. our grandfather was shipped to europe in that thing.. like deck M or something, I think he said once he got on board he never saw daylight again until arriving there.

One of the better looking shows in a long time!
Was there on Friday.  Vendors were hoping for a rush of people.
DIGITAL . It is the future. After 40 years in screen printing, a little hard for me to swallow.
MHM finally has a distributor that gives a $hitt!
Some nice blank company startups.
Some new screen washing machines.
A push towards automation! In all areas Not sure where that goes? What is the ROI?
Push on small and startup companies. Dont like the idea of one company, owning the ink market!
Energy in that booth was dead. Maybe a chance for smaller startups?
Embroidery machines were very interesting! Lots of interest
Will be interesting how screen printing merges with digital?
I see lots of people buying diigital machines and starting up in their garages or bed rooms at home.
Heat transfers looked really good! The future also.

Just a few observations...
