Post by: Maxie on November 01, 2017, 10:48:41 AM
Booked my ticket today to LA, coming again with my son Tamir.
Hope to see a lot of you there.
Who is organizing the TSB dinner?

Good question. Who's going from here?  There might be a chance that I will be going but a slim one.

I would assume (haven't asked him yet), but would assume that the great Frog himself might make an appearance. It is his neck of the woods.

I’ll be there all weekend.

As for dinner.. we have to find a new place, the tap house has horrible seating and the menu was very limited.

Friday night might be better, last year Ryonet had a event on Sat night and invited a lot of people from the TSB

We can do Fri. :) . Myself and our Production Mgr Will Booth will be coming in Fri morning but I'm trying to get that changed to Thurs night.
Someone needs to stay behind and run the show, so it looks like Tony will be holding down the fort.

Ryonet is on Sat, Danny will also be at LB.

How about Mr Greg Kitson this year? 

Does a bear defecate in the woods?  ;D

I haven't talked to him, but he has classes so he will at least be in the vicinity. 


Also, some big news.... Mr. Dave Filip(Bimmridder) just got clearance from the parole board to leave his state... He also confirmed with the state of CA that they will in fact have a adequate supply of alcohol on hand for him to visit. Dave will be in LB this year! Anyone who knows him knows what a treat this will be.  ;D

I just spoke to Greg and he's in for dinner. I also have Josh Keane from Thread Monster joining as well. He is staying with a whole group 4-6 printers so he might bring a few with him. This could get big if everyone shows up for sure.

Title: Re: ISS Long Beach 2018
Post by: Maxie on January 06, 2018, 07:13:52 AM
I think Friday if Ryonet is on Saturday.
Dan/John are you going to organize a place?
Title: Re: ISS Long Beach 2018
Post by: jsheridan on January 06, 2018, 01:03:26 PM
I’d say lets do the Bubba Gump Shrimp Company. Can handle large groups with ease.
Got a request in for Friday night with 30 ppl, update when I hear back.

Friday night is the night.

I think we all would be fine with Bubba Gump.  Not sure of that location (how far from the show) since some people will be trying to walk , get a cab or shuttle.
Mark Coudrey mentioned these places.

Yard House in Shoreline Village.

Kings Fish House on Pine.

Parker's Lighthouse in Shoreline Village.

JSheridan mentioned this one.
Bubba Gump.

From the sound of it, it could be about 30 people that are saying they are going but you know how that changes up as time gets closer. Could be 10, 20 or 35 people.
That's what makes it hard to get a place that will accommodate. To hold a room/space where we all can be together for sure, sometimes they require reservations and an exact number.
Some may even charge for the room.

They are all close to the Convention Center.
Title: Re: ISS Long Beach 2018
Post by: Dottonedan on January 06, 2018, 03:38:44 PM
Yes, that's right. All seem very close.
Yardhouse and Parkers is right behind convention center.   

I've checked on three of them and they all seem to require you to contact the location directly for parties of 30 or less just before.  Above 30, they want to reserve and schedule a specific meal plan. I don't think that will work.  Looks like we will wing it and it just come down to the location.

I'm good with Bubba Gumps.  Lets plan on that one.  6pm
Title: Re: ISS Long Beach 2018
Post by: jsheridan on January 08, 2018, 05:27:02 PM
Spoke with gumps over the weekend and we have a general reservation for 30 ppl on Friday night at 6pm.
Regular menu.

We would love to join everybody at ISS Long Beach but we are busy and would hate to shut down again so soon after our week off over Christmas.  We may try to schedule it in for next year.

Serj,

See the picture of map at the top.
The smaller circle with red dot in center. That is where the Bubba Gump Restaurants is located.   The larger circle is the convention center.

Friday, 6pm.   We do not have a specific spot at the restaurant but I think if you ask the people working at the restaurant, they will point you in the right direction to us.

Me and our Production Mgr Will Booth.

Doug aka Dragon Ink,  Doug Shaw aka Shirt Shack. Maxie and son, and many more.

Jump out and grab me if you see me. I'm also looking for the elusive Dave from Bimmridder Sports who "said" he will be here, so in holding him to that.

  >:( Doug doesn't count. Though registered, he spends his time on Facebook and rarely drops by TSB! He's too cool for us.

Aloha Deanna,
Frog gets away with messin' with us younger guys 'cuz he's old and crotchety... we've learned to stay off his lawn.

;-)

I still love you guys! and Dan... it's DragIn Ink..... but you know that. ;-)

It was great to finally shake hands and meet face to face with people that I've considered friends since the old Fresener boards fired up in '96 or so...
Missed you Andy!
And meet new folks too!

PS I don't post much because my sarcasm gets taken the wrong way more often than not.
While quietly and slowly re-entering the vortex we call the garment decorating industry, I may post more and try to tone it down... a little ;-)

Returned to Israel after ISS Long Beach, I usually try and visit a printer while in the USA.
This year I spent a day with Danny in Denver, Charlie Taublieb came by and we spent some time in Danny's shop and then went to a shop that runs about 14 MHM's.
I find that I learn a lot visiting other shops and thanks to Danny for having me, as we all know he's a  master of the trade.
I first went to one of Charlies lectures at Long Beach in 1994, he's taught me a lot over the years.
I am attaching some photographs, Danny, Charlie and yours truly.    Danny in his shop and Charlie next to his cool car.

Nice Maxie,
It must be great to have control of your business so well, that you can take that much time away and feel comfortable.
Good pics!  Is that Charlies yellow car or Danny's?

That’s Charlie’s yellow car.       Goes with the shirts and boots he wears.
Danny’s is the black one behind it, a GMC monster.

Dan, that was great timing to catch me with one eye open and the other shut. lol

It was great to meet everyone.  We had a fantastic time.  We spent 4 more days out there with our daughter from Vegas so it was a trade show/Vacation combo.
