I don't need any new equipment. I like my supplies. Not looking for anything. Why should I go to ISS LB? (I feel like a pinata now)
-
to hang out with all the cool kids? :)
-
LB is a great show, I have to travel far and always go to LB because it is one of the biggest.
You will always learn something new, keep up to date with the industry even if you are not buying anything.
I always attend a few lectures, learnt a lot from Pierre and Richard last year.
If it didn't cost me so much and I wasn't moving my plant I'd be there, hopefully next year.
Rich even buys the MHM users supper, great guy.
You also meet some cool guys (seems that this is a all male club) and put some faces to those names on the TSB.

Careful with that statement :) LOL.... (I think Alex already has me covered tho ;)
-
No, no, no, now Pierre has offered, be can buy us ALL beer!!!!
Dave, if you come to LB, I'll be your friend...
On a more serious note, seems like you rarely have time to get away, if you got time now, DO IT!
-
Oh, oh, I got another one-
You live in Iowa, Long Beach is in California.

:) VERY TRUE.. and was the icing on the cake for us to get away!

If you don't need to go then you don't need to go...
But my argument for attending would be that I don't know of another US based trade show that offers more variety of equipment & supplies than ISS Long Beach. By far I would say that ISS Long Beach is the best garment / screen print show to attend.
I wouldn't look at it as trying to switch out for something you already have, but trying to find something you don't currently have/do. Find new business opportunity through ideas, techniques, inks, products, innovations, etc.
-
The bottom line for any member of this board, is not only is ISS Long Beach apparently the best place to see the current industry trends, but the opportunity to do it alongside many of the same "board buddies" that you have been schmoozing with for the last decade or more.
So Dave, are we signing you up for dinner?
Saturday, January 23, 7:00 PM Yardhouse (https://www.google.com/maps/place/Yard+House/@33.7614871,-118.1911182,18z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0000000000000000:0xef87c1b9a4482e47?hl=en)
And all of you others, remember to PM me or Pierre to get on the list.
-
stay home, we don't want you here anyway :P
-
If you do make it, we can talk about licensing as I'm gearing up to build a shop to handle lots and lots of shirts.
-
So we can go drink some beer 8)
-
I was planning on coming up to visit you that week. :o

You're a huge wuss if you don't go...peer pressure.

Dave, I hear you when you say that you don't need to go, which to me is probably the main reason why you should go. Think about it this way, the times you attend a show when your primary purpose is to buy some serious equipment that tends to be all that you focus on while you're at the show.
Come out to the show this year when you don't "need" anything and I can almost guarantee that you will find enough nuggets on the show floor to make you glad that you came. This is the show where all of the major equipment, ink, screen-printing supply, and garment manufacturers will be at.
The way that I see it is you can stay in Iowa working "IN" your business, or you can head West to Long Beach and work "ON" your business. If you make it out there I hope that you can find a couple of minutes to swing by the Nazdar SourceOne Booth # 1336 to say hi.
-
So Dave, are you going?
-
You should go - period.
You'll be glad you did, for all the reasons that have already been mentioned.
-
M&R has you on a loop pulling your hat over your eyes and doing a blind setup on the TV.. You're a star now
-
Why aren't you here? Your missing all the fun!
Hope you're having a relaxing weekend.

You mean it's more fun there that it is here at the shop? That is so hard to believe. New press coming in a week and so much to do, as well as regular work. As Cubs fans say, Maybe Next Year
-
Which press are you guys getting?!

I am pricing a new cutlass right now. I was really impressed with it. I know there is better out there, but this would greatly increase productivity for us.

If this isn't a reason I don't know what is. Great man!
