I wasn't planning on going this year, but I got a call today and it looks like I'll be working the Workhorse booth. If any of you guys are there come by and say what's up. I'll be running the cutlass.

I'll be there with my son, we have booked into the Courtyard.
I love this show and even more the spare ribs near the water.
Not looking forward to the 14 hour flight home.
Looking forward to meeting all of you that are coming.

We are looking forward to having everyone check out our booth - 547. We've been finalizing product development and preparing the display for many weeks. We are fortunate to be assisted by Ms. Nancy Gray who is an SGIA academy member. Ms. Gray can offer technical advise in many areas of screen printing & is also fluent in Spanish.

New Products on Display are:
  * Hinged Double Sleeve Pallets for use with any machine including MHM & ROQ
  * Off-Press Pallet Paper Changing System for use with any machine including MHM & ROQ
  * 14" Manual Roller Squeegees with bike handle grips.
  * Kornit Zipper Hoodie Pallets with Guitar String for holding down the zipper.

We will have approximately 50 Products on Display.

Eric - the NAMM show is awesome. We displayed our Bad Ass Music Stands there in 2006. The PRS display was one of the highlights and always had several A-List rock stars hanging around.

Erik that sounds incredible. It's my first time going, and we have a couple of clients who will be displaying stuff we made for them. I'm also hoping to pick up some more clients.

You should send me one of your guitar stands  ;D

Up in the air here at the moment... Have the hotel booked but haven't committed to the flights yet.  The wife and I are traveling to the Netherlands for 10 days at the end of the month and our workload when we return will make or break the Cali trip.

BUT now that I just found out that NAMM runs at the same time (thank you gentlemen), I don't see how I can miss two for the price of one.  I'm a major studio gearhead and we are in the process of launching an in-house clothing line catered to that crowd.  Can't think of a better place for promotion on that front. 

Yeah I'll be there.  8)

You guys are talking about going to NAMM as vendors? For screen printing? I was under the impression that trade show was ridiculously hard to get into if it was not a musical related.

I'll mainly be going to check out the gear and for the overall experience.  But since we're also launching a clothing brand aimed at this market, I'll be promoting that however possible as well. Mainly through giveaways, conversations and making connections to get the line promoted.  In regards to any type of vendor booth, it definitely won't be this year but if things pan out with the brand its something I'd consider in the future.  It would be focused on the product though, and not any type of service.

If anybody would enjoy a chance to outdrink Alex and I, I'm sure we would be willing to accommodate....unless Alex decides he is going to hop back on the wagon and leave me to my own degenerate ways.

I was "asked" to leave, I didn't leave you intentionally!

Knowing Antony and Alex will be there may be the biggest factor for me not going, but there is still a 5% chance.

Can't make it to family medical reasons and new equipment arrival. But will be hosting a Shirt Board party for SGIA here in New Orleans later this year.
