Wow, what a great show!! It was so great to catch up with those old friends and to meet so many new friends! I was thinking about my list of favorite moments that came out of the last 4 days. Meeting Lou and getting the chance to talk. R-tape guys were great, Bomark looking forward to a long and strong future with them. Hanging with the Cleveland connection!! Pierre and Dennis!! Meeting Brad from Ga.
And on and on and on. Here is the top 5!
5. The education classes rocked!
4. Jimmy with M&R! Made me look like a pro setting up the tri-lok on the sportsman!
3. Developing the game plan to continued success with David Heald at Nazdar. Along with Rob and Peter, always great to speak with them!
2. "Sexy Hot" Top Score. Way to go Wilflex! I can't wait to print with it!
1. Finishing an entire meal with Sam Wildt!! Really.... It was an honor!!
Can't wait until we do it all again!!! Thank you to everyone who played a roll in a great experience!!!
-
Wow! great to hear. I wish I was able to go. I'm going to be in Orlando of course. (my neck of the woods). ") So I hope it goes as good as this one did. Nice feedback.
No Pictures?
-
LOL!! Unfortunately the only pics I have are of my bathroom mirror which I was totally creeped out about!! So the story went that is was a poorly hidden camera that was live feeding to Channel 42!!
-
LOL. It looks to be ok. You did the fingernail test. ;) Were you concerned cuz it had a red dot in the mirror or was the from your camera lighting?
-
So, can I assume that Brian actually received his meal during dinner this time around?
-
Sounds really good! Wish a plane ticket was really cheap to get there from Asia. Meh.
-
Hey guys. It was a really nice to meet you all.
www.channel42.com (http://www.channel42.com) is a place to look for the vids :)
I managed to get home around 11:30 last evening and Pierre had another 25-30 minutes after that.
I had a great time there, meeting all of the people from the board was great, speaking to you ans learning from all you was priceless.
Thanks to Rich from M&R for the dinner.
Thanks to Pierre for the ride and all the support during the last two years.
Looking forward to the next year.

I had a blast, the show was good, but the folks were great. Never before in my life have I worked off so little sleep. I didn't sleep Thursday night, went to bed at about 1:30 on Friday night and then got about 30 minutes of sleep on Saturday night.
Sunday was great, I rode on the train back with Greg Kitson and Mark Deihl(Douthitt). And I ended up chatting with Greg for over an hour at the Philly airport...where he then stole my jacket. (actually i was called at the last minute to board the plane and I had to make a mad dash for the gate and left it behind)
Good times.
It was great to meet everybody and share a few drinks!
-
awesome meeting you bucks and ladies!!!
Glad you peeps got home safe!
Yep and thanks to Rich for dinner!
-
Dinner was great, a big thanks to Rick for that.
Also, what was funny was the only other person at our table other than me that didn't have a shaved head or a beard was Rick Roth's fiancee.
-
Brad...we still liked you anyway.... ;D
-
It was great hanging out with you all this weekend. Leigh Ann and I had a great time. I wish these events were more than once a year.
Thanks for dinner Rich!
-

* by the name is for the ppl that are not active on the forum. Most of them have been on it, but either lurk or post rather rarely.
Missing from the pix are a couple Keith brought with them, Denis, Sam (yes, he was there!) and TeeCal group (4 ppl).
Rodney from TSF was going to join us but did not make it. Lon had to be in Texas and could not make it either (not for lack of trying).
most of the ppl in the pix are at the show every year and were at the dinner last year. 'had few new faces too. . .

Bruce is Brian..he is Marc's Production Mgr.

Sam its hard making AC almost every year it falls on the same weekend as a Burke Mountain trip I book for me and the family. Maybe next year maybe.
-
Wish I could've stayed for the dinner. Looks like I missed a good time. I would have been part of the more hair on face then on head group.

Great time with everyone. Nice seeing the fimilar faces and meeting some of you in person. Thanks everyone for a great time.
Thanks Rich for the diner and Peter for the shirts.
-
Thanks for the kind words Megan, it was great to meet you and Brian out in Atlantic City.....
Cant believe I only made the #4 spot on the top 5....ha ha
I guess I will have to work a little harder next year to break that top 3!

HEY JIMMY!!! Honestly, that pallet stop moment we shared beat out all 5!! I would list it at .5!!!
So as promised here is a pic of my "Printing" shoes!!
To fill everyone in..... While I was setting up the Tri-Loc on the Sportsman in AC, I commented on how low profile the press was. I informed Jimmy that when running production, I used to stand on my toes. After many fun fill nights of cramps in my cavs, I thought up a solution!! BUY PLATFORM SHOES!!! I admit, not so attractive in the summer time!! But even better is when I print all over prints I have to stand on 2 gallon ink bucks!! No twisted ankles yet! (knocking on wood)

HAHA> Wow. Thats a first. Never had I seen that before. How about stacked floor padding? Could be much better ergonomically.
-
we used to do that for a girl here. we took a shipping pallet and stapled some ergo floor mats to the top and she would stand on that and print.
-
Not uncommon for the manual press in some shops either.

I have the Vastex manual on wheels, that added 3 1/2 inches to the pallet height. Not being a giant I did just that. It made the world of difference.
Megan, I would imagine your feet must be killing you working in platform shoes.

it prob shows definition in the calves....LOL
