hey, there,
We are actually leaving on Thursday morning, so we are available Tuesday and Wednesday night. But don't make the plans around us if everyone else is in for Thursday. We will see you again in Long Beach!

I don't remember any of you joining us for dinner at Long Beach this year. :( In fact, Erin, did you even find us at the show itself to mingle a bit?
(Must have been a good time because I don't remember. LOL!)

We didn't get together in Long Beach, you are correct. But that doesn't mean we can't/won't in 2014.
Let me know what you guys decide, we will try to make it happen.

I did drop by your area, but you were not on duty at the time. Then, we gathered about ten feet away behind you, between you and M&R

folks, if we can pull this off, this dinner looks to become EPIC!!!

all I'll say is that by the time we sit down for dinner there might be about 300 years worth of printing experience in a little more than a dozen ppl.

I will do my best to play a fly on the wall if it happens.

Yeah, really looking forward to it.  I hear that a couple of other veterans are on the maybe list and each of them has over 30 years in the ink slinging buisiness.

I kind of like not being the only 'old fart' at the table.

See you on Thursday night.

I'm going to try to meet up with everyone Thursday night after dinner. I have plans already with a vendor but definitely want to see everyone.

Also just FYI, Terry Combs is only in town Wednesday night and we are going to try to hunt down some good wings Wednesday night. I'm sure a few beers will be consumed and everyone is invited. Suggestions welcome.

Lastly I know it is late but I'm hanging out in the bar at Rosen Centre tonight (Tuesday). If you are in te area and see this, stop on by.

Post by: Dottonedan on October 22, 2013, 09:21:09 PM
So far, it looks to be about 10-12 people and that fits downstairs comfortably, Last ISS show, we ha about 9-10 people, give or take. But I'll call ahead now to see what they say. I think they like to wait till we have about 15-20 before they move us upstairs.

Post by: Dottonedan on October 22, 2013, 09:26:42 PM
It jsut so happens, that room upstairs is reserved fora wedding party on Thurs 6pm. They did say however, that they have tables that can easily fit 15-20 people downstairs and I have made a reservation under Dot-Tone-Designs.


As a side note, I made a reservation last time...and when I showed up, they said they don't take reservations and have no record of me calling. LOL   We got good seating anyways.

SGIA Garment Decorator Community Reception toninght, Wednesday October 23, 5-6 PM in room S320 E/F on the 3rd level of the convention center.

If you are a SGIA member who is registered as a garment decorator printer member your name badge has an invitation printed out on the second page.

I will be at the door taking tickets and look forward to meeting TSB members for some snacks, refreshments and conversation.

If Terry & Aaron show up we can make arrangements to follow them on their "Worlds Best Wings Tour" later this evening.

Great company and great conversation last night with TSB friends.

Where and when in Long Beach Pierre'?

~Kitson
Title: Re: SGIA dinner/get together
Post by: Frog on October 25, 2013, 08:32:48 AM
Long Beach dinner is the Friday of the show, January 17, in 2014.
As has been the now, two year tradition, it should be at King's Fish House, and probably around 6:30.

We were going to do the banquet room, but they were quite specific about exact numbers a good week in advance, and, as you saw the last plans develop, this bunch is a little vague.
So, as usual, we will probably have a table for twenty or so, and play it by ear if more express interest.

I had a great time , I am already planning for Long beach, it was so good seeing everyone, great conversation, stories and yes I am sad to say some of us did a trip in the "Way-Back-Machine" I can't  believe it has been 27 years in the industry already, But its times like this i am thankful for the friends and associates I have over the years and the new ones that I just have the pleasure of meeting.

Thank you
