Ipcpr/rtda 2008

[Halon]

So who all is going out to Vegas for the trade show? I just talked to my boss and he said I can go. I can't go for the whole time, tho, because I am taking summer school and can't miss too many classes. So right now it looks like I'll fly out Monday morning at like 7:00am and leave late Tuesday night. So I'll get in two full days of the trade show and also the CAO party. I have been trying to get in to the RTDA trade show for the past couple years, and I'm glad I am finally able to!

Anybody else want to meet up sometime during the show? Maybe Monday late afternoon/early evening, or Tues. after 5:00pm? We could also meet up for lunch. I'm not sure if you can smoke in the convention center (heard something about a smoking ban), but my girlfriend is coming along with me and maybe I can persuade her into letting me buy us a suite with a living room that we can smoke in.

Can't really get any passes for anyone. I am still the new guy at the shop, and I'm lucky they are letting me go for a couple days! I would if I could, though!

You can always go smoke at casa fuente...

We might have to! Heard word that we may not be able to smoke at the actual trade show. sounds preposterous, but it's what I heard.

[BradMc]

I'm sure u will be able to smoke inside the main room, (like we did at the Big Smoke), but outside the room I'm guessing not .............

 

[Kurtdesign1]

I'll be at the show again this year, guys. You all can PM me if you want to get together at any point.

Tyler, Welcome back to the states. I will be hanging doing pretty much nothing every day. Come by and grab a smoke.

 

[JRL]

So who is going to plan the get together? Pete are you going to have time to join us? I know I live here and should have an idea of where to meet , but i don't. ( I can suggest a couple places) i would love to meet up with all of you and have a stick.

 

[Halon]

Tyler, Welcome back to the states. I will be hanging doing pretty much nothing every day. Come by and grab a smoke.

Will do! I'll have to introduce you to my boss, who wasn't there when you came to Edward's that morning. Hopefully we'll get some La Riquezas ordered at the show! It's hard to pay money for anything else after trying those.
