I'll pass out my cell # as the days get closer so maybe I can connect with a few of you.

Hey all, just saw this topic drop off the recent list so i thought I'd bring it back up. My wife and I will be heading out to the show from Columbus Ohio. We have a 4 1/2 hour flight stright thru and are supposed to be there Thursday night. The missus is not into the whole sign gig that much but she couldnt turn down the chance to come out (first time). I know I'm a newbie but maybe I'll get a chance to start matching mugs with names. Anyone interested in arranging a little partay?

Got a bunch of time sensitive projects in play that might make 3+ days out of town a bad idea... will be playing it by ear and book the week before, if I'm able to go.

Erik, I'm certain its already been said, but....you are one lucky guy! Too bad we are going during the week. If I wasn't such a cheap-ass MF I'd splurge for the weekend...oh well, next time. I'm sure I'll find some other trouble to get into! :thumbs:

When birds fly over you do you hear "Cheap Cheap?" :P

I know how it is, having family and business always makes it harder to get away where you wanna go and how long you wanna be gone for.

*cough* it takes some work to keep her in check!

I sure hope so brad, I really do. If not it's a even bigger "Sign" (No pun intended) that the neon side of the industry is going to shit and becoming more and more unorganized and in disarray.

I see a LARGER and much Stronger organization with Pin Strippers, Sign Painters, Vinyl Jockeys and LED manufacturer's than I have ever seen in neon manufacturer's, fabricator's and installer's.

In my very short young, still cocooned 14 year career I have yet to see any real organization, am I missing something here? Am I on the wrong side of the garden? I haven't seen it online hence the reason why I started this site for the electrical aspect. I've been to a few conventions and a few boards and up to know I've been pretty disappointed in the lack of communication.

I hope this view of mine can change after Vegas.

Last time in Vegas there was a great party at Casino lighting, I was there for a while and unfortunately I was forced to leave that one for a dive. I do not know of any this year but one can be set up at a casino for a big get together, get drunk kind of thing. In Atlantic city theres a good party at a local shop every December.

I think one of the major problems is that someone has to open thier shop at night, assume the insurance possibilities and lock everything up. If anyone has any ideas i'll be glad to help out as much as I can. Joe from Tecnolux is usually on top of these things.

GOOD things happen for a reason......

From my phone conversation with him about a month ago or longer, he stated nothing was going on this year.

You know what it is, there seems to be a lack of a core. I'm speaking in "online" terms, which is the new age of communication now, from here on out. I see the neon list which seems to have about 10 or so regular posters and here too, the "Neon Forum" has sadly turned into a ghost town and I'll see speratic posts here and there in SW but mostly peeps selling their neon plants....and that is it!

I gave off a thing of Mark's electrode samples to a friend of mine, and we were talking about his plant and a manifold he needed repaired and I "splained" this site to him and he said optimistic about it. But has he been here or called Mark, I doubt it. I've kinda explained this site to a few locally who I see now and then and well, I don't see them. But! If I were in a different part of this trade and I ran into a newbie that person would be here in a split second. I don't get it

I'll try and find a location at Mandaley Bay or Excalibur at around 5-6pm (Friday) in a bar or restaurant, something open and not confined. If anyone wants to meet up and place a face with a name type deal. I figure that might be a good time, it's around almost din din and before I go get my groove on somewhere :yahoo: It's about the time Kgirl and I can have a few drinks with appetizers and people watch anyway :crazy:

There is a mexican joint on the second level at the Luxor that may be an ideal spot to meet on Friday or the Burger bar in between the Luxor and Mandalay Bay is also a nice spot...? :beerparty: You have to walk right by the Burger bar on your way back from the convention center to both Luxor and Ex...they have killer burgers and the scenery is nice as well :sml (29):

Also, any poker people up for a game? The Luxor will accomodate a private table if we can get 10 people...let me know and I will set it up.

Found a pic of the bar

Sure hope you take better pictures of the scenery while you're there---------for those of us that can't go, we can live vicariously.
