Hi all,
With the mention of StonExpo on another thread, I was just wondering who might be heading down that way at the end of the month? I'm leaning toward being there and seeing what there is to see. I suppose that means a few adult beverages and some killer shimp that Scooter told me about. You see, he knows this place and,...well, it's a story. :D

Our world famous host and moderator, Mike Ackley (Mike2) will be in attendance. He has commissioned a TYW tee shirt to wear at the event. ;)
Yeah, Shaughnn, make sure you git one of them shirts. Rumor has it that Mike is fixin' to try to get The Makita Girl to wear one of'em. If I were you, I think I'd be tryin' to git that one. :D

PS: Incidently, I don't think I'll do any of the seminars, but if I were, which is an absolute "must see" for a tile guy? Any opinions??

You're a washed out blonde Mike?
Shucks, I'd make a far better Makita girl than you would ;).

Any of you guys actually going? I was thinking on going to look around and see if I could find anything interesting.
I'm going to try and attend the Understanding issues "China" seminar.
P.S. Why not come to the show here in Vegas. Wife won't let ya? I understand.

Art/Scooter:
I will be there Wed – Fri, (Oct. 27-29). In terms of Seminars that might be of general interest in the tile setting trade, take a look at session #’s 11, 20, 30, 42, 50, 65, & 69, a series of stone care, maintenance, and restoration forums presented by StoneTech, AMI, and others. One will even be a joint StoneTech/Aqua Mix/Miracle Sealants/Akemi session. I'm looking forward to that one.
Then Nobel will have one on membranes and waterproofing, #42.
For me personally, I’m in the process of setting up/financing a couple new business, one being a stone profiling fab shop (while at the same time trying to maintain a retired/semi retired profile which will be interesting). With some significant investment decisions in the making, the one session I am particularly interested in and my primary reason for attending the show is session #29, smart buying & investment decisions for setting up a fabricating facility.
If you decide to attend, look for the one-and-only TYW tee-shirt... come up as say howdy.

Hey Ramon,
Miss Makita is going to be at the Vegas show, too. What's all this talk of seminars and businesses? We're talkin' tee shirts here. ;)
