You know, as an exhibitor, I wish the organizers will at least allow one day for the general shooting enthusiast to come in and enjoy the show. I personally think that companies underestimate the power of the 'people'.
Most pay too much attention to the gun rag writers and such and not enough time to properly educate the end users on what they can expect on all the new products and such. I guess a lot of companies forget that without the support of folks like you guys, where will we be now?
I guess (in their defense) that there's a lot to be dealt with when you allow everyone in and folks usually have lots of Qs and such BUT I still believe in the support of the shooters. I lost track of how many times we've gotten a call from stores asking to be dealers because their local shooters bugged the hell outta them to carry i-SHOT. Nuf said, I'll end up pissing off some folks
I was surprised we went there only because out of all the world class restraunts in Las Vegas, we went to a off the beaten track (for tourists), run of the mill Thai restruant. I have no problem with it, but it was an unexpected choice.
444, I understand what you mean by that and like yourself, I am a foodie but there are restaurants in Chinatown Plaza that can be considered sorta 'world class'. I have clients coming in from the Far East just to get a sampling of restaurants like Harbor Palace, Kim Tar Seafood and Sam Woo BBQ. So if you folks are still planning to meet 'off the beaten track', I'd suggest you consider one of these. Valkman's in Vegas so let's send him ahead of time as our local scout
Last year on Jan 31st, Chinatown hosted their yearly New Year celebrations and it was a blast. I don't know if they are planning the same next year.
On that note, our best wishes to all of you for a Prosperous New Year.
