    I'm going for the very first time and I'm super stoked! I'm actually going for work as I'm now employed by Crain Communications and am on the Autoweek magazine team. Flying in on Monday morning and out on Friday afternoon.

    I'd like to take this opportunity to meet as many HAMB folks as possible while I'm in Vegas. So who's going and what booth will you be in? A booth number would help as I've heard the place is HUGE! I'd love to stop, say hi and introduce myself. I'm especially excited to meet you if your business is located west of the Mississippi as that's my territory. :D

    Oh yeah, real names would help so that I can introduce you hooligans to my boss as we're walking around.

    Maybe a HAMB meet & greet one night at a bar??

    Only if autoweek hosts me again...
     
  3. I'am in.

    For some reason all the real handshake deals between the buyers & sellers seem to go down over beers & stromboli at "4 Kegs" though.

    "capisci" ?

  4. No booth but we've got a pickup in the show. I'm excited for this year mostly because of the people going rather than the show. Shows cool too

    Hi Denise - I'll be there, but just prowling around wearing out my hoofies! A meet and greet sounds great. How about the bar right off the Casino at the Hilton? Pick a night...

    So happy to see thats lots of my pals will be attending and that theres lots of new HAMB folks to meet.

    Also, thanks all for the kudos on the new gig. I'm thrilled that I get to combine my love of sales with my passion for the automobile.

    Awesome! I'm staying at the hotel thats attached to the convention center, I think its called the Las Vegas Hotel.

    My digits are 734-673-6930 and I text


    So, what's the booth number the pickup is in. Love to stop and check it out.


    Wish I had the authority to. Perhaps next year after I've had a few promotions. :D


    I'll text you when I arrive. Where are you staying?


    I think there might be a few of us on the same flight on Monday. You flying Delta by chance?:D

    Do you know the number of the booth by chance? I wanna make sure I don't miss it.


    Would LOVE to have dinner with you guys. When are you arriving and where are you staying?

    Thats a great idea. I think the Hilton is now the Las Vegas Hotel. Is Monday night good since most of us will be there already AND not be too exhausted yet. What time is best?

    You're gonna love it. It's the old 'kid in the candy store' routine every year and I think I've missed 2 since '81. The last few times we've had a m&g we had it at the Hilton (where you're staying).
     
  22. Denise...be sure to attend the SEMA banquet.They usually have a top entertainer there to perform,,,I saw Bob Hope one year,Willie Nelson another time and Beach Boys,Gallagher,Helen Reddy to name a few others...each year is some one different.
    Along with all the awards for best product,Mfg of the year,ETC...

    After confirming a few things that are planned for the week with my boss Monday evening is great for my schedule, hopfully for others as well.

    So how does 6pm on Monday evening sound in The Las Vegas Hotel bar sound for a HAMB Meet & Greet? It's the old Hilton thats attached to the convention center. If we get bored there and want to check out another place we can aways do that too.

    If I'm the only one there I guess Autoweek will get off pretty cheaply. :D
