Cool

what are YOU doing?!!!!!

Hey y'all. Well, I met Cody and Dave Olsen. Two outstanding points. BUT!!!< I drank prune juice and ate tofu for the whole trip.

The PWNA show was pretty good, aside from the layout for the exhibitions. The vendors were split up into three rooms and the hallway . MSI had a great booth with a trailer package that will be GIVEN AWAY at the end of the year!!! It's a full open trailer, machine, tank, toolbox and all. ********** had the biggest display, but were not selling anything off of the shelves...bummer. EDI, as always, had those odds and ends that you need. And, of course, Wolman, Doug Lattimer, Hydrotech, and some other new guys were there.

The seminars were under a little scrutiny from some of the members. Those felt that it was unorganized and unprofessional. Little do those ones know that only 2 speakers were paid for speaking, all of the others were volunteer. Majority of those attending had very good comments.

It will be in Pittsburgh in the fall. Why don't all of you make plans to come to my hometown if possible. I was asked to be on the planning committee. Don't know about that...cocktails on the hour may piss off the board of directors.

Well, from the pen of PUREPOWER...that is your PWNA show update. No portions of the broadcast may be reproduced without written consent of PUREPOWER.

Thank You and Good Day.

Jordan

LOL Mike,, it was more like a Living room a hallway and a Closet,, it was a little cheesy man,,

The main showroom was only like 30x50 then it went over to the hallway and then it also had a little 12x12 room with a couple of poor schmuks tossed in it. It was really kinda of pathetic. I had expected alot more the last one in Orlando filled a 100x100 room and was set up right with plenty of display products. At this one the only ppl with real displays were MSI and Invirospeck. The rest were just little 3x6 tables with pamphlets. It was an embarrasment to the Industry I'll tell ya, looked like chumpville!

Open message to all, how about more of you guy and gals out West writing to PWNA and asking them to have more conventions out this way.

I went to the one in Las Vegas last year and it was great, but they seem to always have them way back THERE, wonder why that is?

Can't take the heat of Western USA?

Perhaps the cost for most members and sponsors to come this far out, but then it works the same for us to go there.

Now Cody, are you saying the hotel did not have a large enough room for all vendors to pack it in?

About paid speakers, yes they had that in Las Vegas too but as you said most offered their time and knowledge for free because they want others to learn and do things the right way.

Called friends helping friends.

Did no vendors pass out FREE SAMPLES?

I have been complaining about that for 5 years now. They have only had 2 shows out hee in the West over the last 5 years. Las Vegas, and AZ. Doesn't seem to do any good though. Most of the membership is centered on the east coast, so they always stay there. I would be happy to write to my heart's content if I thought any one would listedn, Jon.

So, by the way did anyone attend any of the seminars, and what did you think? Just curious, since I didn't get to go either.

Sounds like someone should propose a western branch, maybe they could build up their membership so they would have reason too come out west more. I’m not affiliated and looks like I probably won’t ever.
