Peter,
It seems Thursday night is when many companies hold their "Customer Appreciation" parties.
I've done the best I can to steer clear of conflicts with other parties, such as the ARA Gala, which is held Friday night.
The only "out" I can offer equipment reps, is to tell upper management that many of their customers will be at the "Beach Party."
Those customers deserve appreciation too!
Don't they? :-)

David,
Maybe in the future the ARA and suppliers will plan the show and meeting schedules around the BEACH PARTY. (devil)
It doesn't hurt to dream.

David,
Actually, last year, when Joe Hayes was suggesting crashing the PDU party, I remember saying that someday, they'll want to crash our party.
Who knows? :-)

Hmm,
If I had known that "crashing" was an option I would not have sent a check.

We would have been watching for you B-) - we have security set up for our Bash (devil) Last year we made consideration of crashing the PDU party. We ended up having way to much fun to crash another party. In other words, our party is the place to be!

Yes, the word is out and we realize that we can not compete with you all so we have almost thrown in the towel, almost; (we may have a last minute announcement so retailors should stop by the booth). Looking forward to a great show and meeting all of the on line members.

Lyle,
I'm looking forward to the "mystery" announcement.
I'm also looking forward to meeting you in person.
What's your position with PDU?

Dave,
The technical title is Director of Sales. In reality it is whatever I am asked to do.
Likewise, I am loking forward to meeting you.

Lyle,
I understand.
I won't even try to define my official position, without a hat rack. :-)
I'm still very curious about the mystery announcement. (devil)

Sorry, I missed where you said the day of the Beach Party. When is this happening?

Rebecca,
Thursday March 2nd, from 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm.
That's the official time, although The Beach invites us to stay as long as we want.
I'll have to check, but it may be the food stops being served at 9:00 pm.
We have about 70 people confirmed!
Why not make it 72? :-)

We don't want you guys to throw in the towel - just get done with the business and join your best customers at the Beach.
Just think, you will have a whole room full of potential customers in a good mood. Is there anything better for a Director of Sales????
By the way - we got new catalog pages for all the new products last week.
Looks like you have come up with some nice new items. ;-)
For those forum members who are not familiar with PDU - be sure and check out their booth and displays of exciting new products, special pricing and listen closely for a huge last minute annoucement for retailors. :O :O
OK - Lyle how did I do??? B-)

Turns out Don can't make it. It will just be me.
I will pay via PayPal and expect to see you there!
Thanks,

Too bad. I was hoping to meet Don as well.
We're looking forward to meeting you. I did receive your payment, which will be reflected on the updated ARA/Beach Party list.
Thank you.

Are any of you meeting any of the other nights? I recall something being said. I'm in town Monday through Friday.

Rebecca,
It's a safe bet (no pun intended:) that you'll meet some of the people from the forum at Quark's Bar/Restaurant, located in the LV Hilton. Usually after the show.
I'll be in town from Wed. through Friday. Depending what time I get into town, I'll drop by Quark's, to see if anyone's there.

I'm leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again. Oops! Wrong song. I'm leaving in a van tomorrow, be in Vegas by dinner. And I do know when I'll be back home again (Monday). Looking forward to meeting everyone.
