Looks like a great way to spend Halloween. How did you get in? Don't you have to be a distributor or something? Great pics!!

Awesome pics! You captured the flavor of the show well.

One of these days I'm going to get to this show. (And yes, not just anybody can show up and get in. But I've got a plan!)

As "mdmead" said: "Not just anybody can show up and get in".

When I go to the SEMA show, I am a representative of PPG.

Has done it once, (invited a friend). It didn't turn out so good, so I probably will not do it again.

I promise I can be good. :poke: I'll even buy lunch and beer.

I know what you mean thou you don't want to lose your ability to get in or put your job in danger because someone acts like a fool at the show.

Just post more pics next time you go back.

Not much to talk about. I don't mention his name, because he is a member on this forum.
He could not stay in our hotel room, and I have not heard from him since. The only thing I've seen is that he has removed himself from my face book friend list.
