Look forward to the show!
Me too. I hope I can make it!
Hope? All ok Jock?
It's gonna be huge...
We purchased our tickets to the "Expo" well over a month ago.
This fall (pun intended), I fell and tried to bust up a concrete driveway with my head. I did not succeed.
I'm recovering well, and according to my neurologist will get back to 100%, but it's a slow process.
I'm definitely planning on being there. I have my hotel room booked.
Jock - Glad you are doing better and are on your way to being 100% healthy. Hope to see you in Feb! I’ll save you a seat at the bar! :thumbsup:

FYI, for any classical music fans attending, the Florida Orchestra has a concert Fri, Jan 17, in Tampa featuring Rachmaninoff’s Piano Concerto No. 2, with pianist Joyce Yang... https://the.floridaorchestra.org/222...maninoff/straz That concert will also be performed in St. Petersburg and Clearwater respectively, on Sat and Sun.
Good to hear. Was going to suggest hiring a neurologist to fix the driveway and a concrete contractor to fix the noggin. See you soon.Quote:

Look forward to the expo.
Can’t make it this year. Wife’s Birthday and other travel plans interfere. 😢
We have maxed out our exhibitor allotment of rooms and actually had to get 7 more exhibit rooms from the hotel. We’ve been turning away last minute Lou’s for the past couple of weeks. If a manufacturer/distributor isn’t at the show, they will seriously be missing out on incredible coverage and free press! I believe we have 77 rooms, nearly double from 2022. Double the ad spend for attracting attendees. We also have 42 press coming….I believe that is the most for any show. [emoji15]. We are also accepting the YouTuber guys with open arms, setting up empty rooms for them to do their wrap up’s, interviews, meet with people. Watch for the other shows to now copy us on that front. LOL.Quote:

So many debuts at the show this year.

Never a doubt in my mind. Great job.Quote:

Anyway, both were wrong even with Covid! Both apologized publicly. We’ve moved on and I sincerely hope they can both attend one day. Don’t even think about them to be honest.
We have a GREAT team behind the scenes. Sue, Denise, Bart and the entire Florida show team.
Our radio ads across the state are running starting today. Jazz and classical stations will be playing them. We have done many things no other show does to attract a broad audience.
The fun begins next week!

When we lived in Maine we took a day trip and drove up to the top of MT Washington. At the base it was 70 degrees at the top there were snow flurries and 65 mph winds. Our dogs would not get of the vehicle.Quote:

A Portland Me. news program would have a segment live from there every Friday night through the winter. By the approach of spring that guy looked really rough and a bit stir crazy.
One week!
Guys, will we be doing dinner again on Saturday evening? If so, please add me to the list.
