Shucks, I missed the deadline for the lesser priced admittance fee....and no comps offered although it wasn't due to me not asking. Maybe will look forward to 2017 if we have better jobs (revenues) by then. Thank you Economy.

Been a lurker for a while but wanted to post on this. I have been wanting to go to this since I was a shovel monkey begging for seat time. Cant wait to go to Vegas in 2 weeks. Plan on going to show Tuesday and Wednesday then going to the Hoover Dam and Nation Nuclear Testing Museum on Thursday. I tried to get a Nevada Test Site Tour but those are booked a year in advance. Be nice to meet Burnout and Company since I follow them on the Face Crack.

I work with Bridgestone pretty closely, we can invade there

Sounds good, last time I went to Conex, we had a HEF get together we invaded Construction Equipment Magazine with the help of Larry who is a member here. Let us know if that is an option.

Well, in true Vegas fashion we rolled the dice and came up snake eyes, lol. I'm gonna try to make it, as more or less a last good time. Might have to hitch a ride home though, heheheh. Ah well, this too shall pass. Cheers.
