What's the general consenus about this convention? Is it worthwhile?

Opinions will vary, obviously.

But to me, at least, it can be a fun show if you know at least some of your fellow demolition contractors and some suppliers. If you are going for the first time and you do not know some of your demo guys, you may feel a little out of place.

I haven’t been in years, but some of the seminars and speakers almost really didn’t have much to do with the demolition industry, but they have improved lately.

Usually it's a company perk. I remember years past, and probably tears present, when Brandenberg and Beirlien would send over 50 people each. I've found it to be more of a bonding thing with friends and industry acquaintances. How many grapples and hammers can one look at before being bored?

I hope you are not bored at our booth. Look for Applied Science International.
We will be promoting our engineering analysis and demolition simulations there.

I hope you all can stop by and say hi

I guess in a way, is what I was saying. If you don't know that many people or some of the "big boys" it can become "boring".

How did it go?

Must have gone well, my father reports he was worn out and won six grand on the slots.

Well they should pay for the trip. That's a nice chunk of change to win on slots.

I haven't talk to anybody they went yet.

I think he's going to put it into his boat. He's trying to gey it ready for the summer so the grandkids can cruise with him.

I hear David Griffin, Jr. hit it for 10 g's. All in all a good trip for the Griffin contingent.
