In another week or so, I'm going to release news about a possible 2013 Expo. Big changes are in store and even this most recent event, our largest ever, is going to seem like child's play compared. Nothing has been set in stone yet, and I certainly don't want to jump the gun, but the Expo has become large and successful enough that it has attracted the eyes of serious people. I was made an offer this afternoon that I'm finding terribly difficult to turn down. I'm still shaking my head.

...................

Sound outstanding I hope it comes thru.

One way or the other we'll be there with a booth.

When you find out what we're talking about, you'll be back with more than one or two booths, plus a greatly improved outlook on the after-show nightlife.

Its hard to believe it could be any bigger or better then the one you just did! I am telling you if you are a rod builder or ever wanted to be you have to attend this! From what it started at to now is amazing. I just wish it was longer so that i could attend more of the seminars as there just wasn't enough time to see as many seminars as i wanted to attend. The deals were amazing and I spent way more money then I wanted too but will get that back in the long run.

Hi Tom,
Don't shake it too hard, something might come loose.
Seriously from what I've heard you put in a lot of work and produce an outstanding event. Hopefully the offer will make it easier for you and you can continue to keep the Expo happening at least until I can save the cash to travel from one side of the world to the other as I would love to get to one.

Hard to top the BW lounge. NERBS-and everyone else. But sounds like a plan. Good luck

No, all the previous Expos will pale in the face of what's on tap.

I want to know the prize NOW! I really hope you're not trying to pawn off any of those minuature shrimp used for bait that you guys chew on while watching tv.

Jim Upton...Catalina Island.

Las Vegas, Summer 2013.

Since Lance took Vegas, I'll take Tulsa, Oklahoma

I know it couldn't be Corpus Christi,Tx so I'm gonna go w/ Atlanta, Ga. Lance, you dog!

Since Las Vegas is taken, I'll pick New York City

Sammy you of all people!

You have now made this personal.

You more than anyone else have a clear understanding or the "class" of the people we deal with -we do not operate low rent leaky boot!

Would you accept a free frequent flyer ticket to fly down and fish in the marsh with us?

Tell the truth by posting your honest reply.

I couldn't be happier for you and for all of us who look forward to the Expo each year.

I'll be glued to the Forum in anticipation of the big news.

No vote for me. Give it to Jim Gamble.
