msba show

[reelecstasy]

a huge round of applause for all of the MSBA membership. Many of which were there everyday including the setup day friday. These were some long days and they did it as VOLUNTEERS. These VOLUNTEERS, put on a great show. Believe me, they tried to please Everyone, which as we know is impossible. Again, VOLUNTEERS just put together and ran a show of this size at a venue of this size. To all the VOLUNTEERS that helped at the show, I hope you came away with a feeling of pride, I did. I am proud to be a member of MSBA, and I am proud to be part of a club who's membership truely cares.. I had over 50 volunteers signed up to work the show, and each and everyone showed up and more than pulled their wieght. Thank all of you
As for the venue, hmm, personally I would love to take last years floor plan and space and plop it down on Gillette stadium. I certainly agree there are areas were we need to rethink and improve, thus is life. Live and learn. I was much more involved this year, and I had a first hand look at what it takes to pull this type and size show off, never mind doing it in 67 days...

Patrick P. put his heart into this show, just as he puts it into the club. Thank you Patrick, MSBA is lucky to have you as a member....

Went yesterday from about 10:30 to 3:30. This is probably my 5th or 6th show (went back at the Armory in Braintree??) and I thought it was the best overall that I have been to.

I agree with the lighting and ceiling height issues, but I thought the vendors were offering more than in the past.

Also, the seminars benefitted greatly from lighting conditions and a sound system that were far better than past shows. I thought the venue was a big step up from the past, congrats to MSBA.

Unfortunately for me, I could not justify any major purchases, and it was very hard to resist temptation as I helped a friend in the CMS booth to purchase a couple of beautiful rods.

Good work MSBA.
