    Travis, are you going?! I have to work, but if some of you guys are going, love to hang out!
    BTW, like I said in another thread, since getting the VS-1 from you, I have Tunnel Fever now!
    Too many boats, not enough time...

          When this just came out about 6 or 7 years ago, you can buy things, HobbyPeople and a few other vendors sell things under "show" law meaning you don't need to pay sales tax provided it is paid in cash. Last time I went I didn't remember if they are still doing the same, HobbyPeople has a big show up but I think you need to pay tax. They are some interesting battery stands. I find very few things for boats. Crawlers were a big splash, and planes too. Horizon Hobby did not show up two years ago if I remember correctly, didn't go last year so i don't know.
          Be sure to buy/print out a coupon online before you show up there , for entry ticket, you can save a couple dollars I think.

                Tony,

                I'm at the diamond Hobby Booth right around the corner. Here's Our booth
                IMG_20130531_180847_801.jpgIMG_20130531_180908_438.jpg

                Tim,

                I'll be there during the day but I'll prolly have some free time after the show if you want to try and hang out. I wish I could've brought some boats with me but all mine are under construction right now. There will be some boat demo's and I saw Hobby Partz had a few new ones. Hyperformance is there. As for the tunnel fever I have it too my friend. I just bought two vision tunnels 20 and 40. I barely had enough time to take em outta the box.

                As far as being able to purchase, bring all your money. there will be plenty of stuff to buy. Hope to see you guys there.

                Travis

                    I certainly didn't mean to down play the number of brands that are participating. Should be more careful next time... when I open my BIG
                    I thought it is next weekend, Will try to be there tomorrow but def. on Sunday, or both days! I have to work both of these days!
                    Love to visit your booths and the thing is Sunday I work from 4:00 to 10:30PM, maybe too late, otherwise I can swing by and hang out. Anyway, I am excited, looking forward to seeing you guys and the display!

                        Will do, see you. I have to attend something at my daughter's school until 12 PM, then at 8 pm I have a concert in Orange County, I figure between 2PM and 5;30PM I can be there, and of course on Sunday before 4pm. Man, I love that VS1 (7)

                          I came up with vs7 from seven marine who makes the most powerful outboard engines. I don't remember if I put any seven marine stickers other than the number seven. I sure do miss that boat more than any other. Hope to see you there. Cheers my friend.

                            I saw "7" on the nose of the canopy, but didn't realize "Seven Marine"---I am not that knowledgeable with marine outboard engines.
                            See you!

                              Travis,

                              I'll seek you out. We'll have a 92" HPR in the Dinogy booth !!!!!!!!!!!

                              The pond there is saltwater, otherwise I'd bring a boat or two and show the folks what it's all about !!
