Thanks Mark for you review. Hopefully, the show coordinators will get some of this feedback and make an effort to improve the areas you had concerns in.

I guess the crowd was ok since it's the first year, but it sure could of been better. They had vendors and the name tyers down in the big room on the first floor, and all the bamboo rod guys and CFTG tyers on the second floor. Kind of made for a "the poor relation" type of deal for us. For sure some people never even got to the second floor because they don't fish or aren't interested in bamboo. Not to cool. We also had a problem with the air conditioning. Either it was way to hot because it was off (good for tying) or if it was on, all the materials went flying. Seems they couldn't find a happy medium. The auction (for the CFFC&M) was great on Sat. night. We got a beautiful leather rod case, an old airloom in mint condition for $50, and a framed salmon fly (Tequilla Sunrise by Joe Soma) for $100. The buffett they served was also very nice. I had to go back to Roscoe after getting my wife back to Manhattan, and then do another rond trip (Manhattan and back) the next day to go to a memorial for a friend. Now i have 150 emails to deal with. Pretty good show, but they need to fix a few things. mark >From: "William Andreas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >Subject: RE: [VFB] Home >Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2004 09:53:46 -0500 > >Would be interested in the review of this new show. >Thanks for the update. > >Bill > > -----Original Message----- > From: mark romero [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thu 11/11/2004 11:57 PM > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Cc: > Subject: RE: [VFB] Home > > > > Long as you got home safe and sound.
