Really enjoyed the show and thought the venue for it was excellent. We got there a bit early and hung out, outside (after hecking nib as we drove passed him in the lot). Hung out for a bit spk/w Freak, then went in. Found that it was very cool, because there was enough space so that no vendors were backed into a corner or anything where they couldnt display their stuff, plenty of room to shoot the chit etc, the lounges were cool because if you ran into a few guys you hadnt seen since last spring etc, there were couches etc where you could sit and shoot the %$%$%$%$. The entrance fee at first I thought was a bit steep, as I had expected to pay to park, but there was no charge to park so that evened that out and I found the entrance fee a bit easier to accept. Would I pay the fee again yes. It was great seeing everyone at the show, its always good to get in a few hours around fellow addicts.. umm anglers. I told Patrick a few times during the course of the day that the venue was great and they had done a great job putting it together. Prices for food and frosty beverages are on par with any event held in such a venue, but I'm pretty sure I work for or own Harpoon brewery now...
Good stuff MSBA excellent show and you pulled it off very well, as anything a few things to tweak here and there maybe a port o potty outside for the early birds but all in all the show F'in rocked. Scotty, and I were there from the opening til Close and the way it was setup it wasnt like a death march to get around the place, very comfortable atmosphere, very relaxed not the wharehouse effect you get at some shows..Excellent job MSBA, great showing of SB guys there today. It wont be long now guys!
Surf Asylum sold out of BLACK before I got there!!! :tear:
