Re: SHOT Show 2010 Logistics

4. Battery Junction CPF get -together, hosted by MattK, information and attendee list.

"We're not having an 'event' or a 'GTG'....we're having a PARTYYYYY!!!"

1/21/10 Thurs. CPF gathering hosted by MattK of BatteryJunction.com, 6:30 PM at the Platinum Hotel - 211 East Flamingo Rd. BatteryJunction.com is providing the suite (reserved only for the party) as well as snacks and drinks. MattK will be showing the newest and coolest of lights in the works. MattK has door prizes from the various manufacturers in his product line. All CPF members, manufacturers and vendors are welcome to attend who sign up in advance.

Because the suite was booked only for the event, the room number will not be available until the afternoon of the party. Thursday, 5PM, pick up the room number at SS10 booth #4461, Springboard Engineering. The room number will also be posted in this thread by 4:00PM the day of the party.

Dealers and manufacturers attending who have not hosted an event are asked to consider assisting by donating some door prizes or $$ to help offset expenses.


MattK is attending the show for business and does not have a vehicle. We need volunteers with a vehicle to arrange for and pick up party supplies, food and drink. Please volunteer in the discussion thread. Let's help him out here as he is covering all expenses for the evening.

Polklifer and paintballdad are our CPF party coordinators.: :thumbsup::thumbsup:

BatteryJunction.com CPF Customer Appreciation Party at SHOT SHOW

Thursday, January 21st, 6:30 PM

Dear Friends,

At this years SHOT Show BatteryJunction.com will be hosting a Customer Appreciation Party at the Platinum Suites Hotel in Las Vegas from 6:30 PM until around 11-ish. The main focus of this event is the CPF (Candle Power Forums) community but other groups will also be invited and we'll also have friends and associates from a number of the factories joining us as well.

We have booked the Marquis Suite, the largest available suite at the Platinum, and will be offering an array of food and drinks. Because of the hour this will be dinner for most attendees and we are planning appropriately. We are expecting about 60 people to attend - perhaps more.

Because we will not have the room number until the day of the party, or perhaps the day before please check this thread around 4PM on Thursday: https://www.candlepowerforums.com/threads/256582.

Alternatively at ~ 5PM, you may pick up the room number at SS10 booth #4461, Springboard Engineering.

We look forward to seeing you all there!

Rules:
-No smoking in the room or on the patio (hotel's rules).
-Come prepared to have fun.
-Bring cool stuff to show off. :)

The following factories are making donations (door prizes!) and many will have representatives joining us at the party (D = Donating, A = Attending):
Fenix: D / A
Inforce: D / A
LRI/Photonlight: D / A
Coast / Led Lenser: D / A
Novatac: D / A
Surefire: D / A
NiteIze / Inova: D / A
TerraLUX: D / A

Re: SHOT Show 2010 Logistics

To anyone who cannot attend, I will post updates from SHOT Show at irregular intervals at my new blog: http://www.gearcarrot.com/blog

I am working at the 4sevens booth so I will only be able to gather details at my lunch breaks but I will do my very best to bring you guys the latest and greatest news. If anyone attending would like to contribute to the blog I can add you as a contributor to the blogging software. Just send me a PM here on CPF.

Re: 2010 Shot Show Thread!

I just flew into Vegas - boy are my arms tired!

I am staying at the MGM grand. I just had some dinner at Wolfgang Puck's grill.

There is complimentary shuttle bus service between the MGM Grand and the Sands Expo center during the hours and days of the SHOT show. The pickup and drop off place is at the Grand Garden.

The schedule is as follows for Tue through Fri:

7 am - 10:30 am from MGM to Expo
3:30 pm - 6:30 pm from Sands Expo to MGM

Shuttles will run every 15-20 minutes depending on traffic.

Is this inside a dome or something? I'd like to see a pic of everyone there running all of their flashlights on strobe at once.

Re: 2010 Shot Show Thread!

I was supposed to be arriving at 10pm tonight, but my flight just got canceled due to fog.
I guess I'll be leaving 14:40 tomorrow afternoon.
