TCIA Expo..

[treelooker]

I hate lectures too; Bo-ring stupid bunch of nonsense. But I love illustrated presentations. New ideas are good gear too, eh?

I'm doing the ehap too so I can be a certified tree worker.



Friday night in Blinky's room there will be a wild beer brawl, with dancing girls and fireworks!



O wait never mind.

I have more CEUs than I need right now..

One thing I will avoid this year is the endless drinking. Too hard on my body

Thats what you say every year!!!!

 

[treelooker]

The hospitality rooms are dens of iniquity; beware those mixed-up drinks.

snarf re ceu's, it's not the quantity, it's the quality that counts.

Don't forget me!!

I have a room in the Crowne Plaza on Morgan Street from Thursday through til Sunday. Anyone else in there too?

 

[OTGBOSTON]

Sooooooo I'll be looking for you all........

< I look like this

I am hosting a rec climb about 25mins away from the convention Sat 10-4, PM me if interested.

i am staying at the crown plaza.
Just a heads up, no free shuttle service to the hotels from the airport. 28 bucks one way for the shuttle and more for a taxi.

I think I will wear a climbing comp. t-shirt so maybe I can hook up with someone and share a cab...

I know, I am a cheap bastard but it seems like the convention trips always nickel and dime me

 

[lumberjack]

I fly out tomorrow morning, my cell is 662.-two51-nineone91.

 

[DTW902]

We fly out Thursday morning. We are staying at the Hartford Marriott Downtown.

 

[SkwerI]

When you guys see the glass two-sided building downtown, think of me. My grandmother worked for The Hartford insurance company in that building 30-40 years ago. That was my first 'high-rise' experience as a kid.

 

[lumberjack]

I made it to the airport! Even managed to get my paper done, such as it is. I couldn't find one source I cited in my paper, doubt he misses that.

It's nice (or will be) to have 5 days to mellow out.

The only downside is seeing you folk, barely bearable

You mean this cold weather isn't a downside?

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Who's gonna be outside? Seminars, trade show..........and hotel bar.

 

[brendonv]

Well Carl just arrived here at the house. He's bigger in person!

See ya this weekend,

Brendon

 

[MasterBlaster]

Does his head blot out the sun?

 

[Paul B]

dont loan him any hats! Have fun y'all!

 

[lumberjack]

Naw, the cold is fine

I won't be at the seminars, that's for certain.

 

[treelooker]

I won't be at the seminars, that's for certain.

Why, allergic? Or burnt out from school?

Just finished the ehap class with tom dunlap and downstairs in the marriott lounge where there is wireless. sounds like good weather saturday for the rec climb; hope to see you all there in the afternoon since there are seminars in the morning that sound very useful for folks in the tree care biz.

 

[OTGBOSTON]

shippin' out

At dawn. Already know Tom. Lookin' foreward to meeting Guy and the rest of you treegeeks.

 

[TheTreeWiseMen]

Leaving Long Island this afternoon......should be up in Hartford later this evening. See you all there.
