San Jose

[Reed Gray]

I had plans to be a vendor in San Jose, but had to cancel out. To all I invited to come by and talk to me, I apoligise. I got the hand book from the event center on May 22. Among the 'surprises' was finding out that having the electricity I needed for a 220 volt lathe, and my grinders, put the price of the booth above what I could afford or justify for the event. I will still be there, and hope to see many of you.

I heard that several vendors canceled do to all the high expenses in San Jose this year. There are others that I know will still be there but won't be running any lathes due to the expenses of just getting electricity to the booth.
This is very unfourtunate as the trade show seems to be a big part of the symposium for a lot of folks.
