MAL 2010 - Market Location



DDR will be in the same room as last year, opposite side. This should be a good location. I expect the fair weather vendors that skipped last year to be back. The market appears to be back to capacity so we feel fortunate to make the cut.

As I've said, we feel good about going back to MAL. It's a great weekend. We have way more inventory this year. Orders are steady and the pace is doubling every six months. While that isn't so odd for a new venture, it does confirm we're on the right path.

As usual, we'll have some new pieces for customers to check out. I hope to see you there.

DDR in 2010


The first poll has closed and the enclosure suit is the clear winner. See how easy that was...now I know exactly what to work on next.

I think some feedback on our '10 travel plans might be useful. Right now we are set for MAL in January. Our room is booked for MIR next November and we are NOT taking the biz to the Chicago Hyatt in May. All along the plan has been to do more travel in 2010. So here's the poll. Where do you think we should be? Just a few big national events? Stay home and work from the web? or Do 10-20 small regional events through out the country?

It would be great to do it all but resources are limited. Skipping IML will free up resources that can be used more effectively. Time and money regulate the world, only the foolish and government subsidized corporate freeloaders can escape that reality.

Let us know what you think
