Airport Shuttle
The toll-free # is: 1-866-791-7626
They have shuttles coming at specific times, so you may have to wait depending on your flight. My flight comes in at 1pm, the shuttle leaves at 1:30pm, so if my luggage takes too long, or the flight is late - the next shuttle isn't until 2:45 pm!! So I would definitely call to check out the times.
See you there,
Melody
P.S. I love your DVD and have now decided I need a bigger torch

I'm flying in late Friday p.m., and will be meeting my hubby who has a trade show (in security genre) all week. I won't be able to make a get-together, but will be at the show Saturday, so I hope to see you'z guyz there! I'll be the short one with the short blond hair and the HUGE smile on my face! My pic is in my avatar, so if you see me but I don't see you, GRAB ME and say "hello", OK? PLEASE!?!
Have fun everyone - I know I will!
Hugs,
De

3 years ago, someone made LE name tags....Geneva I think...anyhow, that was a great idea. Anyone feel up to it? Anyone who could bring them to the supper? Then if we all wore them throughout the show, we'd recognise each other. Or other le'ers that didn't make the supper would maybe stop the name tag wearers and introduce themselves? Just a thought.

Hi Brent~
I'm definitely gonna check out your spread, and hope I have enough $ to make a purchase I bought your wonderful one-eyed creature last year, and I just love her! She's so whimsical and different...any "baby" sisters or brother's to accompany her? (Wink!)
I know you're also offering to donate 10% of your sales to Shannon Hill, so I'll be looking to make a purchase to contribute to that great cause, too! I was gonna ask for a preview, but I know you're busier than heck - so I'll just wait to see what's there and hope for something to reach out and grab me or give me a wink back!
See you Saturday!
De

I'm sitting at McCarron Airport in Vegas waiting for my o-dark-hundred flight back to Michigan. The show was fabulous!! The information shared in the classes was detailed, I met some new glassy eyed friends, and spent WAYYYYY too much money in the market! I sure hope I get to go back again next year

Neil and I are home in NJ, and SO tired. We had a great time at this year's Expo, the students seemed especially excited and dedicated and that was wonderful. I had a good time with Tillie, and many other ISGBers (HEY SCHERMO!!). We also got to meet Lisa St. Martin's son Ian - an added bonus. The entire week just zoomed by. I can't wait to see the Flame-Off creations auction (whenever that will be). I bet they raise a ton of money. Jeri

Hey Jeri! I'm home now too. All I can say is WOW, what a week! Hung out with so many old buds and met many new folks too! From Jeff Barber, McDuck, Janel Zorko, Schermo (thank you for the focal!), Brent Graber,Toni L, Laurie L(thank you for the heart!), Cat W, Lisa St. Martin, Doug R., Brent Graber, Otter (thank you for the pendant!), Carla, Greg (thank you for the turtle!!) and Patty. Plus I heard Corrina was helping out at the Frantz booth, but I didn't stop....I know I missed some names here that I met - sorry!
Just had an excellent time and my classes with Catherine Weaver were great!
Here's a few pics of the flame off pieces.

Wow, what fun this was!!! It was so exciting to be there!!
I first must apologize to those of you whom I didn't get to say hello to...I was so pressed for time and only had 3 hours from the time I got there Saturday until the show closed at 6, so I sort of tore thru! I was also WAY tired - only got a few hours of sleep the night before - so I hope those of you who I did get to meet will forgive me if I seemed a bit foggy!
I was so hoping to make it back that evening for the Flame Off - but alas the "business" dinner I HAD to attend with my husband dragged on and on (I was silently going stir crazy) and I wouldn't have made it back in time no matter what! I sure appreciate all those that were so sweet to me, though - and thanks Julie for the photos! Those pieces look amazing!!!
I was thrilled to see Missy Pam Pitts and her gorgeous Marbles; it's amazing what she does in 104!!! I also saw some of Loco's new boro work...is there anything that lady can't do? I'm gonna beg her to show some of it here soon!!! I was lucky enough to snag a Dragon Sperm in my favorite color combo: pink & black! They are so cute - if you don't have one yet, you MUST get one soon! Carla was a doll, of course, and her work is so sweet and PERFECT!!! Malcolm showed me how the Japanese Air Torches work - I was hypnotized!!! Donna from The Mandrel said hello, and I HAD to buy a couple patterned Dichro 104 strips from Mike Frantz - my first of this stuff to play with. Brent - what a sweetie - was so nice!!! I'm now the lucky owner of his new DVD on Boro, and couldn't leave his booth without making a small but heart-felt contribution to the Shannon Hill Fund Raiser. A lovely lady (was it Jenny? please forgive me duh-ness!) with TAG generously gave me a few rod samples to play with (Taxco and Tibet), and there was such amazing and diverse work on display!!!
I did find an amazing brass Skull stamp that was being offered by Mr. and Mrs. Robert Snodgrass, but I was plum-busted and it was - for now - out of my price range Maybe next time...
I sure had fun seeing everyone, though - hope to be there next year and for sure, I'll allow for a lot more time to visit!
I'd love to see more photos if anyone else has some! I'd definitely like to see that rocking chair!!!
De

I'm fairly certain this is the first place winner by Team Northstar, Skull Chandelier. If you look close in the background, you will see the rocking chair! And it is in the background of 'flower' picture too. There's a guy standing there whose height just comes up to the arms of the chair!
