The West Coast Cycle World IMS Shows – Winter 2009: Hello. It is time for my semi-annual blog! The IMS show series is a bit different this year, as instead of 13 shows, there are only 11. Two of the “west coast” shows have been dropped. Both the Phoenix and Houston shows have been dropped from the tour. I am disappointed that Phoenix is no longer on the schedule, since it was not only a good show for us, but a fun city. It is always nice to visit a warm, sunny state in November. I am not so worried about the Houston show being dropped as I prefer the Fort Worth/Dallas area, anyway.
So this year the show series started in Dallas, TX. I do not have any entertaining airplane stories since I had the pleasure of flying out of Allentown, PA, rather than Philadelphia. Flying from Allentown is like a dream compared to Philly. Everything is so quick and smooth and easy. It’s just wonderful. J
It is always fun to go to the first show of the series and see all the regular vendors as well as the Advanstar staff (Advanstar being the company that puts on the shows) for the first time in 9 months. And of course, we also get to see our regular customers (hello Wick!), which is always enjoyable. We also had a chance to spend some time with our friend Mark, who you may have seen at the show promoting his product, Cycle Cynch. We had an opportunity to have dinner with Mark at the lovely Texas de Brazil and had a great time. As always, Texas de Brazil did not disappoint...(Click here to read more...)
