Title: Who will be at the GR Show ???
Post by: Firefighter Jeff on March 08, 2011, 12:17:38 AM
  I'm working on getting a trip together with my brothers and a friend of theirs for Friday the 18th.  I'm interested in finding out what sponsers from the site will have booths there and what members are planning on being there that day.  Hope to see you there !!  Thanks,  Jeff

I think Drop Shot Denny's will be there, but haven't confirmed.

Matteson Marine will be there.

Wayne and Xtreme Bass Tackle will be there.

Case Plastics usually have their products in one of the tackle shop booths there.

I'll have to check on Garneau Baits to see where they'll be. Maybe Al and Bobs if they have a large booth?

I believe Scott and Revolution Baits will be sharing a booth with the MSU fishing team.

I'll have entry forms for the big Wonderland Marine West open tournament at my booth 1927.

I'll be there on Friday and Saturday working in the Al and Bobs booth.  Case Plastics will be in our booth as usual.  I'm pretty sure Garneau baits will have their own booth...

I might show up to destroy a few displays! We will see. I need some accessories for my birds before I can spend any money on tackle and rods and the like. Just depends. I'll have to stop and say hi to all of you I guess, and find out the tricks for the spring open!!

I'll for sure be there a day or three, but can usually only stay in any given booth until they notice I'm there and rum me off.  Then it's on to the next one.

You can stay in my booth for a while. I'll even let you talk to people. Real people. Not imaginary ones.

I'll be down there late Friday afternoon, late Saturday afternoon, and all day Sunday.  Spending some time in the GLB booth as well as the Nemesis baits display.

I'm sure some of my time will also be devoted to running interference between Eric and you REAL people, pestering Don in the NBAA booth (and heckling at his seminars), and eating a lot of Deerings sample jerkey!

I'll be around there most of the show.  Thursday evening, Friday, Saturday and Sunday probably all day.  I should be in the Xtreme booth most of the time or somewhere near by.  Feel free to stop and BS any time.

Going down to DeVos Place tomorrow to help set up Denny Geurink's booth. Denny guides hunts to Russia for a variety of critters. He has a 7 or 8 foot bear that he has next to his booth. He's got the green light to get in there early before the boats etc. start to arrive so he can get his teddy bear in.
I'll be in DK's GLB booth 3-6 on Thursday. Sure hope State doesn't play then, but I think I heard their first game is Friday. Does DK have a flat screen we can watch in his booth? Also, do I need to bring my own snacks. If so, does he have a mini fridge?  Some of my snacks are better warmed so a microwave would be cool. Those three hour shifts can cause my blood sugar to drop if I don't have at least a bag of Made Rite chips, some salsa, french onion dip, a pecan caramel cinnamon roll, etc. I guess I could check to see if Taco Bob's across the street is staying open beyond lunch. They could run me over one of their funny tacos. Nunzia's is just up the stairs behind Taco Bob's in the Michigan National Bank building directly arcoss the street from the DeVos Place entrance. They may be staying open later and their paninis are awful good.

Dan... I may not have all the items you are asking about... I have a small cooler. Maybe an ice pack. No mini-fridge. Sorry. Probably only water in the cooler.

Microwave...? Now that I think about it...

Nope. No microwave.

I DO have a flat screen TV. Yeah!

No cable though... DVDs!?!

Tell you what. I'll give you a 10 minute break. At 6pm.

You're welcome.

Charlie Sheen started out without a microwave in his trailer, so I guess I can make my GLB debut with just a ham sammich.
