How many people are coming to Florida to the Vetric convention.

I looked into going but it doesn't look like I''l make it this year.

I'm on schedule to get the house re-roofed for the week after the meeting is and was told this time frame could change so I need to leave that time open just in case. From what I have been told most of these busy roofers around here will move you to the end of the list if you have to reschedule the date instead of sliding everyone else that has had to wait this long. High winds and hail early this year have this area's roofing and glazing people working overtime to finish jobs and lack of materials is not helping the problem.

Remember dinner and drinks are on me Friday night spouses included. Hj you have my phone number. Jay and sebastion I will pm you guys with my number. We are driving up on Thursday after I leave the shop should be in around 6 or 7 and we can meet then and figure out where we are going on Friday night. I was looking forward to meeting Scott and possibly 4D, but maybe next time.

Jay -- you flying or driving?

Monitor Vectric's site to see if they even make it. Airlines are already letting us reschedule.

I don't know what we're going to do yet.

We are flying. Arrive in Orlando at 2:40 PM on Thursday. We are keeping a close eye on the weather. Can't find any update from Vectric. Nothing on the hotel's web site, either. The hotel reservation says you must make changes in your reservation at least 72 hours before your check-in. We are less than 48 hours out. My airline tickets are non-refundable. Hope the storm stays out to sea away from Florida.

Jay,

We're officially cancelling. Not going to take any chances. Hotel didn't have any problem with cancelling. Delta has already sent us an email and said they wouldn't charge us a penalty to change flying days or destinations. Vectric's people are probably already there. They are going to see what happens and are looking into something if it all goes to pot. We weren't scheduled to even land until late Thurs nite, so you might be ok getting there earlier --- if the airlines fly in. Keep me posted. I'll pm you my phone#.

The Vectric people are there. So if you can make it, I'm sure you can have a few one on one's with them. The problem is getting to Orlando and the weather if you can get there. Flights are now starting to be cancelled. I guess it's go at your own risk. I'm bummed too, but the risk isn't worth it, in my opinion.

The hotel is waiving cancellation charges because of the hurricame.

When I said we're cancelling, it was for my wife and I.

We are still planning on driving up today. My secretary aka wife is calling the hotel and convention coordinator to see if Vectric is going to cancel the Convention. We should arrive before the storm hits late tonight. My wife and daughter are ok with shopping in the mall that is attached to the hotel. Saturday is suppose to be clear. I will somehow get together with Jay And HJ to buy you guys dinner and beer. The money is burning a hole in my pocket. Sebashtion if you are still coming let me know and we try to meet up.

Mark,

See if you can get us a firestick that they hand out -- that has what is usually covered on it. If the power stays on, you will get a lot of info since there will be fewer people there. These guys are very approachable and accommodating. Keep us posted on what happens. You could be in for a "fun" week end. Kind of like when I would get "snowed in" during a major snowstorm. People act a whole lot different then, and actually help each other, are generally pretty nice, and make the best of it. Kinda cool.
