NAHBS 2013 Denver, worth the trip??

[Luke]

I just seen the dates for the 2013 show, is it worth the trip???
-Luke

[Mabouya]

Yes, if you have the time.

I drove to Indy a few years ago and it was well worth it.

[pdmtong]

No, it is not worth the trip. Make other plans and forget about heading to Denver.

[Mabouya]

So I guess it's a 50-50 proposition. Flip a coin, heads you go, tails you don't.

I wonder if the OP feels "lucky"?

[Mabouya]

[Jonathan]

Yes, you should go. Its a great opportunity to meet framebuilders, suppliers and get infected with some cool stuff.

[ron l edmiston]

i plan on attending, much to smile about.. --- maybe tammy too..

[Luke]

Thanks guys...love the term 'infected'. Hmmmmmmm.

There is a vibe and level of interaction at the show that makes it worth the trip. You will not get that from looking at pictures online.

That being said, I'd have a hard time justifying flying to Denver in February only to stand under fluorescent lights in a convention hall for three days. I'd much prefer to be standing on some rented Dynastars gliding down a nearby slope.

That's why I'll be making a week of it!

Well played!


I've got family all over Denver. Perhaps I will look in to a similar option.

And bring a bike and skis.

I'm really hoping to attend and bring one or the other, or both. I am bummed I missed NAHBS in Sacramento this year....

As will I, you bringing a mountain bike?

It's worth the trip at the very least for the chance to come by and heckle me on rookie row.

[SteveP]

No firm plans yet. I'm hoping to fly, so that will cut into the stuff I can take. We'll see...

No heckling from me-I'm excited for anyone who shows up and puts stuff on a table. There is enough heckling in our own heads!
