Vegas

Oh well, back from Sin City and, as Shaboy said, "It's cold and the Eagles are losing; it's good to be back in Philly." I concur. As for the big show, it was big. Many new products-especially in the eco friendly lines. Biodegradable, recycled, reusable, environmentally safe, etc. were this year's buzz words. We've all seen apparel, bags, water bottles and the like but now there are pens that break down faster, plastic bags that degrade into pixie dust and much, much more. On the apparel side, many exciting opportunities arose as we met with a bunch of our "preferred guys" and worked on getting and doing some things that will help us all in these economic times i.e. special pricing tiers, specials on set-ups and shipping and much more. Many suppliers have also expanded their lines and there are many new digs to choose from. Be sure to contact your AP rep to get the newest catalogs in your hands. As is always the case in Vegas, there was fun to be found. We were treated to a fabulous dinner and were wined and dined while we were there. It was good to be the king but now, we're back home and I'm working like a slave again. 2 more weeks and then I am off to Ecuador-véale pronto ("see you soon"-I think-mi espanol not so good)
