2011 Bead and Button Show Milwaukee

[nafglass]

Hey folks! Wondering who's going this year. I'll be there and it would be great to split hotel costs if anyone else is going solo. Let me know! Hope to see lots of familiar faces there! Anyone else have any tips or advice who have done the show before?

I might go down there and bum around. You'll see some nice work there, marbles some sculpture. I went two years ago and everyone vending glass art sounded pretty dismal. At any rate, if you're into crazy cat ladies, you will be in heaven. Should be able to hook up some deals on supplies if any supply distributors come. It usually falls on the weekend of the wifes birthday, so its always up in the air if Ill go. Good luck with the show!

Kinda the same with me. Caught it last year on the way back from the Phish Chicago show, but not sure if I'll make it this year. I noticed last year supplies were mostly bead related (imagine that), but there were deals to be had. Lots of luck at the show. Do you know your booth number yet? If I stop in, I'd like to stop by and say "hey".

Anyone else from the forum vending this show?

I haven't got my booth # yet but I'm curious what you do Harold. Do you get the 5x10 or spend the extra $300 for a 10x10. Do people notice the 5x10's at the edge of the rooms?

[hwcglass]

I have a 10x10 corner.

If you have never done the show before, get the cheapest, simplest thing you can. Improve with experience, see what you see and then make changes.

And the 10x5 tables on the edge of the show do very well, yes. That's keeping it simple.

Thanks for the advice Harold! Looking forward to seeing you there!
