Next stop, SurfExpo

Well, after MAGIC we were headed to SurfExpo in January of 2008 for our first ever show in Orlando. Now this show is geared more for my line of clothing, catering to the Resort Wear and the Boutique buyers. Same crummy little booth but we wrote more orders and were encouraged in our efforts. The model is my very lovely and super talented wife.

Our first show - MAGIC

Our very first show in Las Vegas, Nevada. MAGIC. You have NO IDEA how large this show is. Several square miles and row after row of every item of clothing and manufacturer known to mankind. No joke. Over 130,000 buyers attend this show every single year. It was an amazing experience. We wrote three orders during our first show. Disappointing but predictable. Retailers wants to see you back there a couple of times before they order with you. Part of this VERY EXPENSIVE learning curve. Here is a pic of our crappy little corner of this world. Each square foot of this booth cost $117 each day. That's my little bro' in the pic.
