I will be there all 4 days! I will also have stickers to hand out! If you see me, feel free to yell out "BIG SQUID RC!!"
I have t-shirts in the works.. I just got some test ones back, need to do a quick fix.. will have them ready to order by monday night.
I'm sorry to say that at the moment.. they aren't cheap. ($20) This is just a quick way to get shirts to people, and because I don't have the funds to order a ton up front, or want to keep 100 shirts in the office, they cost a little more then I want.
They look pretty awesome though, and I'll have pics and information how to order monday/tuesday. My test order only took 4 days to arrive, so that's plenty of time before the show.
I also called about handing out flyers (RC Universe did this before they were big) but they have banned that now.  You can only hand out stuff if you have a booth. (about $2000, and they are sold out, not that I could afford it.. maybe next year! That's going to be a new goal) _________________ Brian(at)BigSquidRC.com http://www.BigSquidRC.com

hey I got a question , Do they sell stuff at teh Expo or is it just stuff to look at?
Originally if they sell stuff I would like to go on Sunday , and try to get some deals so the booth reps dont have to load it back up and rather sell it at a discount . If not then prolly Saturday would be the day , I am going to check with Fonz and see whats good for him . I already talked to Predator and he first said Sat but I mentioned them selling crap so then Sun sounded good to him too .
Brian , do they sell or just display stuff?
Eric I will let you know

you might want to contact them about the group thing...
I believe they mean groups of 'boy scouts or girl scouts'. I'd bring some cash incase they say no.
They do sell stuff there.. many of the hobby shops (al's.. leisure) have booths there.. the venders do make good deals on sunday.
Can't wait to see everyone up there!
Brian
