I thought I'd pass along this convention info I just got from Archie.

Hi Greg:

I'm at Bob Mera's store playing with his web tv and thought I would pass along to you some info just received from Mike Skelton you may release on the BB if you wish.

We are completely sold out on our dealer tables (92 tables this year..... PLUS 25 exhibitor tables) Those dealers who did not return contracts to Mike by the deadline do not have tables. Lots of new faces will have tables this year which means new material that has not been seen before. Mike has a waiting list right now of 5 or 6 additional dealers wanting tables.

The ballroom at Orleans is over 16000 square feet just to give you an idea of the space available that we will be occupying. If the tables went ths fast, I don't know how long our block of rooms will last. I stayed at Orleans last week while attending a Pin Fest at Hard Rock. I'm confident that everyone will be pleased with the facilities at Orleans. 72 lane bowling alleys.... 12 movie theaters... excellent buffet .... beautiful rooms, etc.

Thanks for listening. Archie Black
