Cycle Show 2010

Make sure you get plenty of people who will man the stall (not just say they will and go all flaky) because 4 days of that shit is enough to drive any person insane to the point of murder.

I have to do a trade show every year - it fucking kills me. It is enough of a reason for me to look for another job. But then I hate the subject matter - Cycle Show would at least be interesting.

It is, for the first two hours!

doing a day or two at trade shows is a good laugh, doing all 4 would be a bit much, i'd imagine.

VB, take a tip from a stand i visited at a show earlier this year - hand out tequila shots ( in LGFSS branded shot glasses possibly) to interested parties. it won't cost much and creates a good buzz around the show.

I like the coffee machine idea best!

ok, coffee machine is a good idea.

but, you make it known that on request, under the counter, you can ask for a 'special coffee' : half whisky, half whisky.

served secretly in an espresso cup.

And curry.

Half chips-half rice on special request

and a big jar of pickled eggs on the counter.

and VB in a greasy white apron

Sounds like a good idea to me David. Maybe have a track stand comp or similar. That might draw a few people in. Would we able to have a couple of bikes there too.

i seem to have survived a few public lynchings so far

After too many trade shows in a previous life, best advice I can offer to those who've not done it before...

Shoes

shocker??

Well you are always denying your fauxmosexuality

a man can enjoy feeling pretty once and awhile

I'd rather be feeling someone who is pretty

sounds a bit naff to me.

i think people who are forum inclined will find us without the need for advertising !

Don't be mean about generally crumby shit

Nothing naff about deluded boys in sparkly shoes

sounds a bit naff to me.

...so, what you're saying is, we shouldn't have to tell people what LFGSS is all about. They should find out for themselves by utfs/jfgi?

sounds a bit naff to me.

People are often forum inclined without knowing it. If the idea never occurs to them, of course they're not going to search it up.

Wouldn't do locks that work it would be a pain to get permission to use trade names and theb if they fail could be open to being sued more important would be ways to lock a bike.

Will pop by and laugh as I 'think' i'll be there naval gazing.

coffee and forum baked cakes?
