is this announcement about next years event -

FROM ALL OF US AT IMAGO TRADESHOWS, BNP MEDIA, AND NDREXPO SHOW MANAGEMENT, THANK YOU FOR ATTENDING THE 2009 NDREXPO IN NEW ORLEANS!
With 2009 in the books, we are excited about the possibilities ahead. We have built a solid foundation on which the NDR Conference & Expo can grow. We could not have done this without your support!

We will be announcing 2010 dates shortly, and expect a major announcement in the coming weeks regarding partnerships on NDR that will grow attendance, attract quality buyers, and ensure this event reaches its potential.

Our goal has been and continues to be to provide a forum for Disaster Professionals to work together before tragedy strikes; to offer an opportunity for Disaster Professionals to learn more about each other, how they affect each other, how they can rely on each other, and how they can work together to ensure loss of life and property resulting from the next catastrophic event are minimized. We will continue to work tirelessly to achieve these goals and objectives, and look forward to your feedback and ideas on how these can be best achieved.

Again - THANK YOU!
Sincerely,
Jimmy Mouton - President, Imago Tradeshows
Scott Easton - Director of Sales, Imago Tradeshows

-How and when did you get into the carpet cleaning industry? I don't really think of myself as "In the industry" so much as on the sidelines looking in and laughing.

-You and Larry Cooper appeared to be best buddies and were in cahoots to take over this industry, what went wrong? I honestly had NO IDEA that was his daughter at the awards presentation diner..

-What other career paths were you considering and or have currently fantasized about? I'd love to have a hot dog cart outside Wrigley Field as well as dabble in time share sales.

-Many have said the Robert Allen must have some dirt on you since he is allowed to break your rules on your forum at will. I personally think it’s your way of pissing me off, which is it? Yes to both but to be fair, the day I'm fired I'm gonna expose the hairlip jackass for what he really is..

- How many cleaners read ICS magazine every month? More than you'll ever see on this stupid blog.

-I was somewhat disappointed with the turnout at Mikefest this past February. I blame the economy and lack of support from the local suppliers in the area in which it was held. What factors do you blame for having less than 50 people show up to your event in New Orleans? What can I say, I guess I've worn out my welcome, are you hiring Mikey?

-Would you ever use VLM to clean your carpet at home? What does VLM stand for again?

-Have any of the 80 vendors who showed up in New Orleans asked for their money back from you? All of them. So are you hiring?

-If you were to start your own carpet cleaning business whose business model/plan would you try and duplicate? Stanley Steemers

-When you were being escorted out of Connections in Florida this year for violating their rules by trying to drum up vendors for New Orleans, did you think to yourself.. “Well now I know how Ken Harris felt”? Well to be honest the thought did cross my mind. Cooper will pay, trust me, oh he WILL PAY!

-Was it Danny Strickland or Jimmy Ladwig who caught you reading a copy Clean Fax in the men’s bathroom @ Connections and was his pointing it out really solid grounds on which to ban him off your forum? That was low, even for you Mikey but yes the thought did cross my mind. It was Danny and he can KMA.


Thanks Evan!

No, thank YOU Mikey, it was a hoot.
