Vision Kc meet up
Dec 15^th, 2015 at 9:32am

Hi everyone, as everyone knows I and a few others will be attending Vision this year.

Bob and I were talking where should we meet and after careful consideration of what other classes are being taught there we decided to meet at the Pico Booth. Bob and I thought everyone could post what classes they are taking and then post what times they are available, that way we can schedule a meet up to eat, have a beer, whatever. Everyone ok with that.

Spence, its not to late to change your mind

I think a lot of us would like to meet you in person. Put a face to the voice we hear during group therapy!!!

Here is my class schedule while I am at Vision. There is nothing personal on the registration that you can not find on the net any how

Craig, looking forward to meeting you as well. There are going to be a few other Nerdz there. I am working on Derreck to go as well.

I really can't wait for the classes. Not sure if I can sit down that long without moving around is my issue. Wink

Gonna be a long 4 days plus all the driving Wink

I have a Nerdz shirt I can wear while there. Maybe Tom can make a special shirt for us to wear while we are there. May buzz up Bob Heipp and drive his sales up even more Grin

If you think about it the classes are reasonable. Your average John Thornton class is 125 for four hours. But, the other bonus is networking and meeting new people and learning new techniques Wink

Karl, you should go!!! DPW will pay you back in a year or two Grin

Think they could make one like yours but have a picture of the Nerd emblem by make the Nerd Emblem look like a Bus? Then have the Auto Nerd Emblem on the back? Or maybe put down official HD Nerd on the front or back? Think that would be way cool. Cheesy

We don't have the sweatshirt style Ts anymore. But we recently got some new polo style shirts which are quite nice.

I wish we could just give them out to you guys, but they were expensive and the price just covers the cost of them.

heads up to everyone going. visions was pushing 'the environment' last year and I believe they will do so again. so unless you're in a classes like worldpac or atg, expect very small class handouts. last year most companies/instructors put up a link for a pdf download of the manual. make sure you write that down or take a pic. I also think it would be a good idea to share amongst ourselves if you guys want.
