Count James and I in for the Thursday thing. We should be there around lunch time on Thursday. That is if James can keep up with me?

Thank you again guys for trying to get me a ticket..I got one.

I was planning on it, but if you would prefer to have it at the vacation home you'll be staying at, my feelings won't be hurt .

Let me know.

What's up with Vegas this year. Even crappy Mardi-Grass wants $200/night. Most good ones are at $300. I stayed last year at crappy Imperial Palace for $120.

That show is mostly for hard parts. Mainly repair and service parts equipment and tools etc. whereas SEMA is aftermarket and custom goodies.

Ticket, perhaps is a bad way to describe it. It is called a pass.

Starting last year, SEMA crack down on general public attending the show under fake business cards. So now in order to get in, they require you to prove to them that you work for a automotive related business, simply showing a business card is not enough. They also limited a number of passes per company, as to keep attendance to a more manageable level.

If you need to attend try to have your local automotive shop register you through www.SEMA.org. If you are waiting to do it at the show, on Tuesday morning, get ready to have thousands of people ahead of you, a fight at the counter and half-day spent waiting in line.
