Coyote Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Just wondering. If so, how many meetups have you gone to? I'm going next year for certain. Watch out for the smart-mouthed redheaded female.
Mumbles Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 I've unfortunately let my membership lapse. I need to re-up soon. I plan on also making it next year at the very least.
calebkessinger Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Getting ready to go to the convention here. This is my first year as a member and my first pgi conv.
TYRONEEZEKIEL Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Caleb! you will be attending?! Im also going again this year. It will be my second convention. Get ready for the most absolutely intense pyro experience of your life.
ddewees Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 Getting ready to go to the convention here. This is my first year as a member and my first pgi conv. I thought you didn't take vacations...
calebkessinger Posted July 7, 2015 Posted July 7, 2015 If it's a vacation I shoulda just thrown down the same money and spent a week in malta ! Spending a small fortune to get there and hoping to make it all back with some tool sales. I am getting closer to having 1000 lbs of lead media ready to go , some modified mills built, various tools done I hope. Really just trying to go meet some people and help everyone put a face to the name. My Whole family is tagging along and going on to yellowstone and other places throughout the week.. that should make for a Great 15 hr drive up there! I still haven't secured a camper to stay in for us. I bought a cheap suburban off of craigslist to make the drive in seeing how I will be pulling a ton of balls and people the minivan won't do. First thing it needed was a transmission! poof 2000 bucks more gone... ahhh.... alert . alert, credit cards are full !! But, we had a GREAT 4th here selling firecrackers and a couple other things are seeming to line up alright. Hopefully it all comes together nicely and we all don't get too stressed out during the trip. I'm REALLY looking forward to seeing everyone and all of their creations!! I am thinking of MFF as more of a VACATION, I will probably be going to that BY MYSELF . is that bad? Hey Dan. now that you are closer to that do you think you will go to MFF ? :)
ddewees Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 I hadn't thought about it, but will consider it if it's not the last weekend in September. Good for you on pgi... Should be memorable at least.
ddewees Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Looks like MFF is the same weekend as the MAPAG open house... That won't work out then. Doesn't make sense driving 12 hours, when I can do essentially the same thing 40 minutes away. Maybe next year...
calebkessinger Posted July 8, 2015 Posted July 8, 2015 Of Course it's the last weekend of Sept !!! arrrrrr. bummer.
uncrichie Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 Does anyone know the location of the 2016 PGI or any others further out? Thanks, Kurt
Mumbles Posted July 13, 2015 Posted July 13, 2015 2016 is back in La Porte, Indiana. Not sure about future locations. They used to be listed on the PGI website, but not any more. They typically cycle in a general rotation, so by looking at previous locations, you might be able to get a good guess for the future. They have been integrating new sites over the last few years, so I'm not sure how things will work in the future. I do know they have often had problems with Appleton, WI, so that may not longer be happening. http://pgi.org/convention/sites.php
Hillbilly66 Posted July 14, 2015 Posted July 14, 2015 New here but quick question slightly off topic. If I'm a rest ail vendor is the PGI a benefit to someone such as myself? Or is more to do with the display side of fireworks? Thanks for your help.
