So I have been going to Las Vegas for the SIA trade show for the past 14 years. I think i only missed one year. Anyways this is the last year the show will be in Vegas :-( It is moving to Denver cause somebody got a sweet deal on a convention spot there. Many people are stoked, I on the other hand am pretty bummed. I like Vegas. A lot of people don't, but I think its a real fun time in the middle of the year that breaks up the winter. Kinda like spring break, but it's "winter break." Recently the Vegas Trade show has been has been a bit different for me now that I work for K2. I used to be able to sleep in until when ever, but now I have to wake at 8:00 in order to be at the show to help sell our awesome K2 boards. Its fun and I love it. I love seeing peoples reactions to the boards I worked so hard on all year. Its very rewarding. Anyways, Vegas will be missed by me. So here are my photos from the last vegas trade show ever. enjoy!
