Well, that headline is aimed at our good friend, Mr. Wayne James, of the Texas Lathing and Plastering Association and the One-Coat Stucco Association, who wrote me a nice letter telling me about TLPCA's new CD-ROM as well this year's TLPCA 50th anniversary Annual Convention to be held in Austin, June 20-22. These regional shows are a lot of fun and very informative. However, the title of this column really references a line in Wayne's letter that read, "Please don't invite me to any more Walls & Ceilings parties. I don't think my health could stand it!" I guess we throw a good party and I do remember Wayne complaining about constantly having to deal with a full margarita glass every time he turned around!
It was great to see so many familiar faces and meet some new ones at this year's AWCI show held in March (two weeks ago, as of this writing). Everyone's spirits seem to be pretty high and optimism pervaded the show. We got some good feedback from associations, manufacturers and readers in person, and as a journalist, it's nice to actually physically interact with these folks. We even got a chance to socialize with our distinguished competition and found we have a similar goal: finding the best information we can for the industry. Imagine that!
