    2014 SEMA Cocktail hour- Date is Wedensday Nov 5th!!

    Ladies and gentlemen,

    The cocktail hour will be at the same location as last year at the same time. That is

    The Riviera Hotel Lounge (Next to the R Steakhouse").
    Nov 5th, 2013 (changed due to SEMA banquet dinner on Thursday)
    6PM-8PM
    Comped Beer and House Wine till our FFR tab runs out then you're on your own! You may also decide to stay and have dinner at the R Steakhouse. The food is great.

    So, when you leave the convention center, cut across the parking lot and head over to the Riviera Convention Entrance, (not the Las Vegas Blvd Entrance) and look for the FFR signs. We'll have the patio at the steakhouse for cocktails and rubbing elbows with each other. You'll be given a wristband for the cocktail hour when you sign in.

    Erik,

    I don't know if Doug's count includes Danny and myself but we'll be there also.

    If you mean 2014, I'll be there with the Half-Fast Hot Rod crew from Arizona!

    Dave,
    Sorry to hear that, but I'm wondering how is it that the 'Administrator' of 'THE Factory Five Forum' is not getting a ticket to SEMA?

    What if you took the initiative and organized the HB show, like a real stand-up west coast FFR employee would? NO wait, you've done that.

    What if you flew cross country from LA to Boston and supported the efforts of the FFR Open House in June? NO wait, you've done that, too.

    Have you asked Dave Smith for one? If so, I hope my shameless attempts at guilting him into including you succeed!

    Thanks,
    Will

    Tony, you're awesome. Looks like I have it covered though, as of just about an hour ago

    Thanks for the effort man. I'll sport you a cold one at the gathering!

    The power of persuasion comes through. I was beating the bushes looking for a pass for you David. Looks like a great gathering again this year.
