there are some meetings with vendors at certain times, but other times I'm roaming the halls by myself...or with whoever wants to hang. Still gotta make a route plan of where I have to be and where I want to visit...hopefully by the end of this week.

That's when you gotta put them in their place. It's like breaking a wild stallion. A little difficult, but once it is done, the stallion is obedient.

I must be missing something...the few times I went never had anything worth looking at.

I'm a SEMA veteran now. Just stick with me Rookie and I'll teach you the ropes. ;) lol
I already got all the booths and vendors I want to see including the celebs listed down like a month ago.
But yea... bring comfortable shoes and a backpack if you like to horde free stuff like I do. I'm a pack rat!
If you get hungry easily, maybe sneak a snack in your bag because the snack lines will be super long and that's good SEMA time you're wasting standing in line!
Also... bring more than 1 memory stick!

The only celebrities I want to see are Matt Hughes, Quinton Jackson and Georges St. Pierre. lmao... not car-related at all.

I'm just a big fan of MMA since I used to do it.

really???

Ok, I'll tag along with HJ. I still can't believe you brought back that much crap. Quality > quantity

really???

Yea.
Started off with Tae Kwon Do when I was 11 and continued that until I was 23.
During that time, I started taking Muay Thai when I was 15 to 16.
16 to 17, I started training Brazilian Jiujitsu.
For about a year, I was taking three martial arts at one time going to two classes a night. haha.
Then when I moved up to Seattle for college, I found Maurice Smith's school up in Bellevue.
Continued Muay Thai with a bit of MMA on the side, but not too long since the drive was far and part time job got in the way.
Then tried my hand at Wing Chun Kung Fu, which I had little patience for so I quit after 3 months.
I tried Wushu Kung Fu shortly after that and found this was way more difficult than anything else I've ever tried with all the acrobatics and crap.
Was cool learning some weapons though.. they teach it to you from day 1!
Still wasn't my thing so I quit after like 6 months.
Then I found Marcelo Alonso's school in the UW district and continued BJJ again for a few months until I got a different part time job teaching competition Tae Kwon Do.
And now I'm back in Hawaii and super out of shape. lol.
Thought everyone on BFC knew that I was a martial arts fan???

Don't worry... If you grab as much crap as I do... you'll get quality in there somewhere with all that quantity. ;)

Well... considering that our "benefactor" doesn't want scanned stuff coming through the mail... lol

I think Jeff meant scan as in look at it quickly, then dump.
