Washoligy

I’m a little late (extremely late) posting my opinions and photos from the ICA convention in Orlando Florida in April 2008.  I apologize and will try to be more prompt in the future.

As a west coast business it’s difficult to get back east easily and we prefer the event when it’s in Las Vegas.  I know I said differently in an earlier post, but now that I’ve made the trip to Florida we prefer staying closer to home.  But the mouse world area is a great place to visit. I believe the convention will be held for the near future in Vegas making it easier for us to get in and out without much of an issue.  I’m sure guys from the east coast may not feel the same, but I know everyone loves going to Vegas. And we look forward to next year. That said Orlando is a great place for a convention and was well run and very well attended by my estimation.  The Peabody Hotel where we stayed is an awesome place to spend a few nights and getting around to the convention center was a breeze.  The ICA put on a fabulous event.

Here are a few of the highlights in my opinion,

• Great keynote
• TV style interview kept my attention
• Trade show was filled with great vendors
• Most of the educational seminars where well attended
• Ritz Carlton seminar was very informative and maybe the best I’ve attended

Some thing that could be improved,

• Some of the seminars are old and worn and need revamping
• The Disney event though good, but by Disney standards could a have been stronger

Overall I think the event was just what I expected and seemed we attended.  I expect to be at next year’s event as well.

Man Upset with Service at Car Wash allegedly drives car into computer, Police say!

Mar 31, 11:02 PM EDT AP) Nassau County police have arrested a Queens man for damaging a Long Island car wash with his car.

Authorities said the man was unhappy with the service he got at the Elmont car wash on Sunday afternoon. He was offered a second wash, but got angry at having to wait and drove his car into the computer controlling the facility, police said.

The computer controller was destroyed, and the man was charged with criminal mischief and reckless endangerment.

Washoligy will be attending the ICA convention in Orlando Florida this coming week, April 14th thru the 16th. We look forward in bringing you our imprecision’s and photos of the convention.

First I like to convey that we like the idea of the convention being outside Las Vegas. As one who visits Las Vegas, NV for conventions frequently, it’s nice to visit other locations in the country (though this will be my third visit to Orlando in two years). We look forward in catching up with old friends, vendors and acquaintances and having both an informative and enjoyable event. We’ll see you there.
