I got a job back in March with the Outdoor Industry Association working in membership after working for Golite for awhile. The Outdoor Retailer shows are our 'super bowl' events so it was a busy time for me in the membership department, running around signing up new members and meeting existing members. I've been on these forums for years and being a gear junky it was like being in gear heaven!! I didn't get a chance to really look at gear or post during the week but, here are some pics of my adventure at OR and the people I met.
Main entrance to the Salt Palace
Big Agnes on the show floor
Best Poster at all of OR!!
Meeting MIke Clelland at a book signing, Thanks Mike!
Meeting Ueli Steck– see his video of climbing the Eiger before I even have lunch
Met Will from BPL at where else but the Cuben Fiber booth…
Aug 9, 2011 at 11:11 pm #1767730Awesome! We were just saying this is what we needed… thanks!
Aug 10, 2011 at 1:22 pm #1767910Thanks! I wish I could have done more reviews or gotten more pics for you guys but, I was so busy running around. Most of these shots were taken during Happy Hour, which seemed to start at 4 pm sharp at the show..
Aug 12, 2011 at 10:48 am #1768660Are we getting any info on the summer 2011 Outdoor Retailer show from BPL? I don't usually read the weekly emails from BPL so maybe they said it's coming up, but I'm used to seeing it show up real-time on the days of the show (which was over on the 7th). Anybody know? I see by your pictures that Will and Mike were there, so hopefully we will eventually see some info. I'm hoping that the hard financial times at BPL aren't preventing them doing any sort of coverage on this event.
