This past week Arto was at PCBC held at the Moscone Convention Center in San Francisco. A first for this generation: a trade show so far from home base. I think Arto himself did a trade show in Vegas, once.
This first pic was taken on the roof of Moscone. The convention hall is subterranean, very cool.
These pics are of our booth and crew. The crew all did an awesome job. Left to right; Stephanie, Sarah, Will & Sam (I am in the third one down, far right). These pics were taken at 2:59 PM on Friday, the show ended at 3PM. The booth was well used, but everything still looks great doesn’t it?
These are pics of our (convention hall) neighbors. The last ones are a series & one of them was having fun.

Sarah & I hung out Friday with the crew of Buena Tile, exhibiting at the Dwell show in Los Angeles. It was a good bonding event for the two companies. I put it on par with a 12 hour road trip to Albuquerque New Mexico.

I heard about this install and only had my cell phone camera with me. It’s in a Catholic church on the coast in Orange County, CA. I forget now where it is (and what it’s called). I need to find it again.

You usually see government officials at car plants or farms, in mainstream businesses. It is weird to see them in one’s own industry. More here.

This is at Bourget Flagstone in Santa Monica. It has been installed for more than five years, the beautiful colors caused by the exposure to dirt and water.

Arto is now charging for pallets, as we have grown we have had a need to get consistent quality pallets. Since the beginning we have been keeping prices low by asking our neighboring dealers to bring pallets. Here is what they look like.

Will sent me this link. The emphasis on Green should be tied to Greed. Why, “conservation” is the key not just a small carbon foot print.

It started out as a weed, a plant in the wrong place. Now it seems at home.
