With what's happened I don't think it's a good idea to continue but if it's open and it looks like it will be, I'll be there.
Question is, will anyone else?

Re: FT. Lauderdale Boat show---check in please....
I heard the hotels are full with people that are missing homes.
But.....if you have a reservation they have to move out....
Who would want to put people on the streets just to be at a boat show???
I certainly will not!!

Get a grip! Self-importance is a disease that doesn't look good on anybody, regardless of your blessings or wealth.
No offense, OK?

You do have a point. I was actually going to the show to meet some of the OEM's and dealers at the show. I am a regional manager for Zoomers Marine. I put their mufflers on my boat--they look great and work even better!! I was going there for business purposes...and to see the show.The news actually doesn't tell you much at all about what it's like in Southern Florida. I have to get my info from people here on OSO.

The news hasn't been covering much on the aftermath, so if you don't live in the area, you don't know what it's really like there right now. Conditions are alot worse than we think, from talking to some of the OSO'ers who live there. Show Management just wants the show to go on because they don't want to refund the money from all the vendors.

Please don't act hastily. We are getting thing going here. They tell us we will not have power at my house for a while, but we were right in the Eye of the storm.
Most of you with reservations can wait til 48 hrs before to cancel. Please don't just give up on this town. It's a 2 way street, they played football this weekend to give the community something to do. I think the city needs the distraction, the $$ and the idea that life will go on.
I WILL be there to support the industry, even if I have to take a COLD shower and ride a scooter to get there. I would not miss the OL party for anything......
