Great seeing folks from last year and meeting new folks. Bruce Boyer coming again was a nice surprise.

An important question from my wife for Fok or other staff members: where were the eclairs from?

It was a plasuje meeting many od you guys today. It was a wonderful event! I will definitely attend again next year. Meeting Bruce Boyer and Fabio Attanasio were definitely the highlights of the event. The bourbon and the eclairs were on point.

Bruce is a prince, and I had a great time meeting with all of you as well.

The eclairs are from Eclair bakery, and this is the second year we've worked with Stephane and his bakery. I still haven't sampled all the flavors.

my wife like Eclair bakery a lot, it's on 53rd btw 1st and 2nd (closer to 2nd) in case anyone in the city likes to drop by

We had a blast, and it was so great hanging with all you guys. We especially loved having a volunteer assistant at the YH Booth...Clare was awesome.

Thank you @LA Guy
 for hosting the event, I really enjoyed the show.


It was fantastic to meet many of you - thank you to everyone who came up and said hi. 

Special thanks to Yellow Hook Ties, whom were a pleasure to get to know today. Rob and Courtney are made of gold. 

*Blushes*....this guy is not only too kind, but incredibly talented at crafting leather in a way that just isn't done anymore. Kudos to a man who is pursuing his dream....the goods are top notch, out of this world.

Another great time. Had some great conversations, but didn't get to talk to everyone I wanted to talk to in sufficient detail. Ended up buying a Paolo Penko bracelet from the L'Arte Nascosta booth (at bottom):

Paolo Penko - pretty cool artisan from Firenze if we are thinking about the same one?

I'd also love to hear if/when this event will take place this year.

 

[Ambulance Chaser]

Bump. This happening this year, @LA Guy?

 

[Desi]

Truly the world wishes to know.

 

[Synthese]

It is not happening this year.

We decided to give it a year off. Event space rents have been climbing steadily, and we wanted to do an event in Florence in January, so we made the decision to shift or attention there. The show will be back next year, and hopefully with a renewed focus based on the connections that we are building currently. It'd be bad luck and poor business practice to say just exactly what I have in mind, but I think that it'll be to everyone's liking.

Meanwhile, if you ever thought of taking an Italian vacation, this is a great opportunity and flights right now for that period (January 9-12) are relatively cheap.

Cheers,

Fok.
