So who is going to Interbike this year and what parties do you know of so far?

I'll be there the day before the show to help setup the booth and hopefully two out of the three days on the floor. I can’t take too much time away from the office. I'm pretty sure Crank Brothers is hosting another Ghost Bar party.

I'm going, the SGIA (printing) convention is the same week. No booth, but I'll be about.

I'll be working the dirt demo both days so come by and try out a new Bell or Giro helmet and see the Blackburn and Easton goods too. Then I'll be at the show all three days working there too.

True,

But this is the first year I feel a part of the party. "Cut" style...

Remember it does end just in time to go to some "good" clubs.

Don't get me wrong the disorder premieres are really fun but a few more ladies would spice it up nicely. In the bike industry the only women are typically there with their significant other.

Mandalay Bay. It's one of the staples of every Vegas trip I do. My experiences: good to great music selection, okay to decent to good ratios, expensive bar (where isn't?), and a smaller dance floor than the norm. It's not one of the BIG clubs in Vegas, so getting isn't much of an issue. I've had a great time each visit, thus why I keep returning.

I'll be there, count on it. Don't think I'll make it to Dirt Demo though. And it's looking like this year most of my nights are going to be dinners & work stuff, for at least part of the night, so that's a little lame, but at least it'll be some bomb-ass dinners.

Dude, they don't card anybody in Vegas unless they are an asshole. I've been drinking there since I was 16.

However who could resist the huge crowds, snotty sales reps, asshole manufacturers, not-so-new product releases, and overpriced beer that is Interbike. Oh wait I could resist that. Count me out Vegas is depressing, and I can hit on chicks and look at bike parts right here in SoCal.

I'll be there again. Booth #459, back in damn corner. I hate the people that do the floor plan. Pay for a bigger booth and get literally pushed in to the corner. We skipped Interbike for Eurobike last year and I'm tempted to do it again. Maybe a nationwide tour of shops, festivals, races, etc for the same $$ would less stress and more fun.

For you I can understand if you want to pass. Vegas is a 4 hour drive from the OC, and Parkfield is an additional 5 hours from the OC. For mtnbrider, Parkfield should be around 2 or so hours, give or take 30 minutes. Either way, I guess it comes down to how much driving one likes to do. Hopefully the two of you, and whoever else, can make it to Parkfield.

Hit me up if you're ever interested in going for a bike ride. I've been doing Aliso Woods and San Juan somewhat regularly, and have been wanting to do more (some?) road on top of that.

I've been slammed with work for the past three months but I would like to go riding when things slow down.
