I got an email from Welding tips and tricks. Talking about a show. I saw there is another next year. Here are my questions.

Now, I am 32. haha But, I've never really went anyplace myself. Brain injury in 03. Left with no smell and like 8% of my vision. I guess, it would be easy to find my way around. My question is, how many days does it take to see all the stuff? I mean, being as I have 8% of my vision, I can not drive. So, I would have to pay for a hotel and a cab or bus.

Then, I weld as a hobby. I taught myself to weld. But, I totally dig new tools and tech stuff. Would I find the event interesting?

I live in Maryland. So, not that far away really. I mean, it would be a long bus ride. But, I like driving. Gives me time to think.

Hey, Glow, sorry to hear about the injuries. My bet is since you're here on this forum, a welder and interested in fabrication, you'd enjoy Fabtech. It's an annual show that occurs in a different city each year- for the past couple years it's been in Las Vegas and Chicago, but next year it's in Atlanta.

The show lasts 3 or 4 days, and it's hard to see every booth snd display. Jody's WT&T podcast dedicated an episode to Fabtech recently, and gave some tips: wear comfortable shoes, have a plan to get to the vendors and displays you want to see. Give it a listen to the podcast to make your own plan.

I hope you can make it!

Ive been to 3 Fabtechs.

You will totally want to visit everything and its very easy to become overwhelmed.

My 1 rule of thumb and these are going to be wise words to die with:

VISIT THE OCEANETTES!!! Dear lord they are hot.

My mom said she would go with me. haha Nothing like being 33 and having your mom at a tool show.

Seems going alone would be boring though. Nobody to talk with, about all the stuff you've seen.
