The Cleaners Lounge Is Going to ICE!!

$ 200 for ICE fees ?? That's kind of steep, don't you think ?

200 was the Experience, ICE is 20.00.

Dang additional fees, Again those are not the attendee fees. I can go back and check my account too see what I paid two years ago

What's the difference ? What makes "the experience" expensive ?

I don't know DP. But ICE is a new show and The Experience has been around for a long time

Oh, so it's 2 different convention, now I get it.

We went to ICE last year, we just got back from the E expo, both shows were awesome, the E expo was really cool this year as Mikey was able to get a booth (BIG AREA) that allowed the TM's to run hoses into the building so we got to test them all out, Aero Tech, Butler, SS PRO1200, Klenco 47, HM, it was awesome, tested ALL the tools just a really great set up.
The cost is not even close....this trip cost way more...to drink,eat just about everything was more.
The SP hotel for ICE is beautiful every bit as nice as the Mirage to only thing different is you can go out and walk to other places for night life, other than that I liked to SP a little better.
Just two different shows but we are already signed up for ICE as it was just a great trip and looking forward to it again.

haha jk dave

haha, good one!

I'm working on my 3rd week now, I think, with DP's RotoVac loaner.

Maybe we should call them 'keepers'?

Tom you weren't at ICE when I went in 2013 when I went hope to meet in person at ICE.

I just went on the ICE site. The 20.00 was an August special, it's a 35.00 registration fee, it goes up to 45. oo in January.

I've never been to Experience but there were alot of nice giveaways the last day of the show the best being a Judson TNT give away and he's doing it again next year.

I might make it down some day but Im not really a vegas guy

would be cool to see all the new tool inventions etc

I just called the hotel the special pricing for ICE


is $50.00/night plus 12% tax use discount code ICE2016

So "the experience" is sponsored by Mikey's Board ?

How about you Dave ?

So I was looking at fares on alligent(cheap/direct) to LV. Thinking of dropping in to see my daughter; she's expecting hers/our 1st mid November. I think it would be special to just show up and surprise her. So I found round trip for about $110 or so. As low as $88 if booking way out down the road. Told my wife what I found and she says; best time to go is Jan/Feb. I chuckled(Experience Jan 21-22).
I don't drink, so I'd have to catch you guys early. Then go play slots. I always do good at the penny slots.

I am not a huge Vegas guy either, when you can't drink and don't really eat, the town loses some of its charm. Still, it will be a lot nicer there than in the 6 foot snow drift here at that time of year.

ya hope your ready for winter this year Mil

its going to be a monster, even here in seattle it will be pretty extreme most likely

Well, I plan on being in Nashville for most of it with a guitar.

I may try and swing it!

No he just had a huge booth area, Mike has his own shows, that he puts on a few times a year I believe.

Mo, no we were not there in 13, but we went last year and it was awesome.

That to me actually sounds more interesting and fun than the cleaners sausage-fest 2015.

Sweet!! You can do it!!!

I tell what the most important thing I got out of ICE a few years ago. I had the chance to use all of the rotary extractors on the market and hands down the RV 360i is the one I liked the best and id the one I would buy. I couldn't have know that so sure if I didn't try them all out.

I also got a chance to test upholstery tools and the SS Upholstery Pro tool just stood out and was unique. The lounge did the loaner a couple of months later and was raffled off to Dave.

Only 14 hours that 6 hour drive to California kills I can't even imagine driving for 14 hours. Actually I did drive across country when I was younger only stopped in San Antonio and New Orleans before getting to Tampa. NO I get sleepy after 3 hours and have to take a break

Really on the 360i?.......I guess the RX was too old to even be a loaner at that point?

I also still prefer the DM2 over the SS tool.....but like I said we all see threw different eyes.

Yeah It was lighter felt more maneuverable, didn't bounce around, the heads were easily interchangeable

You like the RX better than DPs 360i?

You know you can donate that ss tool back to lounge if you want.

You could also throw that SS in the classifieds.....I could actually use a second tool with the IMAX theater coming up on the schedule.

Looks like the guys from the Cleaners Lounge are here......
