Come on, get busy. I set up and torn down booths in the past along with pacing the show floor to get pics and shake hands on top of travel (which was by truck) and still get 300 pics up the next day after getting home.

You're slackin'.

I hope you have a pic of everything for sale there.

By the way, how was attendance? From the pics I saw (not just yours), the show floor looked barren.

I know there is allways something worth looking at but what is the buzz? Are people buying? Are they saying F it?

Did you get into the ITA meetings and see what their next plan is? (like they have any outside of their circle)

What was new at the seminars?

How 'bout new spooge?

financing?

bodies still interested in the tanning industry?

Did you party like there was no tomorrow?

I'm still debating between the Veraspa and the Mystic cartridge system. The Mystic that has the half-shell, like the veraspa is $15k, vs the Veraspa at $20k

main difference is the Veraspa has a washdown feature, whereas the Mystic has to be totally wash down by hand.

The Mystic Mymist has total wash down, and a full shell. it is $22k.

Now the sale pitch for the Veraspa is it also sprays skins treatments and stuff. But i would think that since both of the Mystic systems uses cartridge system that Mystic will eventually come out with spa/skin treatments in the future.

Mystic systems with cartridges allows you to use different solutions for each customers, where Veraspa has only had one solution container for tanning. Had 3 containers total, one for skin treatment, and one for for something else.

The Veraspace could also be set to just spray just the face area, or legs, etc..

I liked both, but my gut is leaning towards the Mystic Mymist at
$22k.

Just so you know, I believe that Tan America were donating some,(not sure of the percentage) of the proceeds of the sales of the "pink" version of the bed to the breast cancer society. Recently, members of their group of friends and family were diagnosed with the disease. Good people.

MYSTIC. Has a "MyMist version" knock off of Magic's Versaspa. Looks like they got the idea and built it ON the airplane ride to Nashville.

Well Mystic has a very different story. Might need to call them for the truth and then you won`t wonder what really happened.

I saw the Pepto colored Solarix & also the other one that looked identical to the ISO L33.

They are telling everyone it is better than the ISO units yet no one has one yet or has even metered one.
