This is bad news, Paul will be very close to my home so I have to lock myself in.

Please Paul update me when you back in Trump Land.

Unfortunately no I won't be there, as much as I'd love to fly a drone. I'm in operations so no trade shows for me, the only time I get out is when I travel to one of our other factories.

Paul,
Do you need credentials to attend the show ? I'd like to stop by wherever it's at and walk around if possible.


EDIT:
I'm free the next 3 nights if anyone wants to grab a bite.

I'm staying at
NH Collection
Nieuwe Doelenstraat 26
1012 CP, Amsterdam

It's either that or I'm going to get in trouble, as Daughter Rebel who was suppose to be with me was delayed and miss her connections.

You do Mark, but I can get you a badge; it might have a name like Jose Gonzales on it but it will get you in and all access. If you want it, text me or give me a call. I think I put my wrong number. It is 858-245-9681. I can give it to you tomorrow evening.

I'm free the next few days. I'm not Dutch but I've lived here the past 6.5 years. I can stop by the convention and/or the drinks later.
