5/21/08 — E-commerce on our site has changed from an order form to a shopping cart. The new setup is more intuitive and familiar. If you find any vestiges from the old setup, bear with us. We're still weeding out a few.
At the urging of my trusted advisor Kelly, I have been dragged (kicking and screaming) into MySpace.
You can now visit our brand new MySpace page at www.myspace.com/shubbcapos. So there.
This year's Shanghai show was very much like last years; fast, busy, exciting, chaotic, and above all, LOUD beyond description.
At this time one year ago I reported that I felt many of the rough edges of this show would be smoothed out as the show matured. If there was any improvement this year, I didn't see it. Despite co-sponsorship by Messe Frankfurt, the Chinese style seems to trump the German influence.
Still there is business to be done there, and some of it manages to get done even under these mostly adverse conditions.
I've attended the Healdburg Guitar Festival several times in the past, but this was our first year exhibiting there. I was not able to be there myself, but our booth was capably staffed by Gary Mobley and Cindy Hawkins.
