Well, I am in San Francisco - or very near it anyway - for the annual HotSpring Kickoff. This is a dealer meeting for all of California and the western states. This is where we will see the new spas, colors, options, layouts, accessory items, and hear about the price increases....

You know, all the stuff we need to know for the new year.

I will bring you a report every night, if that is ok. Post, PM or delete if this is wrong... IMO this is exactly the kind of thing this board is about, that is, finding out what tub makers are offering. In this case, the maker will be Watkins Manufacturing, but will be limited to HotSpring, Tiger River, HotSpot and Solana Spas.

The meeting actually doesn't start until tomorrow, so for now I'll go do the touristy things my wife wants to do, and try to post some pics later on.

If you have questions you would like me to ask the factory guys, post them here and I will do my best to be your rep.

Some people will gripe because it seems like HS gets preferencial treatment, but if a dealer wants to report from their conference, feel free, its industry news as far as I'm concerned, and that is all that counts  :P

Chas:

I will be overjoyed if you are able to report the following:

1.  Hot Spring has redesigned their privacy screen so that it can withstand an "breezy" day on my patio.
2.  Hot Spring has entered into an agreement with Balboa Controls whereby the Dolphin Remote can now be used on all Hot Spring tubs and stereo systems!!!!
3.  A new sanitizing system has been developed that is so good, you only have to change your water once a year.  Chemicals for this new system can be bought at your local grocery store.

(Just my little wish-list!)
If you don't have anything nice to say about someone, come sit next to me.

Hope you and the wife and fellas have a good time in Old San Fran, Chas!

I'm heading to Kansas City at the end of the week for our kick off extravaganza.  I'll report back on important stuff like steaks, beer, and quality of the local hookers.

Ask them if they know a Hot Springs salesman in Texas code-named "Terminator".  Ask them if he is a straight shooter.  Ask them if he knows his stuff.  Ask them if he can be trusted.  Ask them about his character, reputation and loyalty to America and the American way of life.  Ask them if he pays his taxes.  Ask them if he is God-fearing.  And above all, ask them what the hell he is doing going to Kansas City to drink beer, eat seaks and find hookers when he has a tub to deliver to me any day now!!

There's a reason you guys both came up with that thought so quickly and it has nothing to do with any of my inclinations!!!  ;)
