Next week will be my 15th World of Concrete.  Around the office we refer to World of Concrete, or just "World" all the time and think nothing of it.  Away from Power Curbers its a different story.  When telling friends that I'm heading to "World of Concrete" for a week I get lots of strange looks.  "What is a world of concrete" and "That sounds like something Homer Simpson would go to" are a few of the nicer comments I've gotten over the years.  World of Concrete, though, is one of my favorite weeks of the year.  Catching up with long-time customers, answering questions about the curb business for a new prospect, and of course just watching people stop, trying to figure out what a 5700-C is, make it a great week for me.  Whether you're coming specifically to buy a piece of equipment, see what's new in concrete, or are just looking for an excuse to visit Vegas, there's no other week quite like it for contractors.  We'll be there in the Central Hall booth 5814.  Whether you want to see a 5700-C in person for the first time, run an idea by us, let us know about a machine problem you're having, or just rest for a few minutes, we'd love to see you.
