Hey everyone, I'm thinking about going to next years Detail Fest, just wondering if anyone in the North East was planning to attend. Could get a few people together and make it a road trip. Just throwing out an idea.

I've considered it. Not sure how the work schedule is gonna be.

I'm not sure if I will be attending this year or not. Depends on money. I went in 2011 and had a blast. Meeting everyone from AG and the other detailers from all over is great.

Start collecting cans from the roadside and save up. We gotta have SeaJay's back at DF!

I will tell you what my friend, if you can get down here, fly or drive, I will pick up the hotel. I am not asking I am doing it. Done.

Wow that seems like an amazing offer bro, you can't turn that down. Kind of hard to say no to something like that especially 7 months in advance. You can still keep the shop open if you'd like just schedule minor washes or just interior work. Thats what I plan on doing. Also the trip expenses (if I'm not mistaken) can be used towards your business taxes as an expense. I've heard about it two years ago and I wanted to go last year but couldn't pull myself away. I'm definitely going this year

Maybe. I asked my accountant about attending trade shows and he said be careful with that as a business deduction.

BobbyG · 08-14-2012, 07:32 PM

I'm planning on it........

Your in MA too Rusty, you down for trip?
I'll talk to my accountant as well. I believe you can especially if it relates to the business which should be obvious.
I just sent my accountant an email asking just that. I would like to go to SEMA as well in the next few years. <- Bucket List right there
