Can you give us any feedback now or in the future regarding how the Indy Show translates into actual orders versus previous shows? Comments from other builders regarding business? Or is attendance and general interest the only objective?

Dwight - he mentions a bit in his blog - see NAHBS entries:
http://www.kirkframeworks.com/blog/

The latest entries are a great read on Dave's history.

I also toast to Don for a great show.
And thanks to all who came - ain't Indy fun?

Care to elaborate? Seems kind of sensationlistic to only provide this limited info.

All the best to Don.

Heard it via the interwebz. Please don't call the update "sensationalistic" when only that information was available.
He is an outspoken dude and we will all likely hear more from him about what the heck is going on.

This is his post.

"yes

I am in the hospital. At 2 PM EST I will be cardio converted for an irregular heartbeat. I'm in pretty good spirits. Lesley flew here from Texas this morning, so I'm not alone.

The doctors were mainly concerned that the irregular beat was going to cause a clot and I could stroke. On blood thinners now. At least my blood will be thin, if only they could give me a body thinner. Ill post again after the procedure".

Yes, thanks DW.

And his latest report is that he has been released and will relax at home for a bit.
