    I was wiping up a spill at home and I started thinking about my days behind the bar. I've wiped down a lot of bar tops over the years. That got me to thinking about when I worked in a commercial kitchen and then there were those many months employed at a bakery. What struck me is that I couldn't recall ever using paper towels in any of those businesses.

    It's been 20 years since I attended my first Nightclub & Bar Show. From that point, for the next 10 years "The Show" became a considerable part of our planning, customer growth and income. But over the years the show grew so large we started feeling insignificant, our sales leads lessened and it stopped making much of a difference in our bottom line.
