Just a note - I wasn't there Friday. I could have been if I'd had a babysitter for Shaun. So, couldn't make it until Saturday; got there a few minutes before 9. They were good to me; gave me the first table inside the door. I didn't give as many magazines away as I usually do at a show - but figured it was because most people that came by didn't know they were free (forgot my "Please take one - they're free" card. But lots of people came by, and at least stared at me until they figured I didn't bite. :) The best part was getting to meet people I hadn't met before - like Pat and Matt Dempsey and a few others that I knew by name but hadn't met in person. About an hour before the show ended, while things slowed down enough to walk thru the aisles, I went around and took photos. If you haven't checked them out yet, I've got the link to them on my little bit of cyberspace. If you wonder how I know all those people - I didn't, so I started out with an empty camera, knowing it would start with picture #1, then as I took a photo, I wrote down next to the number who and what - with whatever comments I got, otherwise, I would never have remembered all those people. A couple people was curious as to what I was writing down and sneaked up to take a peek - then laughed when they saw stuff like, "#19 blue shirt, white house stuff, who, where" on the list in case I got the numbers messed up< I could still figure out who was who. Later, Mr. Blue Shirt came over to the table (after I got back to mine) and teased me about it, saying, "Remember me, I am the guy with the blue shirt from Strasburg" and laughed. What could I do but admit I was "guilty as accused." Then Pat came over and teased me - telling me he'd gotten my picture earlier, when I didn't know who he was. So, I wasn't the only stinker there with a camera....huh? If you were at the show and didn't come over and yell at me, please do at the next show. I promise I don't bite (and I'll give you lots of magazines). Whether you read much or not, you can still look at the pictures.
