Thanks for posting pics, guys! Anyone else, please feel free to post more here. I haven't had a chance to get any shots yet.
It was hectic yesterday morning. We couldn't get into the space until 6AM, because there was an event there Thursday. At 11:30PM, Scott, Dennis and I stopped down to the hall, to see what it looked like, and the dinner tables and decorations from the day were still there. And at 6AM, not all of our tables had been set up. So, it was busy. To top it off, Steve Marmando's van broke down in the loading dock tunnel, blocking it. He was able to get it towed. but that made things tight, as you can imagine!
We stuck to the official noon opening this year, no early entry, to give the vendors as much time as possible to load in. At noon, there were about 100 people lined up and waiting eagerly for the open.
Got so say hello to some of the other Treefroggers who are here, Wendy, Tom Dubel, Lawrence, Andreas (andana), and Rodrigo (debrito).. If you head up today, please stop by and say hi. And if you can stick around this evening, come up to the hospitality suite and socialize.
As far as the gate goes, we had 306 patrons and 90 exhibitors come through. There are 55 vendors here this year.
I hope to get some pictures of my own, too.
Prost!
