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.
Brad,
Thanks to you and your fellow club members for yet another great show, I did incredibly well there, must have been those pictures of my boxed plastic and boxed metal stock on the floor that did it for me.
Also, one of these years, I have no doubt a fist fight is going to break out in that tunnel in the AM as dealers attempt to load in, Steve trying to shoehorn his way around everyone and then having his truck die dead center in the middle of the loading zone was interesting, SO glad I got there ten minutes prior to that mess unfolding.
Thanks to you letting us in at 6:00 and keeping the early buyers out, I was able to get set up in time; actually, a few did sneak in, but they dropped some good coin with me, so no harm, no foul............:wink2:
A lot of my customers like my new displays; less terrain, more figures, better sight angles=more sales, outstanding results with it the past three shows.
Thanks again; for anyone who is close to this show, you should make an effort to attend, the exhibit area alone is worth the price of admission, not to mention the wide variety of dealers who continue to attend, there were a lot of good bargains out there for those who did come, plus Sandor was kind enough to wear his AWI hat all weekend long and Nick wore his highlander get up in rather humid conditions both days, talk about a couple of die hards...................:salute:::salute:::salute::
