The Good Show Thread

All in all it WAS a good show.... considering...

*** life is what you make of it ***

We were saying YEARS ago that the high points of most industry gatherings weren't in the organized events but in the chance opportunities you find meeting folks in elevators, quiet person-to-person meetings over dinner and maybe even just sitting down to gamble a little in Vegas, looking over and seeing someone you've wanted to talk to face-to-face but had always missed before. THOSE are the choice moments - the reasons why we continue to go.

Sure the show floor is smaller than I've seen it in years... sure a lot of the "names" that I wanted to meet/see/talk with weren't in attendance... sure Florida in the August heat/humidity is INSANE... but those "moments" between scheduled events and time on the show floor are what make these shows WORTH going.

Besides... I finally got to meet Peaches, Danny C - and got to see 12Clicks, Mojo and a few other folks that I've missed over the years... that in itself makes the whole week GOLDEN.
