<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 894758, member: 16948&quot;]Ziggy, since I often attend shows by myself (though I will have Todd doing onsite photography at my table for this show), I am very grateful when those little guys offer to get my luch! Also, I don&#039;t usually bring my glass cleaning supplies to my fly away shows, so I appreciate their cleaning my cases too from all the drooling that goes on over my cases! <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Btw, I have a tiny pet peeve that I usually politely ask the pages to help me with. I know this probably sounds pretty anal, but when the pages pass out flyers, can they please place them IN BETWEEN the cases, rather than on top of the cases? We dealers get so many flyers throughout the day and have to continually remove them so as not to cover up what&#039;s in the cases. I know the pages are trying to move quickly through the show room, but taking that extra second or two to put the flyers in between the cases would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>As for the show, I&#039;ll be there, definitely wouldn&#039;t miss it - be sure to stop by my table and say hi! I&#039;m actually going early and doing some siteseeing and pub crawling...:bigeyes:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Speaking of pub crawling, hope you don&#039;t mind if I go off topic for a sec and tell a little Boston story.... I won a trip from a radio station to see Sting in concert in Boston about 5 years ago. We actually got to meet him backstage and have our photos taken with him. We also stayed in the same hotel that Sting was in, and even saw Bono (U2) coming and going. But the trip was only 3 days so we paid extra and extended our stay since St. Patrick&#039;s Day happened to be that same week and we heard that St. Patrick&#039;s Day was a BIG DEAL in Boston (that was an understatement!). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>During our stay, we took the Freedom Trail (a prominent red line painted on the sidewalks throughout the city that takes you by all the historical sites) and really enjoyed seeing all the wonderful sites that we read about in our history books. Boston has got to be one of the most historical cities in the country! Then a Nor&#039;easter blew through and completely blanketed the city with a couple feet of beautiful fresh snow. It really made Boston look like a postcard, especially the Harvard college campus. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So when we were pub crawling on St. Patrick&#039;s Day (many people start at 9am, though we waited until a respectable noon!), we had to drudge through the snow in between each pub. It also happened to be spring break that week so we saw a lot of college kids taking in the sites. At one point, we saw a group of kids wondering around looking at the ground as if they had lost something. We asked them if we could help them, and they said they just couldn&#039;t seem to find that darn Freedom Trail. My hubby and I looked at them quizzickly, thinking it&#039;s pretty hard NOT to see it since it appears prominently all over town. If it&#039;s not on the sidewalk you&#039;re on, just cross the street, and you&#039;ll usually find it there. As a matter of fact, we knew it was right under our feet and, in our slightly inebriated state, thought, geese, kids these days just don&#039;t pay attention like we did in our day! We both pointed to the ground, and said it&#039;s right there! Well, we all got a big laugh because of course the sidewalks were completely covered with snow!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>See ya&#039;ll in Boston!!![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
