The convention is a blur, but as Marty would say. . . 'It's been educational.'The vendors were very friendly, many of them coming by to chat before the hall opened to guests each morning. The event owner even stopped by to make sure everything was going well for us, which was very kind, considering how busy she must have been. Terry and I started a list of things we should bring next time we do such an event. Everything from basics, like clear tape, to more design-based items, like a larger banner. By the end of the day, our list was over a page long! :) -We'll have to see if it will all fit in the car -and still leave room for us to get inside!
Nate Pratt, a talented artist, (and Back to the Future fan) stopped by throughout the weekend to check in on us and offer assistance, and presented us with a skillfully rendered Doc Brown illustration.
Near the end of the convention, Terry spoke with the staff and got clearance for us to exit first thing, right at 5:00, before anything else happened. This was GREAT, but required us to be packed up and ready to time travel on their word. Nate sprung into action and helped, so when it was time, Terry gave her seat to him, while she preceded the vehicle down the aisle, making sure the way was clear. It was a nice little parade to finish the event, with the vendors left and right, shouting lines from the movie as we departed.
