Unfortunately, I can't go due to work... I'd love to visit you guys again next year.

So, at the meantime, please have fun at the conVENTion and keep us (who are not going) updated of the latest happening at the conVENTion!

Greetings and best wishes from the non-goers.

Hi Joseph,

With Dan not here this year, we will be trying to fill in some of the blanks from the dealer rooms this year. It was a very fun day on Wednesday. John Pizzi knocked em dead at the Big Wed. Night show as he put his old man puppet through a giant wood chipper and blew sawdust on the first six or seven rows of seats.

We have posted several still pictures of Dealers Room B for our weekly blog that will come up tomorrow morning and will try to get shots of Dealers Room A as soon as we can get free to get in there.

Dirk Golden was around to both Dealers Rooms with his video camera and has posted several new videos on YouTube already. I want to take the time to get over and meet James Manneli sometime today as well.

Well that will teach me to pay attention to what I'm reading.
I went and looked at your blog, of course not seeing the pictures, and looked at your post again and noticed where it was very clearly written, "for our weekly blog that will come up tomorrow morning".
Where's the slap your head smiley?

Hi Steve,

I was very much looking forward to meeting you as well as so many others however unfortunately do to family illness I won't be at this years ConVention.
I am planning on attending 2014 and will be working all year to achieve that goal.

Just getting started for today (Friday). Looks like a very busy day and everyone is eagerly awaiting the time when we can go board the buses to drive into Cinci to the Taft theatre for Terry Fators big show.

Mark Wade should announce the attendence numbers either today or tomorrow, but they will be good as it has been SRO at everything.
