The Faithful Gather

April 22, 2010

Well fans, here we are - the last day. It is a little sad. We have been here a week and NOLA has been a great host. The floor is pretty quiet right now. The vacuum cleaners are making most of the noise. The exhibitors look pretty tired. They have one more time to impress the attendees. Then they have to start tearing down the booths. What a lot of work to show us all the new toys.

The attendees are gathering outside the hall. They look tired too. I would say everyone had way too much fun judging by the expressions on their faces.
