Another Tri-Marq show

What can I say, Jim and the Tri-Marq boys do a great show.
The location? The Wisconsin Expo center in Milwaukee. The client? Aurora Health Care. A big hospital group 20,000 employees of which 1900 "brass" were at this show.
There is so much going on backstage that the client never sees to pull off a blended image background. The thousands of dollars in just fiber optic DVI cables is mind boggling. Jim has all the lead areas covered with regular guys so all I do is float around and assist who ever needs an extra set of hands at the time and then run a camera for the show. Odd but it's better than standing behind the bar.
On to the social side, Jim treats his crew very well at every show, simply amazing.
The first night, dinner at Crazy Water, a wonderful dinner cooked by two chefs in a bay window smaller than my bathroom, amazing. Our flop house? The Iron Horse Hotel oh my, what a place, check out the pics on the site.

Back home after a whirlwind 2 days...

All this...


to get you this...

Silos or facets?

An event company in TX hired me to be a concierge at a Microsoft event in Oak Brook.
They actually needed two of us so I brought Kim with. Heck let's double dip if we can right?
So on to the title of this post. Remember when I had to put a sticker over my glowing Apple so as not to offend all the people I worked for?
Well dig this, the show was a 7 launch but for the AMD chip set. All laptops that had an Intel processor had to have a piece of tape over the name Intel.

COME ON!

I then had a guy complain that I didn't have his size in a t-shirt. My reply?
"So, how much did you pay for this show?"
He had nuthin...

The Banner

Kind of cool...

I had a Taylor 555 guitar. I sold it to Mikey Heaton. He was playing in Batvia.
A Batavia rep took a picture of the guitar and made it into a lamp post banner.

Halloween...

The kids stopped by before I had to leave for work...really nice of them.
Olive was her favorite thing in the whole world...a bag of jelly beans, cute.

TriJangle

The Greats...

Laura wrangled the kids together for a little trip to the South side to visit the Great Grandparents. I'm not sure who giggled more, Mom or baby Elle...





Olive took a liking to Great Grandpa Don.

uhhhh.....

I really don't have anything...odd.
I could rant how I got the job I applied for but they diverted the funds for said job to an IT director job that I am not up for. Ranting here won't really get me anywhere.
