The Receiving Line? Matt hopes they enjoy the Chafing Dish. Chuck Pace © 2007
The all vendor spring demo is over, the Canon specific demo is in the offing. This weekend was the absolutely worst weather for a demo, the skies were azure and cloudless, the temperatures were in the 70's and the camera geeks and buyers were smitten with springs blush. Sure there were a few takers, but many more avoided the downtown proper because of the umptenth annual firefighters convention downtown and throughout our fair micro-metropolis. I worked saturday and was busy with as much infrastructure and camera sensor cleanings as I was with sales. There is not as much room up front for an all out rep assault as there was in the old configuration, but those who could horn in got theirs.
Sunday was a stunner. What a dish Mother Nature gave us. Jenni and I worked in the yard for over an hour then I grabbed a book (Next, by Michael Crichton) and spent a little more time with the lovely weather before it was time to shower and then hit the bowling alley for the "Nothing Better To Do" Finale. Team "Mel 'N' Them went in two behind the 6th place team and two in front of the 8th team firmly in 7th we won 4 points and lost four points and most likely stayed 7th. Jenni subbed for Wil/Mel and David , Rich and I rounded out the evenings adventure.

This morning I grabbed a few shots of the Apple Blossoms in bloom in the back yard, and of course had the song "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White"by The Harmonicats playing in my head the entire time, it was and is lovely like the day before and behind us. Enjoy.
