How was the convention?

[Farrell]

I heard about 450 attended - I guess small compared to other years. I learned absolutely TONS of stuff. I think there is a very good likelihood that my 40-minute pitch raises will be a thing of the past, and I will get my average tuning time of about 75 minutes down quite a bit - all that will really help make my service calls more manageable and profitable. Del's technical class was, of course, excellent. I went to a similar presentation of his in Arlington and absolutely everything breezed right over my head - this time, a few very key concepts actually clicked for me. Hotel? I guess I don't get into the politics of these things, but it was a Hyatt - what can I say....... although the Miss Teen America pageant at the hotel made for a more interesting lobby experience! My room was there :-), bed had sheets :-), hotel was cold :-) and food was expensive :-(. How hot was it? Let's just say that when I got home to Tampa at 8 pm, it was 91 degrees. Del may have another take on that, he mentioned that when he left home in Washington, it was 45 degrees!

Excellent technical and social experience.

I'd love to hear some convention feedback.  How was the turnout, both of members and exhibitors?  Did the hotel treat us right this time?  How hot was it?  (for you Johnny Carson fans... ;-)
