    Wave My VEW Experience

    All-in-all, Vision Expo was a pretty good time. It was VERY slow most of the time, but that gave the vendors more time to chat about their products.

    We bought quite a few frames for our new office and saw a few innovative ideas. I definitely think it was worth the free trip. The Palazzo was very nice. If you have a chance, I highly recommend it.

    I got to meet/re-meet several OptiBoard members. Among those honored enough to meet me were Johns, James Herman, OBXLeyeguy, OpticLabRat, Braheem, Optical 24/7 (and Mrs. Optical 24/7), and Jeff Smith from ECP Magazine.

    I am terribly sorry if I have forgotten anyone, but you know how Vegas is...

    Well, the plane boards in about 30 minutes. Time to get back to my REAL life.

    We spent a total of $7 on slots and $5 on the tables. We came back with $10.25 of that. So it was close to nothing.

    I figured that once I met Braheem there was nothing left to do.
