Went to the salon with Nat today. I called her up round 11am to see what she was doing. She sounded like she was in need of a bit of a distraction, so I convinced her to meet me for breakfast and then a little trip to the exhibit hall. <\/p>\n

Turned out to be a fun way to spend the afternoon. I have some really cool pictures of the show. I brought my camera so I could take pictures for Katy, cause I wanted to get something for her mom there and wanted some feedback to see if she'd like it or not. I'm glad I brought it, cause there were some really cool booth. My favourite was one straight out of Nightmare Before Xmas. Imagine furniture all warped and bendy a la Tim Burton, handmade with brushed aluminum accents. Kick ass. I also got some really nice pictures of Nat with huuuuuuuuuuuuuuge puppets. It's amazing the things that will happen when you have a bit of cloth wrapped around your hand. People suddenly go nuts :) <\/p>\n

Most people didn't mind me taking pictures, some were quite happy about it. One or two people however lost their friggin mind. One was in a stand where I was seriously considering buying something. The guy was impolite and rude, so I didn't buy the thing I wanted to buy. Screw you buddy. The other one was this neurotic lady. I was taking a picture of something in the kiosk next to hers, with the vendor's blessing, when she told me I couldn't take a picture of her stuff as I was walking by her kiosk. I mean, wtf? My camera is around my neck, and I'm not even looking at the crap you're peddling. Mind your own business woman. <\/p>\n

Anyway, rant over. I'm going to post some of the pictures later on tomorrow cause I find them really cool. Oh, and i think I found Katy's mom's gift. Happy dance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
