Today we cruised five of the expo floor's eleven aisled. It went really well; a couple of people were borderline dismissive, but about twice as many were really excited to hear about us, and everyone else was interested enough to invite followup conversation after the show. If I weren't completely exhausted I'd be pretty psyched.
My favorite vendor, I think, was a guy from Sandwich, Illinois (which he described as a small farming community) who had his own invention, a multiplayer crossword game. He had made a tactical error in coming all by himself, as he had nobody to relieve him from booth duties, and after two days was a little punch drunk, enough to get confused at his own game components. But he lit up when he heard about Volity and immediately grasped how it would really benefit his mechanic, which actually does look rather clever. So he is one of many folks we are going to follow up with.
Off to get dinner and then probably just hang out in the Looney room until EOD.
