A
lot happens after the show closes each day. Many connections
are made and deals struck in the casual setting of the
bars and restaurants near the convention center. We stayed
closest to a TGIFriday's so that's where we went at the
end of each day, and by the looks of it so did many others
who were attending the show. It is a great time just hanging
out and having food and drinks with industry friends.

The
staff at TGIFriday's has told me on many occasions that
the people who come in with the trade show are among the
nicest they get all year. "They know what they want,
they order a burger and a beer, they're friendly and they
tip great."

So
these kids were working the concession line at the food
court, and they were having so much fun with everyone I
just had to snap a shot of them. What a nice group they
were. |
