Anywho, I did have a great time while I was out here and was able to network, learn a few things here and there and also experience some very cool things. So, I will explain my trip through a series of pictures from this past week.
I got this awesome new necklace from Bauble Bar. Have I talked about them before? If not, you should all go visit it. Their mission is to provide awesome, fashionable jewelry at reasonable prices. And guess what -- they do! The pretty bib necklace was less than $40 and I also got the gold braided bracelet on my wrist from there. So anyways, stop reading this crap and go check it out!
Yes, that is Pat Monahan of Train and yes, I was sitting a mere 4 rows from him. I've always liked me some Train, so when FM Global was throwing a free Train Concert during this convention, I obviously planned to attend. He was charismatic and really had the crowd going and played for just the right amount of time. So, I rocked out to this on Monday night!
This is made entirely of business cards and there was a guy there building even more buildings out of cards. How crazy is that? There was also a sand castle that was being built at another exhibit, but of course I didn't take a picture of that one...oh well!
How fun is this dress? This is the champagne girl at Canada night. Enough said.
But probably the best part of the week was the Marsh party at Universal Studios. We hopped in the car and headed over with our broker and when we arrived they had a whole area shut down for us. We wandered around the "London" area of the park, ate, drank, mingled. Then they shuffled us down to some shuttles and drove us through the studio lot down to the Jurassic Park/The Mummy/Transformers area and I rode 2 rides, naturally skipping the roller coaster because my pansy behind doesn't do that sorta thang. I did love the Transformers simulator ride and as you can see, I got a pretty awesome picture with Bumble Bee!
This is me and our broker on a children's quarter ride. Obviously Roger didn't get the memo that the boat was "rocking," but I guess that's ok.
And finally, I can't wait to get back to this little pup I left behind, as well as my other little guy Muppet and my favorite guy, Brandon.
Toodles.
