Just got back from the dome, setting up a booth for the show. What a fiasco. Our car sat in line for an hour and a half, so that we get our things in there. Confusion reigned. Didn't see much pre war though. But only about 10% of the dealers were even there. Most were in their cars and trucks sitting in a line to get in. This summer my family and I are having the distinct priviledge, of throwing out the first pitch for a Tigers and twins game, helping with batting practice, and then sitting in the owners box. To make a long story short, while I was there today, I delivered some paperwork to the executive offices up stairs for the game I just mentioned. Wow....we all thought the playing field was crap, you should see the offices? I couldn't believe it. Tiny, tiny cubes everywhere, piled with crap. Ugly ugly ugly. I've never seen such cramped, horrible working conditions in an office space. I got claustraphobic (spelling) after about a minute. But heading down there tomorrow for the opening. Hopefully I will find a few nuggets. I did see a few Honus Wagner things, etc. etc. So we shall see.
