East Coast National - this weekend

[Brian]

Thanks, Tim.
Yeah, I dropped off some cards but did not buy anything. The line stretched out the front door. As others have mentioned, cards were pretty over-priced. And I was prepared to spend, having been blown out on my white whale in the LOTG last night...er, morning. Some nice eye candy, but out of reach.

I did see a bunch of kids wheeling and dealing. They had cash to burn and knew what they were doing--they had the negotiation skills of much older folk.

Commoditization is alive and well. And all I could do was think about the good old days........
