From where does Alan get all the clinking beer glasses? I couldn't find them.

When you paid for parking at the Cleveland National a few years back, they were giving them out.

There are thousands of places on the web offering free smilies (or emoticons.)

Matt,

I believe the "Parking" ones were only usable in Ohio.



I vote that next year, we chip in and fly Barry to Chicago, to do a daily blog, and maybe even a podcast, from the floor of the show. (Barry, think "Live Remote" for the radio, but only on the internet.)

He could also "fill time" by roaming the floor and pointing out the spelling errors on the thousands of hand made signs adorning the booths.

Pointing out spelling errors doesn't go over as well in person as it does on an internet forum.

Actually, it seems to me that Barry has become far too kind and lets most spelling mistakes go these days.

The mistakes are still there. They still bother him. But he's willing to look the other way and wait for Rob, Peter, or myself, to be the asshat. (You know... my sorted friends.)

I didn't mean to the booth owners but rather to the viewers that would be riveted to the podcast.

I'll take a shot at this. Barry, Podcasts are like Vaudeville, but with audience members so tiny you can't see them while you're performing. But don't worry, they're there.

Going to the National is not my cup of tea, but thanks for the invite.

Yes, spelling on the board is awful, but I gave up being the spelling cop...for the most part.

I wish Barry would go to the National one year. I think he would really enjoy it. Maybe if it comes to Brooklyn, he might have to show up.
