I realised there are a number of stories I never got the chance to tell while I was away and now is as good as time as any to give them a whirl.
I wanted a tour of the place where the convention was. I brought with me the big guns cause I know what these places are like. I rock up the reception in shorts, tshirt, cap and headphones. I gave my name and title and business card and she was not overly impressed. It was one of those oh your from the minor leagues isn't that cute sor tof reactions. I then pulled out our flash new sales kit which includes me in it somewhere and showed her the floorplan of the House Of Chops. She instanly seemed more impressed. At the point the event manager for the conference I was at walked through. She introduced me and said I would like a tour and where I was from. I gave him my business card. Once again a very similar reaction till I pulled out the sales kit. At which point he said so when would you like the walk around?
The tour itself was not all that interesting. A few little things like the 5cm square holes in the floor to run electricity. I can't fathom how they get away with that one. The hole wasn't covered or have tape around it to make you aware of it. So how did you snap that ankle funny story really.
I was in the massive ballroom which sits comfortably 3000. It was immaculate and the lights were nice and bright. I thought it was strange. Carpets get such a work out usually. On closer inspection I realised how they pulled it off. It was carpet tiles all they do if it gets ripped or stained is just pick it up and replace it with a nice new fresh one. Pretty clever hey.
Till Next Time Just Replace it With A New One,
Chops
