Thank you. The feeling is mutual. If you and our fellow UHH'ers organize a safari to the store sometime in the afternoon please let me know as I would make a point of joining you there.

That would be awesome. I would like to see a few of the regulars here on UHH. Will the bus make a detour to the Catskills?

It's called Bild Expo and it's in the Javits center on Sept 6 and 7. I registered and will be there with 2 friends on the 6th. Hope to see some UHH friends there.
A long train ride for me.

I hope you can stop by. It will be great seeing you again.
I hope to be able to spend about an hour and a half at the expo tomorrow (Wednesday) from 10:00am – 11:30am

Great!
You can tell the rest of us about it.
Frankly, I am curious what Pentax will have there, but it would be unreasonable to ask a report from you just because I can’t go.

In Tokyo, Pentax has a “clubhouse”, where {I hear} they present mainly the results of photography {rather talking about the equipment themselves}.

I actually made a point of looking them up. They did not have a particularly large presence and the reps were occupied with a couple of visitors when I got there and as I was under a time constraint to get back to the office I could not afford the wait time. Sorry I couldn't deliver for you.
Next year you must come!

Thank you for thinking of me!
Pentax tends to do their own thing and in their “home islands”; it is very unusual for them to appear at a show like this - they even have skipped CP+. B&H must have thrown some weight around for them to show up at all.

I am moved to tell you that it was a fantastic undertaking for a single retailer like B&H and the result was nothing short of magnificent in my estimation. There were many thousands of visitors to both the Javits venue as well to our store (we provided transportation between store and Javits), special expert presentations, hundreds of special deals, prizes, giveaways, etc.
I spoke to one vendor in the Astronomy niche and he told me he has been going to shows large and small for the past 20 years and never has he had more people come to his booth as he had during our show.
If we do this again next year and I hope we will, you've got to come!

I’m glad I went. It was well worth the time.
Thanks for the invitation!

Sorry I missed you.
Maybe UHH members need some way of recognizing each other. If I
had been there, I’m not sure I would have noticed you - I’m not sure I would have noticed a ‘discrete’ name tag.
It would be great if all is Ugly Hedge Hoggers had lapel pins that we could recognize each other. Perhaps the Admins could create these pins and sell them at about $6 each plus tax and shipping. The profit money can go to the website.
