What’s a “trade show” without some or ALL of the following happening:

1. Your face is tired and your cheeks cramp up from smiling politely while you try to listen as vendors drone on and on about their latest gadget or gimmick "sure to increase YOUR sales by X%"

2. Your feet hurt; no BURN after you've walked 10,000 miles in not-so-appropriate but fabulous footwear (translation: fashion before comfort), being called by people who remember you; carry on a 3 minute conversation and then realize they don’t really know you but have mistaken you for someone else.

3. Falling down when your fashionable and FABULOUS footwear (translation: heals) gets stuck in the elevator door leaving you face down on a cold, hard, marble floor in a hotel lobby !!!!!!!! (For those of you that know me ... I fall ... therefore I am!)
