Last year we were delighted to win the IAAPA Brass Ring, first place award for best booth 100-199 square feet. We were so pleased we made up a large decal celebrating the award to stick on the carpet at the front of our display this year. The beautiful glass trophy was also on display in our booth. While we were at it we made up a second decal - on the chance we might be honoured a second time. That decal was well hidden in our supplies behind our booth - just in case. True to our lofty hopes we received word that we had indeed been honoured a second year in a row.... another first place IAAPA Brass Ring award in the 200-299 Square foot category.
Fun day at IAAPA!
We had a very busy first day at the IAAPA EXPO. Many clients, new friends and acquaintances in the business dropped by for a visit. I was doing some concept design at my little table while the others greeted those dropping by. At one point a fellow was excitedly looking at our display and I got a glimpse of his name tag. I couldn't believe my eyes for it was none other than Sir Richard Taylor, of Weta Workshops, one of my long time heroes. He spent about twenty minutes visiting with us talking shop and is a super nice guy!
Pandora!
It is only fitting that just before we participate in a theme park expo we first take an in-depth look at one of the newest attractions around. Today we did just that with a visit to Pandora at Disney's Animal Kingdom. Everything about the new land, especially the massive floating rocks, are absolutely breathtaking and lived up to my lofty expectations. The two rides are wonderful, especially the banshee ride. And the unusual themed food helps immerse guests into the experience rom start to finish. The deserts were especially great!
Tomorrow we start IAAPA!
