> [@1QIKZ](#): > > Well…Thursday and Friday are done and there’s two days of my life I’ll never get back. I expected Thursday to be slow simply by nature but Friday wasn’t much better. I figure the “snowpocalypse” has some effect although I don’t think it was quite that bad. Should’ve named it the Buffalo Home and Zombie show. The few people that were there just walked around with blanked out faces trying to ignore the typical annoying booth next to me offering chances to win gift cards if you give them enough information to hassle you at dinner time a couple weeks later. I’m near the Kaz Brothers booths and the only difference between them and me was they had 2 or 3 guys picking their noses instead of just one. Hope some of you guys (and girls) have some time to stop out. Thanks to Xander for stopping yesterday and chatting. He’s in the same boat I am. I will be there later today to keep you company 🙂 ---

The ARB Heating and Cooling family are very good friends of mine and they do great work, stop by and see them too. ---

I was at the cleveland home & garden show yesterday and it was insane. There were easily 500+ vendors and the expo center has a friggin full size Ferris wheel. Makes the Buffalo show look like a flea market. ---

Thanks to Choko for stopping by yesterday. Also to Jeller for dropping in to shoot the breeze. I was pleased with the volume of people that showed up and I felt like I made some decent contacts and spoke with some serious people. Was a long day but seemed to go by pretty quick. Hoping Sunday will be as busy, even with the shorter show hours. ---

**_Post Show Summary:_** All in all I think the show was a worthwhile endeavor. The turn in the weather surely kicked the crowd in the ass and made up for the wasted first two days. Had good meetings and conversations with a number of people. Also got a chance to see what worked for me and what didn’t, as well as what worked for others. It was interesting to be on the exhibitor side of the table as a former trade / exhibit show engineer and fabricator. Always got to produce and set up but never stay for the actual shows. I have some really slick ideas if I decide to come back next season. Also got to meet some other vendors with interesting and exciting products. Gave me some new ideas for new products and ways to solve some old problems. It should be interesting. Thanks to Choko for stopping by. As soon as I get myself back in order I’ll set something up with you as promised. Also, special thanks to Progrocker for coming through on some A/V issues just before the show. All in all I think that part worked out pretty well and I didn’t look like a schmuck with my video production. ---

Updating for 2014: (Buffalo Home Show) What a difference a year makes. Went from a vendor at the Hamburg show last year to standing in a booth for my new employer directly across from my old spot. I’ll be at the Buffalo Home Show Sat and Sun this weekend and Friday and Sat. next weekend. Stop by and I’ll let you buy me a beer. 🙂 ---

That little light on my computer is friggin perfect. Hang in there, you’re halfway through. Hope Xander had a good weekend. Keller, stop screwing around and sell something. I think it was good for us so far. I think we’re gonna get crushed this year. See y’all Friday and Saturday. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/2013-wny-homes-garden-expo/228358.md?page=1)
