Back from the Chicago International

This year almost everything went as planned for the show, nothing got lost, nothing (much) got broken, and had enough sales to make the venture worthwhile. It would have been a practically perfect trip if it weren't for the little issue of getting to the airport at 7:30 AM for what turned out to be an 8:45 PM departure. For a mere $150, that little glitch was fixed (imagine lots of bad language here).
A couple of people asked me to teach a workshop building a mid-century modern roombox. If I can get enough confirmed interest I'll do that. My workshop on "advanced LEDs " was full, and I think everyone got something out of it. I changed my approach in midstream when I saw that I was going to lose some people. Always good for an adrenalin rush - making up a class as you give it.
