eventful day at the home show

I snuck in (yes, but I didn’t realize they were’nt charging at the front door till afterwards) and introduced myself to the Home Depot (state rep) and gave a quick pitch. She seemed interested in the product, exchanged business cards, and continued to pitch to a few other retailers and distributors. I got the boot when I started to hand out business cards to attendees and not having rented booth space. But hey, That is the highest I’ve gotten personnally with HD. My product did make it to their home office last spring, but no action yet. What a break even if I had to duck the security to get there.

Also might have found an investor (or he found me), now I got to figure out how that all works, since the intent would probably be to manufacture. This LPS G7 might also be an issue. I’d rather have these problems than the ones I woke up to at 2:30 in the morning and worrying about…

Scott, sounds like a Jerry Seinfeld episode!

Your Holey Rail would make an interesting home show display. Have you had a chance to do that yet? I have no idea how much a booth would cost. Yet, without all the trouble you still found an investor. Yes, nice problems to have! Got me wondering about that 2:30 nightmare though…
