You had to know that I would eventually have to get around to talking about my Colorado Rockies being in the World Series. I’m all giddy of the notion of watching my hometown team in the World Series against the likes of a legendary team like the Boston Red Sox. So I thought about how I could tie the event into a blog post here. I have already discussed sporting events and how you move a number of people with the likes of The Convention Store. I could talk about how the sports industry has lot of conventions about memorabilia and collectibles and those types of conventions. I suppose I could talk about all of the t-shirt companies that are scrambling to capitalize on the Rox vs. Sox ideas, and of course T-shirt companies I’m sure are a huge trade show unto themselves. I could talk about the economical impact events such as this World Series and of course conventions and trade shows have on the local businesses. I just can’t seem to nail down a way to tie it in here. If I hadn’t spent 2 1/2 hours online trying to buy tickets yesterday, I am positive that I would have researched a cool convention like topic, but I have to stand here hat in hand and let you know that I can think of no way to talk about conventions and trade shows and try to make it not about the only thing I can see on my windshield today. With that said…LET”S GO ROCKIES!!!

Sorry–as much as it pains me to do this (we’re in NY so endorsing anyone other than the Yankees is a bit of blasphemy), I have to get behind the Sox if for nothing else than for their AL roots. *bleah* that was hard to say. But, I thought I’d jump in and support your blog. We like what you’re doing on Conventions.net. I’m putting together a blog post on how this entire industry is moving online. Sort of a “legacy industry finds new legs on the web” story. Look for it shortly.
All the best,
Jon with Confabb
