So for 4 days, we talked about The S'more Store. We opened The S'more Store and then snapped it closed. We said how many crackers fit inside of it and how many marshmallows AND how many chocolate bars. We said it was so much easier than the messy bag full of broken crackers that we had sitting on the table. We explained how the 4 piece mold made it easy to clean in case a mallow melted on it. We said we were moms with 6 kids between us over and over and over again. We smiled and we laughed and we told people from India what a s'more actually was. We had numerous people request a s'more, but sadly INPEX wouldn't allow a campfire in the middle of aisle 400. Darn it! We talked to Mike, Rick, Kara, Carol, Matt, Tony, Paul, Djauna, David, Alvin, Cynthia, and Kevin. We laughed like crazy with Walter, Mark and Alan. Gordie got a great first lesson on his new Pokemon fascination. We got big hugs from a sweetheart in a black shirt who's profession is actually being a barber in Naperville, IL. And we bet that no matter what...he'll always be a barber in Naperville, IL. We saw so many cool and exciting products that we WISH we would have come up with, but are so happy for those that did. We met more people in 4 days than we've met in 4 years and we think we can even call them friends at this point. We had someone drive 3 hours to come and lend a hand and we are more than thankful for her. We saw The Tonight Show go through with their camera crew and wished that our mugs could have made it on there. "We" had to present to a couple very large companies and actually made it through the door (thanks to a girl with some very blue eyes) and got through without fainting. HUGE accomplishment. You have no idea!! We asked questions and they got answered. We saw a movie up on a hill and laughed til we cried. We drove around (a little bit) and found our way back to the hotel. Yeah, okay, thanks to the woman speaking from the little computer screen, but it was PITTSBURGH!! Trust me...this was HUGE accomplishment #2. We spoke to people who loved this product and to people that will probably never understand what the heck we were talking about. That's okay. The people that loved it are offering help and maybe that help will convince the other people what this product can do for them. All in all...INPEX was a major success. We felt a shift towards some very positive energy. For this alone, we are grateful. This product was created in the noggins of two moms sitting out by a campfire one night. With, yes, 6 kids between them. You know the drill. Oh and stay tuned for "The Schtick" (thank you, Walter)
