Trade Show Day 2. Welcome to America!

[canyonwalker]

Thursday was Day 2 for me at the trade show in Detroit. It wasn't as long as a day as marathon Day 1 on Wednesday when I was on my feet for 10½ hours. Today the booths were open only 7 hours. Despite the shorter day I still got home late after staying out a bit with colleagues I haven't seen f2f in years and didn't have time for my blog. So I'm catching up a day later as I sit at the airport waiting to go home.

A few things I saw at the show Thursday really amused me. First were a bunch of "No Guns" signs at all the entrances. When I see them I think of them like this:



One of the many things at the show is a merch market. The label on this t-shirt amused me a lot:



In case you're wondering what the joke is, it's a GLBTQ rainbow with a "STRAIGHT" sticker on it— which is supposed to refer to the shape of the t-shirt, straight vs. fitted. Alternatively it's a perfect shirt for "Straight but not narrow". 🤣
