I love trade shows but I never knew how much work it was to put one together from start to finish in one day. I showed up at 8 but people got there at 6am. Furiture was there, party rental was there and after being there for an hour so was the frieght for the rest of the show. The facility was on the bottom floor of the building and to get there you have to go down a flieght of stairs. there was one elevator operated by an old small asian man. the frieght was carried up and down from the street level then put to the appropriate booth. figuring out what booth things went to was hard because they weren't clearly labeled with the booth number or name of vendor. so we had to search thorough the various labels on the boxes to find where they go.
After this there were trips back and forth from best buy to get small parts for the tvs and other small things for exhibitors. as the show started I was selling drink tickets which weren't selling as expected mostly because the whole space was filled a lot of nerds. in addition there wasn't any food I would have much rather had food than drinks. The only food was a asian inspired taco truck outside which was really good. then things started to load out I left around 11 which was find because I was back in soho at 8 the next morning.
