Sarasota's Chris Fulton was in ffect selling his Fresh Park wares.
Cretian Animals.
Trailer Park Tyler of SPoT Christmas Party fame was there looking like Trick Daddy and shit...
Weird concept.
This security guard didn't tell me I couldn't have a camera out, but another one did. I was abut to shoot a photo of Chris Fulton and Frank Branca and he told me I couldn't have a camera in the convention center. "So I can't just shoot a photo of my friend who I've known since I was 15 years old?"
"No, and I'll have you kicked out if you shoot any more photos."
I shot more photos.
My old friend Jeff was there. It had been way too long. He's known me and taken care of me with product and life advice since I was a youngin'.

Fun Story: So I'm leaving the trade show and my Mom calls me. We're talking and she asks "What are you doing after this then?" (remember my Mother is a stern anti alcohol Couthern Baptist. I am not.)
"Oh, I'm gonna go drinkin' with the Gator boys. What about it?"
She got so ried up I handed the phone to Tyler and they started talking about Jesus or something. You just hear him saying "I got the Lord ya dig. But I slip sometimes..."
When I get the phone back she goes "I like that Tyler. He's a nice boy."
Tall Tee and Alyssa. She asked if she looked "tough" I replied with
"You look like the toughest kindergarten teacher ever."
Turns out she's a preschool teacher. They went off to get beers. Could you visualize your preschool teacher getting drunk? Traumatizing.
See you dudes next go around.
