Yeah, I borrowed the title from my friend Barrett who titled our podcast from Vegas. He told me he borrowed it from someone else. Kinda like the entire trip to Vegas to me. MAGIC was the reason for our visit, and we had only one day.
I saw a tremendous amount of marketing at various levels there, after all, it was a tradeshow designed to allow marketers to market directly to willing buyers. So at this affair, I was a buyer and was the target of billions of dollars of marketing. Barrett and I were two of the estimated 140,000 buyers there for the week.
We were on a mission to find special lines of men's shirts and jackets that would fit with our "Arrogant Mens Wear" lines. We met our goals, but one of the interesting take-aways is watching how clothes are sold to wholesalers. From typical tradeshow booths to structures that looked like mini castles built into the venue, the business of selling clothes is, well, big business.
I will have 3 more entries as I get them put together: the best, the worst and the most memorable. This post will just have a few fun pix from Vegas.
Aaahhh... a green couch, a little shade and a dragster. Pure Vegas, baby.
Barrett and buses. This was near the end of the day when our quest had turned from the coolest shirts to the coolest drinks... we were on our way to the MGM Grand.
