Ok, I figure since I said I’d review Run Fatboy Run (2007) a few weeks ago as my first movie review, I’d better get it done before I write another post about trade show marketing or see any more movies. I saw Iron Man a few days ago, and during the first half of the […]

This is a public service announcement from the Trade Show Guru. Tomorrow, November 4, is election day in the United States, and Americans will have the opportunity to vote for the next leader of the free world, plus other federal politicians, state politicians, and (at least in California) a slew of state proposititions, plus local […]
