Here’s the original post: I remember a time when “writers block” was nothing more than a big block of wood in the back of a pick-up truck to carry passengers across the ranch. Now the verbal term is a shortage of creativity, where you must write, but you cannot.

I suffer from this as I try to write this article about trade show displays. Since it’s been a few years since I’ve been to a show, I’m a bit out of touch when it comes to custom exhibits. If I don’t come up with something soon, I’m going to have to find a trade show…somewhere… and get some inspiration!

Here’s my update: I FINISHED IT! aren’t you all proud of me? writers block never lasts tooo long… usually just before something needs to be finished, everything i need pours out of me

Well, I was driving through downtown Long Beach last night… went right past the convention center… and it conjured fond memories in my mind of all the trade shows I’ve seen there over the years and how much I LOVE TRADE SHOWS. There’s something about a large showroom floor that’s covered with custom exhibits housing anything and everything based on one trade… golf shirts, fishing supplies, tents, motorcycles… you name it! I don’t even have to LIKE the trade to enjoy the show! I just like all the flash and frill, the demonstrations and the hard sells, and the free stuff!! yay trade shows!
