MKinsey/TBF Editor of Teddy Bear and FriendsNov 16, 2007

Small commerical message:
Anyone who's been thinking about exhibiting at IDEX, you need to get your contract and deposit in. We've got about two dozen booths, half booths, and retail room tables left. It will sell out. We've sold out the first hotel and are adding rooms to our block at the second hotel. And -- this is cool -- they're advertising it in Antique Doll Collector for November & December, Toy Book in December, Playthings in November & December, and Collectors United in November and December. Plus sending tens of thousands of fliers (really). There are about 30 teddy bear exhibitors so far, and 9 bear events.

Speaking of which, if you're going to be in the neighborhood, you should definitely sign up for the photography workshop. It's free and will teach you tricks to photograph your bears. You provide the bear, we provide the camera. AND, we'll be publishing some of your photos in the magazine after the show -- you just have to show up to snap them! We have quite a few cool events, but this one should be particularly interesting and beneficial.

We'll now return to our regularly scheduled programming.

Thanks for the heads up Mindy, I hadn't looked at the workshops lately, last time I looked there wasn't anything that interested me.     
   I think I will sign up for that, I think I can talk a friend into looking after the booth for me- tho fortunately it's well timed and wont be too busy then. There's a few other interesting ones there, sadly not all at times I will be able to swing it
   If any TT'ers are thinking of coming, I have a half booth that I am looking for a partner for, hint hint
