Vegas baby....

I just got back from a week in Vegas for the PPAI show. It's a Promotional Products trade show that I attend every year with my husband. I play the "Sherpa" and carry around the samples while offering up my "opinion" of the latest and greatest his customers may want. He's been in the business for over 20 years and tends to have blinders on when it comes to new products or ideas. I tend to be the "think-outside-the-box" girl and help with that. Well, I guess I was successful because today was his first day back at work, he brought an idea I had to one of his clients and they loved it. Makes for a successful trip! :)

We went to see the Jersey Boys at the Palazzo Hotel/Casino. What a GREAT show!! We went because we'd seen the show in San Francisco and met Erich Bergen (Bob Gaudio - the "genius" behind the Four Seasons success). Erich recently got hired to be in the Las Vegas tour of the show. Erich's Dad works with my husband in the promotional products industry. Anyway, we had 3rd row seats and the show was terrific!!! Even better, Deven May (also in the SF cast as Tommy) is now in the Las Vegas cast as well. Highly recommend the show!
