No it wasn't me, although it was by me. There were a couple of things
that happened back there. Cliffy was right about the onions but that
wasn't what the worst part was. One of the show staffers, Mike, found
a concessions cart that belonged to the convention center, tucked away
in the hallway by my booth.
Who ever used it last left items in the refrigerated compartment and
then forgot them. There was milk and cheese in there among other
things. Everything would have been fine, except human nature took over
and one of our fine attendees in his search for that illusive mint,
nos, Gold, Centaur playfield just had to look in there. Well once that
door was opened a rush of flies exited into the room along with the
foulest odor. It lingered in that corner all weekend, to some degree,
because I had thought the cart had been completely removed. After
checking into it further I discovered it had just been re-positioned to
another corner. Another was this absolute moron took a leak back there
just behind the wall because he did not want to walk all the way to the
lobby. I noticed him come out of the area pulling up his zipper. I
went back around there and found where he "let er go".
Now the BO. There were a couple of guys there that visited my booth
that just plain stunk. I'm sorry, but they smelled worse than that
cart. I hate to even bring this one up but there were also a couple of
guys that I don't think use toilet paper. Dump and run I guess. The
guy with the green shirt that had an HP logo on it smelled like a
septic truck. Then there was the guy with the skateboard that smelled
like a million cigarette butts. That's enough...I've already said too
much.
We always get a few torchured souls, I'm sorry, "individualists", that
are one of a kind but my daughter summed it up best during the first
half hour of her first show. "What a freak show, but it's fun".
So, that mystery is somewhat solved.
