We just got out from the podcast event.  There were between 40 and 45 spectators as Billy Goldfeder led Dave Statter and I through a good discussion of fire blogs and what’s going on in the internet world.

The exhibition hall is packed this afternoon.  As soon as I finish giving FossilMedic a break (he was holding down the fort while I was gone) I’ll get back on the keyboard and do some live blogging from the booth.

2:30 pm,
We just had a visit from John Timson, a vice pres. with Hook & Ladder Brewing Co.  You might remember that we followed their adventures in the Washington Post’s annual beer-tasting contest which they won…..best-tasting beer in the U. S.  They have bought a former firehouse in Silver Spring, Maryland and are in the process of turning it into a brew-pub/restaurant.

3:30 pm,
Ok, we have a new leader for the “Company coming the farthest distance” trophy.  Ernie Mitchell, retired fire chief from Pasadena, California just stopped by.  He is also a past president of the IAFC.

4:30 pm,
Getting close to closing time, so I’ll shut this thread down for now.  We spent most of our time talking to the folks dropping by the booth.  It has been a busy day here and I expect Saturday to be more so.  It’s been a good day.
