Hamfests: Checking in from Friedrichshafen
Three days have gone by quickly here at the HAM RADIO/Maker World show at the Messe Friedrichshafen in Germany. I had every intention of doing blog posts at least a couple of times from here but this has been three days of pure exhaustion. Good exhaustion though. Dayton-esque exhaustion. I took over 400 pictures and it was murder getting them to Picasa over this hotel internet connection. But I will tell you all about it, I promise! I might even do a KØNEB-type slideshow if I can think of a suitable song to go behind it. Joe already used “Der Kommissar” last year so I need to think of something else–maybe “99 Luftballons” or something like that. Probably not the theme song to Hogan’s Heroes–that might be too over the top.
In a nutshell, it was a fantastic show. Really, be prepared, I’m going to try to talk you into coming here sometime. I may not come every year, but I’d be willing to bet I’ll return to this show sometime in the next five years or so. It’s that good.
Tomorrow I go to London for a few more days of vacation (er-holiday) before I return to the ‘States on Friday in time for Independence Day (which they may still not be too fond of in England so it all works out).
Auf Wiedersehen!
