Blue Q.

NYIGF Summer 2010. 

Booth #1509. 

2 more days.

Ever been to a tradeshow before?  They’re amazing.  It’s wholesale for retail.  You walk into this cavernous space (a convention center, like the Javits Center in New York City) and every place that makes the stuff you love is there – except you can’t buy a damn thing.  It would probably be like an alcoholic walking into a bar that doesn’t sell any alcohol.  No wait, that doesn’t make sense. 

ANYWAY, it’s a big old marketplace for stores to buy stuff for YOU to buy.  And we adore our stores (you can click right here to find out where to buy our stuff in a nice old fashioned store right near where you live). 

There are tradeshows for everything: Natural Foods, Surf Expo (for…surfing?), Candy and Food and then there’s GOURMET Food and then also Closeout Stuff (like what you buy at The Dollar Store), Clothing, etc….

And they’re all full of cool crap.

And they’re full of really crappy crap (the opinions expressed in the Blue Q blog do not, in anyway, correspond with the opinions of Blue Q – even though I work here, at Blue Q).

I mean, really SILLY crappy crap.

And this woman is talking about how wonderful the show is.  “Gee, it’s really wonderful here, with all this crap I would NEVER pay retail for!”

But Blue Q always decorates the coolest looking booth for sure.  Here are just some setting up photos:

Come and visit!  We have snacks!  And great deals!  (if you’re a store).  And new stuff!  Long Live COMMERCE!
