Re: What to do at NAB

I agree Tim - love the BMD catalog for sure - but it is heavy. Since I drive out every year I usually do my Monday morning round up in the publications area of the upper South Hall and get all the mags in one tote bag and put them in the car right away. It's a heavy bag but you can grab at least $100 worth of mags for free to read later. A lot of vendors give out free tote bags, some nice than others, try to grab one with a wide, soft strap and not the string kind, then be very selective with the brochures etc. Many booths have CD or DVD with pdf's - easy to carry. Most vendors don't have a lot of printed stuff like the old days.

Please don't be one of the dorks that grab every single piece of info and stick it in your rolling suitcase - just embarrassing and gets in everyones way. Sadly these guys are everywhere and usually stop sideways in the busiest aisles - welcome to NAB!
