Darn, I should have went to the distributors booth. My copy doesn't have "Yankees Suck" on it...argh.

Sounds like you had a great experience. I should be posting my review of this book this week on Savvy Verse & Wit.

I'm glad I could bring back the memories! I should suggest The Big E to Kim. I don't think we've thought of that yet.

Oh, and it goes Old Saybrook, Old Lyme, Niantic, New London.....

This post actually brought a flood of memories. We met a really great person at the Boston Flower Show who loves in Niantic. I believe that's right between Old Lyme and Old Saybrook, no? At least right there at those 2 spots, I'm sure. We became very good friends with her and her husband and would often stay with them in Niantic when we did shows nearby. We made trips to Old Saybrook a couple of times to check out art and craft stores. Their place also became my stopover on the way home home from Boston. I know, it's nowhere near halfway, but A - I was always leaving Boston late and wouldn't get to Niantic till around midnight and B - I wanted to see them. They had a really cool little cottage right on the coastline with a "crow's nest" bedroom over the garage that overlooked the sound. Cat and I got that room when we were there.
She was also responsible for getting us into the Big E, which we did the last 3 years we were in business.
mmmmm, excuse my meandering.

Cathy and I have very fond memories of selling soap in Washington Square.
We did the spring and fall shows there a couple of years then dropped back to just the fall show due to too many complications with the LL schedule in the spring. The fall show was always around Labor Day weekend and we had a blast and made decent money too. Our spot was on Greene St. I believe, right around the corner from one of the entrances to the park. There was a small mall with a great Thai restaurant and a statue of former Mayor LaGuardia in front of our`space.
Very good memories.

I remember you commented when I brought up the Heritage Motor Inn that time. I actually thought about pulling in to their parking lot to eat, but it was empty and they woulda thought I was doing whatever, so I went down to the point where mini-golf is still played, I'm happy to report. Old Lyme was the other shore town we'd go to, but only when I was very young.

I love Old Saybrook! I once had to spend a week working in CT. I stayed in OS and spent much of my down time wandering around. Alone.

The Florence Griswold museum over in Lyme is cool, too.
