Obnoxiousness and greed pay off in spades. As part of my duties as a sales rep for an outdoor sport related company I attended Outdoor Retailer this past week.
Outdoor Retailer, or OR for short, is a trade show where all the great things you would buy at REI, Kittery Trading Post, or LL Bean are displayed for various stores throughout the nation to select next years stock. That includes climbing, kayaking canoeing, clothing,
running, tents and more and more and more. In short it is close to
paradise.
The reason I say greed pays off is because I am absolutely shameless in the pursuit of shwag (freebies that are given away to create excitement about a company or product) This year was so fruitful that I may give up shwag collecting. Why keep it up when I have reached the pinnacle. Top prize this year: go pro hero. a 3 meg waterproof, helmet cam. I get giddy just thinking of what I will do with this thing. I know it will lead me to doing riskier and riskier things to get them on record. Oh well at least my final words will be recorded for posterity.

NGeo goes to OR. I should have had them look you up and waste your time. Seems unlikely we'll sell car top carriers any time soon...
N geo is weak, they had a "toga" party, I showed up in a toga, even their marketing direct was in blue jeans.
