Some notable moments deserve mention.
First, I find some of the procedures of bottle shows strange and bothersome while others pleasant and productive. I still don't understand this rule. Technically the show hasn't started but everyone who was there treated this as an opportunity to shop for insulators in between unboxing some insulators. It is certainly nice to do this when there isn't a crowd from the general public around too and it is a nice benefit of paying for one or more tables. I've said that I would rather have the table prices reduced by that much but this bonus did get me to the hotel on Sunday morning to have breakfast with five other collectors.
