On Monday morning we went to the NECC 2009 Exhibitor’s Hall. It was huge, vast, expansive . . . so American.
We were on a mission to get a Promethean and SMART t-shirt.
They made it so hard fill in forms, show a magazine bit of a hassle really!!!! Never did get the SMART shirt probably a Freudian moment.
We were caught in the rush of the crowd, jostled along, not sure where we were going.
Suddenly an arm appeared out of nowhere, a blue t-shirt was thrust into our hands . . . a BIG sloppy PEARSON shirt.
People looked at us as if we weird when we got on the bus this morning. “What’s with the t-shirt?”
Well you know what we’re not so stupid.
Standing in the endless snaking Starbuck’s line this afternoon a hysterical woman ran up to us offering congratulations and these two cute little ipod shuffles . . .
for wearing our PEARSON’s t-shirt.
Cameras flashed, celebrities for a minute, congratulated by our fellow coffee addicts . . . what a buzz!

Just found the blog. Caught the excitement. Celebrities for a minute – what a lovely phrase! Great blog and the Bel South Blog material, with the Smithsonian in particular as influence is moving to read. Real world, across the world global education info. Years from now a man or women now child at Bel South will go to the Smithsonian to study the way of the world, and will remember. Great writing.
