On The Crush List because…

Here’s what I did today.

To complete my run of posts on the topic of ‘Which Field/Venue/Show is Best?’ I thought I’d try something new.  We’re in the middle of the Fall 2015 Show (the Thursday before Marburger) and since I took the day just poking around wherever the minivan seemed to want to go, I thought a recap of my day would be a good way for me to share a bunch of fields with you.  Some of these vendors and spaces will become official crushes later on, but for now I’m going to fly through a timeline with nothing more than tiny photo captions. Grab a bottle of water and hop in the passenger seat.  We’re going to the Show, The Crush List style.
