Webheads and Friends in Portland (2014): Thursday was a long day!

Finding the Electronic Village was a challenge. I felt like I walked about 10 city blocks in the Convention Center, following signs for "Portland Ballroom 158," but it seemed to vanish. I finally discovered it down a carpetless corridor that looks like it should be off-limits to convention-goers. As always, I found webheads and other old friends there. I attended a couple of Technology Fair presentations, visited the Exhibit Hall to see my friends Karen Taylor and Shirley Thompson at The Color Vowel Chart booth, and returned to the EV for my stint as a greeter, which involved standing at the entrance to the dank corridor leading to the EV and assuring people that yes, that was really where it was located; and then standing outside the EV being friendly to all who came by and answering their questions about the EV: "What is going on in there?" (Two Mini-Workshops) "Why is the door locked?" (It's a ticketed event with limited seating, unlike most of our offerings.) "I'm presenting at a Technology Fair tomorrow. Can I just see the set-up?" (Sure.) "Where is the Technology Showcase?" )Just down the hall in PB157.) etc.
