First I want to thank the Mantidforum members who helped me out for this event (www.bugfest.org). I can't tell you how much it is appreciated.

I want to formally thank:

Tammy Wolfe

ismart (Paul). Nice to see you in person again! This guy flies all the way from NY to see my table. Crazy huh?

Hope I didn't forget anybody.

Now for some pics. I was right up against some windows so the pics kinda suck:

Thanks Andrew. We had hundreds of people stop by the table. I really wish I wasn't right in front of windows. It makes for bad pics haha.

My wifes idea. I had them on the table but was so worried about them "growing legs".

I don't. Somebody with the museum staff came in with a camera at one point but I don't know.

Beautiful... I wish I lived closer. I'd love to attend an insect fair! I love your display cases for your live specimens...

Great booth set up! I really wish I lived closer. Maybe next year...

For some reason I imagined you being much older.

I probably am compared to most members here, maybe I don't look it. I'm 34. So yeah, old.
