Overheard on the Showfloor

Staff -- Tradeshow Week, 4/2/2007

"We have to be there, since we're new and we're getting the word out. In this industry, the holy trinity is Toy Fair, GAMA and this."

—Boyan Radakovich, a game designer exhibiting at Games Expo 2007, explaining why it's worth the investment to be at the American Intl. Toy Fair, the Game Manufacturers Assn. Trade Show and Games Expo, all within a five-month span (Las Vegas, March 18–22)

"We're good yolks, we're thick-skinned and we have a fowl sense of humor."

—Exhibitor David Will, general manager of Chino Valley Ranchers, a chicken farm, joking with passers-by at the Natural Products Expo West/Supply Expo (Anaheim, March 8–11)

"Obviously, it's a huge expense for us, but what better excuse to come to Vegas?"

—Exhibitor Lynn Wicks of Odyssey Games, who traveled from New Zealand to Games Expo
