I was walking around CES floor and found a booth around which a long line of people was circling. At the head of the line a scruffy guy with curly hair and a short beard was signing photos. I asked someone who already got a picture, “is that supposed to be someone famous?”. The guy sputtered and said, “Of course. It’s Weird Al Yankovich

Then I went to the next booth and spotted a much shorter line with a cute chick that was signing posters, on which she modeled in some audio hardware ad. A few chinese guys were even photographing each other with her (in a “posessive” way). I decided to get a signed poster for coworker. When it was my turn, she asked who to sign it for. I asked if this was necessary. She was kind of taken aback and said that everyone wanted it signed. I agreed and gave the guy’s name. Then I asked her if that was her in the poster. She pouted and said, of course, why else would she sign them. I brought it back and it was an instant success. I became suspicious and asked “Is that supposed to be someone famous?”. The guy sputtered and said, of course, she was in those series - and then he couldn’t remember which ones. And then in a couple of hours it struck me - she was Lori Loughlin - “Becky”, “Jesse’s” wife in Full House - series that my daughter loves. Now my daughter can’t forgive me that it’s not she who got the poster.

Alex, what is CES? :) Current Employment Statistics (CES), Consumer Electronics Show (CES)?

The latter. I doubt the former has a "floor" :)

If you have to do it, you might as well do it right.
