And I'm not talking about the baby (but all is quiet with him for now too!). I'm talking about Toy Fair 2012. As I mentioned here, I was not able to be at the show this year for obvious reasons. So I've been manning my battle station from the comforts of home. But I have to say, it has not been any less stressful than if I had been there.
It was a hectic week and weekend as Toy Fair exhibitors and sponsors moved into the Javits Center for the greatest toy show on earth which began Sunday. My usual role - assist sponsors with set-up of their promotional investment. My role this year - stare at my Blackberry and wait for Rich or Anita to call to give me continual updates on how move-in is going. I've never paid so much attention to a phone in all my life!!
Luckily, between my Type A organization and the amazing skills of my onsite team, everything went off great. Sure there were some snags...will we be able to get the Tegu food truck into the building? Where exactly should we place the 15' Power Ranger statue? Will the App wall work? But all in all, things went very smoothly thanks to the teamwork of Rick and Anita. I can't express to them how much I appreciate their assistance this year!!
So now that the show has started, all is pretty quiet. A little eerie...but normal at the same time. Everyone is all set up and focused on conducting business. So things will stay quiet until Wednesday afternoon when it is time to dismantle. In the mean time, I now stalk Facebook and the Toy Fair website to see all the great happenings at the show.
Oh...and HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
