The Meeting 2 - Exhibit Hall

Aside from the meeting auditoriums where you get to listen to the Warren and Charlie show, there is also a big convention-type floor area with lots of exhibits from assorted Berkshire-associated companies. Here's some pics from when we walked around the floor after asking our questions. First, a couple pics of Nancy and myself with giant Berkshire company promotional figures. The Geico Gecko:
This also gives a good view of my full blinged-out meeting outfit. If you look closely at my chest, you can even see the small LED scrolling-message pendant, which I programmed stock ticker-style to keep repeating BRKA ... 40,000,000 ...
The Fruit of the Loom guys:
Unbelievably, as far as I saw they didn't have the best company mascot of all, the Geico Caveman! Here's some more pics from around the exhibit floor. A Geico custom bike:
A Geico racing boat:
A horrible painting of Buffett that some artist did before the meeting (with Benjamin Moore paints - a Berkshire subsidiary):
Nancy behind the wheel of a camper:
and myself relaxing on the bed of said camper:
And a great freebie they were handing out at the Mars/Wrigley booth - a bag of special edition M&M's with little pictures of Warren printed on (I really hope I can resist eating these ... )
