Well, as long as you got your needs fulfilled....  ;-)

Mel enjoyed herself, and hopefully we may manage to drag her along to
other
shows occasionally - considering she'd never actually worked behind the
stall before I think she did a pretty good job, given the frantic nature
of
the day. It was her first experience of a proper wargame show (she's
been
to Dragonmeet a couple of times - one year in full Gilly costume!)  - at
least now she believes us about just what Salute is like...
(Plus she's a regular Anime con-attendee, so wargamers seem positively
normal by comparison....)
:-)

PS: there's a chap we know who goes to the anime cons who makes a FAR
more
convincing Lara Croft than the "professional" one at Salute, and that is
a
REALLY scary thought....   ;-)
