Memory Trends 'o7

Hi Diva's And Dukes,

I just returned from a "Diva Road Trip" with The Grand Duchess of Kandu, Jan Mollet Evans. We spent 2 and 1/2 quick days at Memory Trends in Las Vegas. Jan and I drove for the sole purpose of stopping off in Baker, Ca. It's claim to fame is the World's Tallest Thermometer and the home of "The Mad Greek" Cafe.

I saw a show on Food Network called "Diners, Drive-ins and Dives" and I called Jan up and said we have to stop there. I'd always seen the signs and wondered what a Greek cafe is doing in the middle of the Mojave Desert. Lets just say we ate there on the way coming and going to MT. It was the best Shwarma I've ever tasted.

Ok,...Enough about the Mad Greek. Let's talk about Memory Trends. I loved the show. It was smaller than it had been in years. It reminded me of when MT first started. Manufacturers were able to spend quality time with store owners. Demonstrating and educating on some really great products. Store owners weren't rushing here and there to get thru the show and drop off orders. It was really nice to be able to have great conversations with different people in the industry.

We were able to do our show live from The Purple Cows Booth. They are the greatest group of people!!! We laughed and took pictures with Rick and Gary. Thanks for being such gracious hosts. Wait til you see what the Cow's are cooking up next for '08 .

Of Course all this wouldn't have happened if Rayme wasn't holding down the fort in The Lounge. You're the best Rayme!!!!

I know I promised to write down the Companies we spoke about. There were sooo many
other terrific products but we ran out of time. I promise Rayme and I will have them on the show ASAP.
