So Typical
So this is a pretty typical startup story. We are going to be at the CTIA show in Las Vegas next week and needed to have some materials printed up. We submitted them Monday and paid for 2nd day air to make we would have them this week, with time to spare. So the show up today, and instead of our materials, we received a box of someone else's business cards. I called the printer, Overnight Prints, and the best they can do on a reprint and ship is next Thursday.
This is the kind of stuff that just eats up your time. Some days I feel like I haven't accomplished anything. This is the reason; right here.
So I called the guy on the business cards and hopefully he is going to be receiving my stuff. He agree to fedex them to the hotel where we are staying in Las Vegas, so it might work out. It'll be close if it does.
What's the moral here? I have no idea.

You should go all high-school science fair: Buy a bunch of posterboard and a couple Sharpie Magnum 44 pens. That would be sweet. :)

That would be sweet. Might go with some of that sparkly glue too just to give it some flavor.
What's sad is that every show you see some booths that look pretty close to "high-school" science fair.
