Agree with your thoughts Scott. There was plenty of good stuff there.
Real good stuff. I understand why a show environment demands a glam
factor well above the bar, and I was pleased to see some builders
including some of the more grounded examples of their work in the mix.
It was a little bunched up in many booths, and that made it more
difficult to appreciate the good stuff when it was found -- but that's
show biz. I'll be checking web sites for a more intimate look at what
I may have missed.
