Hi Gary -
Thanks for your report -
I suspect that the mainland convetions may have larger attendances, and thus that there
may be more variances in interest. Even if sales at the events are low ( as the attendees
have budgeted for items specific to the events) followup sales may be good.

I hosted a booth at
HawaiiCon (http://www.hawaiicon.com) last year. I
sold a few pallasites, moldavites and lunar pendant vials,
but the retail interest by attendees were for comic books,
science fiction toys like tricorders, ray guns and steampunk
contraptions.
It was fun
to meet Chekov from Star Trek (http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Chekov.jpg),
but getting put in a headlock by Dr Death wasn’t so (http://bigkahuna-meteorites.com/Death-Gary.jpg).
I suppose if I were to do it
again, I would develop a merchandise line that would appeal
more to the ‘con’ crowd, as meteorites were a curiosity
but not so much for them to buy anything. I did make my
conference fee, hotel accommodations, meals and a bit extra
so the experience and time spent with my son Kaipo in a 5
star resort in Kona on the Big Island was well worth it.
