Firt of all, I had and great time at BTS and it was cool meeting all the SD people there.
So did anyone else notice the gentleman in the cowboy get up?
I mean, all leather pants and shirt, and jewelry galore.
Was he at a booth? Does anyone know who he was?
Trying to piece a puzzle together here.

So I was thinking a "Booth Dude". Ya know, get up to attract people to booth.I thought he was a Urban Cowboy wannabe myself!I saw him, VW, but I'm not sure he was at our booth...I wondered what was up with the whole outfit
The industry related trade shows are usually full of "Booth Babes", they bring the guys to the booths but can't answer many questions about the products.
Z says he saw a scantly clad lady with hip high boots at one of the booths on Friday evening and then saw a BTS person talking to her and then she left and came back with more clothes on.
Z must have just been resting at that spot, to see all of this going on. I missed it.
Anyone see her?
What fun

I also saw him walking through when I was volunteering in the lobby area and asked John.. he told me that the guy was some big singer who was popular in the diving industry, but couldn't remember his name... 
so who knows on that one.
I personally thought he was a bit overdressed for the show though...

As a multi-year member of the BTS staff, I can only tell you that:So did anyone else notice the gentleman in the cowboy get up?
I mean, all leather pants and shirt, and jewelry galore.
Was he at a booth? Does anyone know who he was?
Trying to piece a puzzle together here.
Mike
1) He is not affiliated with BTS; and,
2) He's there every year, in the same outfit, complete with jewelry (I don't know if it's real turquoise or not.).

I saw him sitting at some booth, but I can't remember which one it was. We were actually talking to someone in the both next to his...don't remember which both that was either :)
I think it was a NY/NJ dive club or something like that. I remember thinking if he's from that area, what's he doing dressed up like he's from the Southwest.
All the Dutch Springs staff had shirts on. They must have massive marketing budget this year...seem to be everywhere :)
