Ahh yes, the large, imposing, wonderfully exciting Nebraska Furniture Mart!!!!! Could have explored that place for HOURS; we went there Saturday (June 25th to be exact...LOL) during the Convention. Washers, dryers, ranges, refrigerators, and electronics galore...not to mention a Burger King and other fast-food "kiosks" and that wasn't even all. It must have been AWESOME to see the place in the 70's with all of those Frigidaire 1-18s and center-dial 'Tags.
I had so much fun playing with the new machines, and it was HILARIOUS pi**ing off the salespeople and pointing out to the customers that the washers and dryers they were looking at were absolute crap (which was in fact true). I can't count how many times they went up to each of us and asked, "Can I help you?" I do sometimes wonder what they thought, seeing a bunch of guys with odd nametags walking up & down each row of kitchen/laundry equipment, opening the front-loading washers and pulling back the door boots, and not to mention the nonstop appliance discussion!
Yes, the Omaha Convention was very fun...that was great that the local news covered it. Now that reminds me, it's been almost a year (though it doesn't feel like it) and I still need to get that video segment from Greg!
