The MAAAAANNNN Expo


The Man Expo is happening this weekend. The. Man. Expo. Here is the description:

ALL THINGS MAN! Over 400 exhibitors, occupying over 90,000 square feet, displaying the latest and greatest products and services. The ultimate MAN event. There will literally be something for every man! Pre-register for a $3 discount, or pay $15 at the door.

I just can't help it. Who are these exhibitors? What is going to be available at the Man's Expo? What are the latest and greatest products and services?
After a quick brainstorm - here is what the Rosscat and I came up with:
1) Tools - all sorts all sizes all shapes. Need a specific ratchet? This has got to be your place. I am sure that they will have tools that you never even knew you needed - along with fancy schmancy tool belts to carry them in.
2) Trucks. Monster trucks. Nothing says amazingly manly like ridiculously large trucks.
3) Sports cars. Possibly with bikini clad ladies sitting on top. But this is Utah - so that is debatable.
4) New electronic gadgets that provide gps, temperature gauges, music capability, and then turn into food. I am sure they will also be selling holsters to carry these electric gadgets around on your person.
5) Barbecue. Lots of it.
6) Star Wars stuff. (This is to attract the geek-man).
7) Sports. There will probably just be monitors everywhere you look that have either WWF on them or some sort of boxing. They'll probably just be replaying past fights. It doesn't matter. It's manly!
8) Adrenaline junky vacation plan offers

There are a few things that the Rosscat hopes will be there:
1) Manpri vendors
2) Murse vendors (you know the manbag that is a purse)
3) Lego star wars display
4) Chocolate chip cookies

I'm pretty sure that Binford tools will have a display at the Man Expo. I thought the Outdoors Expo was already kind of the Man Expo. Seems like if you take the Outdoor Expo, Toys R Us, Best Buy, and Sears - you already have it. That said, I can't wait to go this Saturday.

Also, we totally forgot video gaming as a huge portion of the expo. That must be one of the bigger attractions.

So I'm assuming you'll be a patron, Ross. KT, are you going with? You could go incognito as just Kris (you'd have to tuck your luscious curls away under a hat of some sort obviously).

I would also be very surprised if there weren't seminars on how NOT to multitask.

Good post--I have wondered about that one too. So, does Greg call a bunch of buddies and they pick each other up with their coupons and go to the expo after lunch?

This sounds amazing! They will probably even having a belching contest that I'm betting "Kris" will win. Please take lots of pictures to post.
