I first met Sebastian Hunt while wandering around my first conference in Chicago. Having never been to a trade show, I tentatively explored my new surroundings unsure how to approach booths. Low and behold standing in the middle of a huge convention hall holding a deck of cards with his sleeves rolled was a pleasant gentleman in a three piece suit. As I approached him he stepped forward and asked, “Do you want to see a card trick?” What a ridiculous question, of course I did

At eTail there were a lot of vendors dealing with website commerce and quite a few with tracking and managing prices. Strangely enough, I am rarely authorized to ink deals with anyone. This is probably because I generally want to get everything so I can play with
