You're probably right. Maybe it was only in the last couple years I
started giving up on coming home with something really cool at every
'fest.
You've still got to look in all your favorite spots, though. Just
last Sunday I was heading home from a 'fest in Wisconsin that gave up
very little and stopped at the thrift store near my old apartment.
After much digging and a double-take because I couldn't believe what I
found, an HP 35 calculator pops up from under the junk. And they even
managed to not lose the AC adaptor.
It's all about the hunt, I guess...
