It was fun being the center of attention in the Audio Technica booth during NAB 2015. Hard work, though. Brought my directors chair and barely spent any time in it. Folks kept coming up and asking questions about shotguns, lavs, System 10 wireless, and production sound in general. They loved that my soundcart was fully functional and that they could play with the booms, or see how we do attenuated dual mono live mixes concurrent with ISO's.
