The show was smaller than I had anticipated, but still a positive experience overall. I met some great people and got to work on some decent demos. Here are a couple samples of the works I did to promote the new release of SketchBook Pro. 
I don't know why all I all the decent ones were gray scale cars, but that's how things go i guess.

It took 29 hours for me to get home, via air. After the whole ordeal, all I can express is, don't fly US airways. I made the mistake of going to the airport3 hours early
(Just for the air conditioning, more than anything. I am a true believer of showing up 45 minutes before a flight. That way, when you are confronted by long security lines, you can bypass right up to the front. I've never been in the Toronto airport more than a half hour before the security gates.)
Anyway, the flight before mine departed on time, and broke down right before lift off, so they had to deplane and board our plane. This somehow delayed our flight for 3 hours and cancelled any chances of connecting flights. So they put a bunch of us up in a Holiday Inn, and booked me in for a 7:40am flight the next day. At the hotel, I arranged for a wake up call, which didn't come through, and I ended up missing that flight by 3 hours. I weaseled/charmed my way into getting an extra long stay, free lunch, breakfast and movies as well as compensation for an alternate flight, which is a pretty big deal, from a nice lady named Cindy. After that, our 5:15 flight boarded on time, but a 20 minute rainstorm resulted in 2 hours and 22 minutes on the tarmac. After that, no hick ups.
On a side note, I guess someone noticed my digital painting tutorial and posted it on http://www.carbodydesign.com/. Last time I checked it had 570+ hits on the first day. Its the first tutorial on the main page.
And another side note,I will not be extruding tubes for a living at a waterslide design company, and will be remaining with Autodesk for another 4 month contract. Good stuff I suppose.
This image was taken by a dude I met on the showfloor. I convinced him to buy 2 seats of sketchbook. I'm a sales guy now.
