Bed Bug Summit 2010

   Ain't that a bitch? There is an actual North American Bed Bug Summit hosted by, get this, BedBug University. I'm all for spreading the word about bed bugs but this is getting out of hand. What's next? Bed Bug prevention programs? Bed Bug 101 as a college entry-level course? Bed Bug prevention suits that are worn by afflicted sufferers while sleeping? Hm, that's not a bad idea actually... When does the madness end and can someone wake me up when it happens?

   Anyway, the "Summit" takes place on September 21-22 in Chicago but it's sold out. Ain't that a bitch? I might crash the venue if I'm allowed to take a few days off so I can see what's up. Shake hands, make some bed bug connections, and be on the lookout for dirty ass people. Sounds like fun. More details may be found on the official site: http://www.nabedbugsummit2010.com/ and the 6-page PDF brochure may be downloaded here. If you missed the Bed Bug Summit for this year, you can always go to the site and add your name to a waiting list for next year's show. I'm thinking the fervor over bed bugs will have died down by 2011 but the bugs might have staying power.
