5. Huckster Room: Presenters ~ Dealers ~ Bidders
 Once the hucksters room was set up and in business, Martin Powell gave his presentation:
" ERB Comic Strip Script Writing."
Martin is currently the author of the online weekly comic strips 
Carson of Venus, The Eternal Savage, The War Chief, and The Cave Girl for ERB, Inc.
 A video by artist Diana Leto 
with whom Martin collaborated on ERB's The Cave Girl.
 Lane Batot awaits his turn 
to continue his talk on working with 
Dr. Jane Goodall and the chimps in Africa.
Lane peppered his talk with many funny anecdotes,
some of which he shared after 
the Friday night dinner at the Cardinal 
Hall of Fame Restaurant next door to the hotel.
Martin discussed his work and 
answered questions from the audience.
 John Tyner and the ERBfans in the hucksters room for the presentations and the BB auction.
 Jim Hadac, Bob Hibbard, and Joe Lukes listen 
while checking out the goods being readied for the BB aucction 
following the lunch break.
 ERB's great granddughter
Llana Jane Burroughs
is joined by Eva, Greg, and Kenneth in the huckster's room.
 Dr. Phil Currie shares his love of ERB with everyone in attendance.

BURROUGHS BIBLIOPHILES AUCTION
 David, Fred, Devon, and Joe waiting for the auction to begin!
 George McWhorter arrives and the auction will soon begin. 
The list of items was augmented greatly by George's contribution
from the Ekstrom Library collection.
 Ray Le Beau, George and Patrick exchange greetings on the way to their seats for the auction
 Some of the items up for grabs - all ERB related - 
foreign editions, comics, books, fanzines, toys...
 DVDs. rare VHS tapes! collector's cards. 
I really wanted that one of the thark, but alas, a higher bid won...
 These incredible leather pieces are the creations of Bob Hibbard. 
He donated all of them to the BB auction - much desired by all in attendance!
 Copies of past ERBAPAs Edgar Rice Burroughs Amateur Press Association publications
for those who do not have a complete set
 Bob O'Malley and Dick Spargur waiting for the bidding to begin!
 Eva hiding her number from Dr. Currie
Dennis Keith Wilcutt is smiling. 
He`s got his items pegged!
John Buchheit: 
Ready, set to bid!
Bill Wagner donated one of ERB's books 
for the attendees to bid on - 
for the privalege of signing 
his/her name inside the cover. 
Joan Beldig has been winning the bid 
to be the first signature for many years...
 Ah... Becky, that hat looks perfect on you, Pardner:-) 
Bill Ross and Mike Conran check
to make sure all the itmes are set out.
 Bill Ross works his crowd. 
I had to ask where MY Bill was so I didn't bid against him ;-)
 Brad and Pat Vinson have always been in a bidding war 
with Jim Thompson on the higher-priced items. 
If Brad hesitates, Pat jumps in! 
This way, she won't have to listen to Brad's disappointment ;-)
 George was not allowed to bid, 
as he had donated so many of the items!
Yes, I was given a bidding card 
by another attendee, Elaine Shelhorse 
as I arrived too late to be given one.
I paid $30.00 just to have 
one of Bob Hibbard's key fobs! 
I also got a "collector's card"
 No, I didn't win the leather Plant Man, 
but having a picture taken with it 
was good enough for me:-)
It was either Jim Thompson or Brad Vinson 
who won the bid on this.
I did buy some comic strips for Bill. 
Gotta keep the kid happy ;-)
 After the auction, George came up to our room to relax a bit before the banquet. 
Patrick dropped by and we checked out a few ERB sites on our laptop.
I was able to snatch several cookies from the foyer 
(set out by the hotel) to go with our coffee. 
This snack held us over until the banquet at 7 pm.
