Marshall Yard:

While the vast majority of Marshall-Yard.com readers look to us for advice on how to live a more virtuous lifestyle, hints on climbing the corporate ladder, and marital dispute resolutions, a precious few have higher expectations for the site and its content. Some readers expect unbelievably objective trade show exhibit information (it’s so unbiased I want to SCREAM!!!). Some come here for the pretty pictures. Some, after years decades of fervent reading, look to us for something more - they are left yearning even after their daily* fix of exhibit booth goodness.

Some Marshall-Yard.com readers expect us to predict the future. This post is for you.

On December 9th, 2008, I made a bold, unprecedented prediction that one of the “Great Trade Shows for 2009” would include the “Newspaper & Print Journalists Expo.” The post was written in soggy sarcasm (dripping with…). As of today, February 27th, 2009, IT has come to pass!

Headline: “Newspaper convention canceled amid industry woes“ [sic]

For those of you who have been yearning for bold predictions of future events, keep reading. We will continue to satiate the intellectual and emotional appetites of the hopeless, confused masses - but you can now count on us to predict any, and all, future events of even the slightest significance.

Go figure: a blog downplaying the importance of a negative event for print media. Hmmmmm…
