If Convention Center Flashing Signage Noting AAPA Presence is Seen By No One, Does A Tree Fall?

I know that's not how the "tree falls and no one hears it etc" saying goes, but it did come up for me tonight. I'm staying at the stylish Seaport (because I was such a slacker and didn't get my res in earlier to stay in the Westin), and I walked across the bridge toward the over-the-top convention center to meet some friends at the Westin for dinner. As I approached the Convention Center, there were wildly flashing images of PAs, AAPA logos, a few AAPA luminaries and the like, but there was not a person around, except for me, to see it. I am not sure if it was just practice, but it was a little surreal, just me, the bridge, and 20 foot tall images of our AAPA president. But it looked good, and it got me pumped up for the action starting tomorrow. Kudos to the AAPA and the Convention Center for pumping up the AAPA, and I'm sure more people will see it tomorrow. I suppose that even if this sparkle only serves to make us PAs feel fired up, that it's plenty worth it. The bold architecture (http://www.rvapc.com/works/131-boston-convention--exhibition-center) is really a knockout, and architect Rafael Vinoly has it going on.
