Reminds me of an old limerick:
A connosseur dining at Crewe
complained of a mouse in his stew.
Said the waiter, don't shout
and wave it about
or the rest will be wanting one too.
Furthermore, I have heard of some magazines referring to their team of writers as a "stable" or a "bullpen"

How to Read a Book by Mortimer Adler
Eight Men Out Eliot Asinof
Name All The Animals Alison Smith
The Dharma Bums Jack Kerouac
Love's Labors Lost William Shakespeare

My dad took me to trade shows when I was a kid. There was the West Coast Computer Faire, where as editor of a magazine he was an exhibitor, there were one or two others where he was there as independent software developer or author.
The way I remember them was that I learned a lot and had a wonderful time, but I might have been kind of a hassle for some people in the sense that they weren't ready to have me around.
