I drove through the lot on the way back from our basketball game around 1:30 and the lot looked pretty full. Had my son not been starving and I had the $5 in cash to get in I would have stopped in for a few minutes.

Did anyone here make it?

I hope it was a success, but with it being right in between the Pasadena show and Tri State (geographically) I have to wonder how strong the attendance is.

I think I have been to enough fishing shows this winter. How many parachutes does a person need? Ah - who am I kidding - I would have gone if I wasn't in the office all day today.

Not a lot of vendors, but very good quality. I heard over 700 people came. There was room for 100 in the hall where the speakers were and still a lot of people stood. I was very impressed with the organization of the show, from the guys parking cars right down to the food vendors, and IT volunteers. Class act.

I like to hear that. Not all of these gigs can be full of vendors selling stuff dirt cheap. I enjoy the chatter, the atmosphere and the occasional great deal that I get.

Plus it's hard to compete with the size and popularity of the Pasadena event, especially when falling right AFTER Pasadena.

I'm glad there's a plethora of these events. It's hard to hit all of the ones that I'd like to attend, but 2 or 3 per winter id enough to keep my psyched to get back on the water soon.

One day I'll have enough free time without kid or SWMBO obligations to enjoy the speakers.

It doesn't matter how many you have, it's the price that you bought them all for. :D

Ask me how many bags of Zoom lizards I have that I'll NEVER use up. :o :eek:
