I showed up for a brief visit. Nice to see old friends (the Clines, Bill Alexander, Dave Hiorth and others), make some new ones (mike McHenry) and put faces to names of e-mail friends (Mike Reintjes, Mike Kennelly and others).
I don't think there was a competing event that kept some dealers away, it was simple economics. The show draws very few people but the cost of tables is very high. Once you factor in the cost of travel, meals and accommodation the show just doesn't warrant attendance.
