I'm wrapping up my show time tonight, finished the going away party, got to say good bye to those who were still there.
I got to spend some time with Chris from AVN, and I told him straight up. I've been going to AVN shows from IA2000.
This show was hands down the best one I've been too for networking, making deals, and rekindling old business relationships. I'm not a Bro, I didn't get invited to 12Clicks dinner (I'm sure my invite got lost in the mail
), so take that for what it's worth.
I used to be alot like some of the people in this thread. I remember in 2002 J$tyles ranting at me for not going to shows that year and the next. My answer was I had anyone I needed to do business with were either on my cellphone or ICQ. I was wrong. New Players are shooting up every day. If you don't go to at least one major show a year, you are only doing yourself a dis service.
