I thought the show was extremely well run. I think that Steve M and his crew did a excellent job in putting it together, in getting everyone in there, getting them back out, they were responsive, Went so far as the guys at the DOOR came around and shook your hand this afternoon and thanked each dealer for being there. They did a good job advertising it, got the people in the door.
One hiccup was the electrical guys busting my balls over $1.88 that I misfigured the tax on the sheet. But it was straightened out easy enough.

Now compare it to MSBA....only thing I saw that I liked better was that the aisles were wider and easier to navigate instead of being shoulder to shoulder and not being able to move as in periods at the MSBA show. That's the only neg thing I have besides the stair issue which everyone has to deal with

I think MSBA and RISAA should pool resources and do a JOINT show TWICE a year....once in spring and once in the late fall.

I'd be very curious to see what the turn-out was yesterday in there and compare it to MSBA too. There was ALOT of people there yesterday!
