To say that I attended few shows last few years would be an understatement.
I'd have to say that they all are good in some ways. For us on Long Island who don't have a single show to go to all winter (except one that is dying quickly) the new Recreational show is a place to see old friends in a dead of a winter. It will take time to build following.
For strictly "shopping" purpose you cant beat RISAA. That show is incredible. Although I have to say that if you are a plug whore those two flea markets in NJ,Asbury and Berkeley will blow your mind with guys lining up at 3 am. I am wondering how much effect this economy is going to have on them. I think more then people realize but I guess will have to wait and see. I am looking forward to Plum Island show, never been that way and always looking forwards to seeing Mr. Bourque and meeting new people. Never made a massbass show yet ,I always seem to be booked by the time I get invited. I am looking forward to visiting them at their May meeting for many reasons.They are a great organization and they deserve your support.
having said that, my favorite shows are usually small in nature. Rivers End and SWE were intimate gathering where everyone seems to know each other.
