I wish I could go but I'll be in SE Asia :D

Last time I had a chance to go was in 2000 when they were at LA and the Aquarium of the Pacific just opened.

Lots of freebies to be had....... especially on the last day when the exhibitors are packing up to leave.

Cheers,

I think i might go again this year, even if it is to see how much i cant have.

Should be a little more comfortable this time, the heat was messin me up last one in texas, was like 33 degree`s and 100% humidity....but the show and the hotel rooms and resteraunts all were air conditioned down by like 15 degrees.
Everytime you walk outside you felt like your first 2 layers of skin just roasted off.

Now i just need a couple o buds to go with.....ROOAAADDD TTTRRRIIIPPP !

I guess it would be interesting to tour the Pittsburgh Steel Mills. I've always wanted to know if they do indeed play "Gonna Make You Sweat" by C+C Music Factory on the loudspeaker.:razz:

"Hot stuff comin through!"

Excellent!! I didn't realize they were the only ones that put in a bid :biggrin:

apperently it costs in the 6 figs to set one of these events up. I remember in the early days of Macna 5 in Toronto...... they lost big money.

I am seriously thinking of going to the on in Atlanta :)
