Taken in jest of course. ;P Everyone who met me at the show saw me with a big plastered smile on my face. I had a great time, and I could care less about a few hundred bucks for a show like that. I guess that it is hard to consider all the hidden costs that it takes to make a show like that happen. When you price a meal for $45 on the agenda, the consumer just sees the plate, but not all the people it takes to put in the tables and chairs, candles, plates silverware, food preparation, serving, clean up and etc. That was a huge empty building just hours before. Heck, it must cost hundreds just to cool it off. ..not to mention the rental of the sound and lighting system, video projectors, etc. >From a vendors perspective, it is a great bargain to be able to set up for free. When I attend the National Association of Broadcasters meeting each year in Vegas, they charge $40 per square foot for vendor space! (typical booth costs $10,000). However as an attendee I feel that the vendors were one of the star attractions. I had a great time shopping. Hey, we can nit-pick this thing to death - I had a great time and loved it. For those that didn't....SEEK COUNSELING and ENJOY LIFE FACHRISTSAKE!. - Videobob VIN#5278 PS- I am editing some of this video right now and it is fantastic, for anyone who missed the show your lucky I got all this tape so you will be able to see what we are talking about! I have a lot of great candid moments, and everyone who was there will be in the video. I got a little of everyone at some point or another. >From: kKoncelik@xxxxxxx >Reply-To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >To: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx >Subject: Re: [DML] Re: Pigeon Forge Show disappointing >Date: Tue, 29 Jun 2004 20:54:43 EDT > >In a message dated 6/29/2004 4:32:35 PM Eastern Daylight Time, >videobob@xxxxxxxxxxx writes: >We all know video Bob so take these responses as tounge in cheek >I enjoyed bob at the show and if he can dish it out he can take it as well >remember these comments are in jest >- >- To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
