Revised count: are you doing Vegas?

I won't be at the show, but am getting together with a couple people for private dinners, parties, etc.

Nah, not going this year. Not real happy about the CES and the Video Show happening at the same time. Just really don't see the point ingoing. We don't have a bunch of webmasters that we need to get to send us traffic, we already have traffic and we sell it. Besides, I've got a bad feeling that it's going to be SWAMPED w/ non-industry fan-type people. The video show has people lining up for HOURS just to get a chance to see some "porn stars". How long do you think it'll take them to figure out there are "porn stars" over at the 'net show and significantly shorter lines? I heard that there are even tickets set aside for fans. InterNext was bad enough having to wade thru the thousands of newbs. Now there's going to be thousands of fans too?

Esh. I for one skipped the Florida show and will be skipping vegas. Instead I've been going to the smaller shows like Phoenix, San Diego, LA, Amsterdam, etc. I've found that all the people I want to talk to and do business with are there and it's a MUCH more relaxed settting.

End of InterNext? I doubt it. But I do think that this year there's going to be a HELL of a lot of bitching and complaining and I think that the smaller shows are going to get more and more popular. Which of course will make them bigger and bigger and less and less popular. Who knows. I'm feeling cynical these days. FUCK IT. It's new years eve, what the fuck am I doing here? I've gotta bottle of Jager waiting on me!
