I agree! I was refering to the modern convention. A lot of our friends are pretty scarce the past few years. The old days, I looked forward to it.

Plus there are new venues for us to get together!

Happy New Year Old Fold!!

I'm feeling pretty good about the approach i'm taking this year.

Fly out for the tail end of the show (i get in tomorrow) and then hang out in vegas and just relax and have a little fun for a few days after the crowds are gone.

As small as the show floor has been, two afternoons of that is more than enough for me to do the business I need to do there. And the bar at night is almost always where the real business gets done.

Even before they made the stupid decision to put it up against CES, I was thinking about doing this last year after I noticed how little time I spent actually "at the show". I generally make one pass to see what and who is there and check out the things on my "shopping list". Then another pass the next day to actually either deal or shake a hand and grab a business card for something to follow up on when I get home.
