I'm over here in California, unable to get to the show because of a severe
family issue...but have no clue why anyone would throw water on an effort to
make the best of anything. Sorry to watch this spat. In fact, it's
pathetic. I congratulate Mike for risking anything and making the show what
it is.

Adam, why the sour grapes?

My point to Adam after reading his usual diatribe of crap that parking can't
be too bad if I'm willing to risk parking my car at the show.
I'm not sure where someone who isn't here and doesn't plan to come can spend
so much time telling others what's going on here when he clearly had no
idea.
Amazingly plenty of Chinese and Japanese buyers were here, found parking,
and even survived the flooding to spend their money.
Sad that an American is so afraid of some water and full parking lots to
come when they circle the planet to get here.
