Re: Common - Anaheim...

[Don <dr2@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Laura,

Since there is no other trade show for the midrange product line and
since it happens only twice a year and since they're gonna have a expo
anyway...and since not everyone is going to be able to attend Common, and
since the expo subsidizes(sp?!) the costs of the convention, and since
there are alot of locals that would like to have exposure to the vendor
area that for whatever reason won't be able to make the main sessions.....
why not?  :)

Basically what brought this up was the fact that they wanted about $350
for a manditory 1-day pass JUST to attend the expo in NOLA....and there
were people that drove all the way from DFW just to wonder through the
expo....and had to return to DFW on Monday...and I'm sure this isn't the
only time this has happened...this is kinda (bizzare!) when compared to
the real world...like NAB, et al....   There has to be a happy medium
here....

Don in DC metro...
