Quoted from Dayhuff:And another reason why I'm not a vendor at Expo anymore, the Vendor hours are getting way too long....I'm mean 14 hour days...? Come on !! From a vendor's stand point anything beyond the first two days is a wasted effort, if people haven't bought whatever it is there looking for in the first two days there not going to buy it and the remaining two days is a loss what with the hotel expense, food, booth space.....etc.
Check with my wife on this, she's the expert when it comes to doing stuff in downtown Chicago for four days each year.
This just simply isn't going happen and I think your all fooling yourselves if you think it will happen. Rob and Mike started this show back when there was no other shows around and it's there baby and I think trying to go through Rob to get Mike pulled away from the show is just silly. I'm not saying I agree with what he may or may not have done in the past but to think that he's just going to go away is nonsense. Sure I think Mike needs to tone it down a few notches but I've never had a problem with him at either of his shows. Personally I like the Ohio show the best of them all for a few various reasons and Mike and I seem to hit it off at that show since it doesn't have the stress level that I'm sure Expo does.
If people think there just going to start up another show that will somehow compete with Expo....., We'll I think your dead wrong.
That's just my two cents.

I purchased quite a bit on Saturday and I was there starting Wednesday. I understand and sympathize with you on the drain manning a booth for that long can be is though.
I'm not gonna pile on Mike but I will say Mike and Rob are ambassadors to the expo they started. I leave it to everyone to judge how each carries the title.
