We can!! and I think its something maybe we should look into for the future.. where the greatest goods for greatest dollars are spent.

Dear AVN:

I'd like to know why the expo passes are so bloody expensive. I attend between 50-75 trade shows per year and the most expensive one was 95.00 because I was booking it only 1 month in advance.

With the expense of traveling and staying here at PEAK season which Alex pointed out, this is just one more padded expense that is out of line with the logistics of the show.

Note to show producers: The Orleans has a huge conference facility, it's off the strip and the hotel and surrounding places *Palms, Rio, gold coast* could certainly handle the number of webmasters who are attending. If you MUST put the shows at the same time as CES/PPAI and AEE .. why not put us in our own area where we can do some business.

But then they wouldn't get all the spankers & wankers paying $200 for a pass to our show, play pimp for a day and load up on sponsor swag.

I wish you fuckers would quit giving up the Orleans.
You know they wont have it there cuz its not where the cool kids stay. Which is why I am there.
GG I can answer your question pretty easily. They have that show at the same time because its in their best interest.
They dont give a fuck about the webmaster community except for twice a year.
Why do you think Aly left?
