How about that it should be mandatory to practice personal hygiene before attending. At a bare minimum take a freaking shower. At Axpona this year there were several times that I had to move along because of someone stinking up the place. I'm no prude and not the take a shower every morning type but cmon people, very close quarters!
Sorry, rant over. I had a good time regardless.
It is what it is. Later hours might be cool. Less attendees would be a plus. It's not really a more is merrier situation to me. But, I'm pretty sure this year was less crowded than 2 years ago. I'd be curious to see the numbers. I went on Saturday and was surprised at the crowd, or lack of it at times.
