"T.H.E. SHOW in Costa Mesa. I was very excited as this was my first audio show. What a disappointment!"

I was hoping  someone would mention T.H.E. Show last weekend. 

Other than the fact turnout was very low attendee(good for maneuvering in between rooms/elevator)it was a waste of my $25 day pass! The 2 friends I went with felt the same.

None of the "BIG Guns" had representation and you could tell some exhibitors didn't  want to be there.

The speakers mentioned - budget/value Chesk and ESL were among the few that caught my attention.

Otherwise, a sad audio show.😪

Entering the lobby of the hotel, one couldn't tell an event was even happening!

Go to Axpona or plan a vacation  around one of the European /Asian  shows.
