Wayne that sounds like a good idea. We are doing some free seminars as well. These are open to the public.

The vendors are charged a only few hundred dollars to have the opportunity to have one to two thousand people see, hear and enjoy their products. Hotels in California are more expensive than in OK. This is a medium sized show. A small DIY show can be pulled off on the cheap, but when you want to do a bigger show, lots of time and money has be put into advertising, promotion, mailings, sales and more.

Frankly, DIYers as a group are viewed with disdain by most of the larger manufacturers, but we will have smaller to mid-sized manufacturers with reasonable prices and special deals on parts and tubes. This show will be perfect for the audiophile DIYer who want to look for parts, sources, network, listen and just enjoy the atmosphere and energy.
