I haven't talked to Charlie in a couple months, but he's obviously upside down doing other stuff. I dig Vacuum Tube Valley magazine - I don't have a problem with the number of pages, and I certainly appreciate the content but I'd like to see the publishing schedule be more regular. Once a quarter, bi-annually, even annually would be OK as long as I knew what to expect. I guess that's probably it with me, I like things that are pretty reliable and consistent.I kinda like this online stuff because it is more interactive and you kind of get a feel for where everyone is coming from. I think I prefer internet messageboard comments to magazine product reviews, because online posts are user's comments and that takes advertising bias out of the picture. But most messageboard comments are made off-the-cuff, and that's an entirely different style than what publishers use. I like the depth and weight that a researched article offers, be it historical facts or technical information. Having a tangible, physical magazine you can hold in your hand is nice too, and I hope VTV continues to publish. So many of 'em don't.

You figured right. In fact, I've been pretty busy all month, what with all the "little stuff" - replying to E-Mail's, receiving exhibitors logos and photos, scaling and converting them for display on the GPAF website, adding them to the website and modifying pages, etc. That in addition to shipping kits and stuff made my April pretty busy. I didn't intend to be the event's organizer, and it really has just run itself. But someone has to be a point man, and I guess that man was me.This last ten days or so were a mad dash and I was working from the time I awoke until I fell asleep, maybe 16 hours later. I don't relish working that way, 7 days a week. But I think it was worth it 'cause I think this will be a fun little show. I think this first year will be a nice time and the start of a great annual event, where everyone is invited and there are no axes to grind or fees to pay. It's got a great feel and I'm very pleased. Kicks off tomorrow!
