Kevin CummingsI echo Leon's sentiments - if you go to any show expecting to come home with a great acquisition, there's a good possibility you'll be disappointed. If you go to a show happy just to meet and chat with board friends and dealers face-to-face the trip will almost always be worthwhile.
At shows, I've been fortunate to meet a bunch of folks I never would have had the opportunity otherwise (like Leon and Scott Brockleman, for instance, at the Atlantic City National). My problem is that I'm usually under a time constraint and can't hang out longer to meet folks who aren't at the show at exactly the same time I am.
After all our email and phone exchanges, there's one person I'd love to meet - Elliot!
