"VIP and regular ticket holders can ger their photo taken with Barry Sanders." "Anyone wh wants their photo taken with Barry Sanders come forwardnow" and on and on it went. It was like living under an airport flypath. Near constant noise that made it hard to speak to people in the main show area. I love Barry Sanders but after the 15th announcement, they can just f*** off.

I spoke to a few dealers about it and it seemed like it llthe near constant PA announcements were universally hated but they were resigned to it as a part of life.

Does that happen at all large shows? It would be good for promoters to find a better way.
