The IMS shows used to be halfway decent, but Advanstar jacked the prices for booth space up so high, that all the little guys with cool new stuff you never heard of, couldn't afford to go anymore.

On top of that, the fucking schedule was so screwed up, that the vendors were cris-crossing the country like crazy. This year, it's San Mateo, Dallas, Long Beach, Michigan, DC, NY, Cleveland (why even bother, what a shit hole), Minneapolis, Chicago, Charlotte and Daytona. Connect the dots assholes. Last time I did the circuit, I drove 13 thousand miles, and the idiots couldn't figure out why I didn't want to do it anymore.

I wish AIME luck.
