This is not uncommon for me either. I do two big shows a year and usually one will be ho-hum and the other will be better and the next year they switch. Partially because I love the old style quilts I look for those. One year the San Diego Quilt Show had a display of quilt tops that were different styles and techniques, they looked like the ones people in their grandmother's home she never had time to finish - I was so intrigued by them I went back all three days. It just really fascinated me - but the year it was all modern I walked through rather quickly. Just never know what I am going to find so keep on going because it's fun to be around other quilters and see what is new.
