it's a great show!
all sorts of good things about it, but one word of caution:
watch vendor prices carefully.
some know people assume everything there is "a deal."
in a lot of cases the prices at the show booth is the same as you'd pay anywhere else.
i
do not mean to imply they are trying to get away with something sneaky.
i mean only that you should choose carefully what you have to haul around the show and get back home.
even if you go by car with lots of space left after bodies and baggage, just dragging that little bit too much around the show itself can put a lot of wear and tear on your shoulders and back.
you
can get awesome deals on machines, long-arm frames and things like that.
there are often really nice package deals, too.
don't be afraid to haggle. (see if they'll throw in free shipping, for example.)
as for shoes ... i take a nice pair of plush, extra-comfy slippers, too.
i switched to those when even the walking shoes weren't enough.
i got lots of funny looks but my tooties were quite happy.
