Now .... TAS!

Hi Alan,

And here I thought it was safe to go back into the thread.

Your arguments, even that of your "customer," don't sway me. Yes, audiophiles want to read about products. But the highest concentration, BY FAR, is at the Venetian. Since it's inception, THE Show has gotten smaller and smaller and smaller. To me, this is what happens when your sole plan is to live off the marketing efforts of another show. It's kind of like THE Show is in a bad relationship or something -- always complaining about CES, always pointing out its faults, but can't survive without them.

As I said in a previous post, we only got to about 60% of the rooms I wanted us to. Furthermore, I've gotten a couple dozen emails from companies saying they were glad to see us, but they wished we could have stayed longer and listened more. We were rushed at The Venetian.

Which is exactly why, next year, we'll place MORE emphasis on The Venetian, less elsewhere.

Furthermore, we're not the only ones. It seems that Steve Stone as TAS is willing to state something similar, only stronger:
