I wont go to shows, but if I did, AF would be the only one I would go to,
everything else is run by the suits working for the man, not AF, AF is where
the bad kids hang out and smoke cigarettes,

I think if there's enough attendance, vendors are happy to come for the
exposure and ability to get in front of people, regardless of what you may be
doing personally with your own products.
Plus, most of us don't have any other excuse to come to Utah and it's a nice
trip once a year.

Debating on whether or not to do AnimalFarm again.
My moral dilemma is that I have this nice ecommerce website now but none of
the ecommerce stuff is turned on. Easy to do. But then that starts to erode
dealer sales. And also erode the relationship with the dealers.
But it may capture sales that would otherwise be lost.
In any event, if I am planning to do some direct sales, it is not fair to
ask our dealers to sponsor AnimalFarm - if I am serious about doing this that
is.
I am half serious. Perhaps 60% serious. As time passes, that percentage
may grow.
And the majority of the sponsorship comes from manufacturers, not dealers...
And AF is a bunch of work. It breaks even. Not what we would call a
significant profit center in any way.
But as time has gone on, all of you have been great at crowdsourcing the
setup....
