I went to the 1st JavaOne and it cost me $1995.00, that is about $1910.00 more than the Lulu Tech Circus.
I think if you are going to compare this show to something you have to use a show that costs the same to attend. SIGGRAPH 2002 was between $700-900. So that is 10X what this event costs. So if you want to say that SIGGRAPH was 10X better than I am willing to listen, but you can just make blind comparisons. If I said that my $50K BMW was better than your $10K Kia that would really be fair would it?
