Boat shows

Ours starts next Friday but we will not be going this year. Been there, done that, got the tee-shirt. Parking and admission is too expensive unless you are planning to go to negotiate a good deal on a boat.

How is the attendance looking? I was at the Portland show for a few hours yesterday because the rivers were out of shape and it was virtually deserted on the opening Saturday.

The Seattle Show has been really busy. I sent a longer reply yesterday, and it may still show up here. Google has been going through some sort of meltdown. :-) chuckgould.chu...

Seattle show is on now.

I'm there everyday. Whoopee.

Two days next week I have the "B" shift.

B there when it opens, B there 'til it closes.

Although the hours are long, it's a very rewarding week. We get a chance to talk with a couple of thousand readers face to face and listen to them tell us what they would like to see more or less of in the publication.

This year's boat show issue is about 180 pages. That up from 80-90 pages 5 years ago, so I guess it pays to listen. :-)

Anybody coming to the indoor portion of the Seattle show- stop by and say hello. One of the feature writers or I will be at the booth passing out magazines, etc, all day every day.

You know, Jim, I would like to go to boat shows, but I don't want to pay for the privilege (sp?) of shopping. Add to that the expense of parking and travel and travel time and the show just loses it's allure. Maybe if I had time to kill (once the kids get to college), I might see it as a weekend getaway component; then it might be enticing again. Bryan

JimH, I stopped going to Boat Shows for the same reason I stopped walking the malls. If I want something, I go to a store or look it up on line to specially by it. When I go to the show or the mall, suddenly I realize I "need" all these things I didn't even realize I needed. My storage isn't big enough for all the things I thought I needed. ; )
