It's a personal thing (Catholic upbringing?) but I feel like I'm intruding if I don't have a legitimate right to be there. I know these audio companies spend uber bucks to be there and need to squeeze every drop of benefit for time spent. They don't need me, a lowly consumer, taking up space.
It would be nice if the CES had a "public day" so I could go. BTW, I'm a 'Vegas resident (audio wasteland).
