What is the one piece of advice you would give about attending AXPONA?


Greetings all - For those of you that have been, what is the one piece of advice you would give to someone attending it for the first time, or to any audio show for the first time? 

Planning to to attend all three days. Riding the elevator to the top floor and taking the stairs down, is one thing I’ve read, and of course it makes perfect sense. What else? Thanks in advance for your responses.

1. Make a top 20 list before you go of the rooms you most want to hear;
2. Don't forsake the list;
3. Try to hear those rooms on Saturday or Sunday so you can hear them at their best;
3. Get time in the favored listening position for the rooms on your list even if those rooms are always crowded; and
4. Bring a list of specific recordings you know well and ask for those recordings to be played in rooms that interest you. Make sure your recording list is long enough that the vendor has a shot at having something you know well.

This year Seth Walker, an American electric blues singer, guitarist, and songwriter, will headline on Friday, April 12th. Walker just released his tenth studio recording, 'Are You Open', which includes bold and infectious songwriting.
If an unusually comely young lady invites you to attend a private performance, it may well be bold. And infectious. 
If you pay to eat at the buffet, get there early. The exhibitor eat like piranha.

one piece?

have fun!

other input?
soft shoes and hydration are great ideas.
locate the bathrooms early on.
pace.
have a lengthy list of songs for audition as said.
see the major rooms or largest demos on the first day, VAC, MBL, . etc.
see as many rooms/demos as is possible thereafter and on Sat.
check out your preff list for gear on Sunday, arriving early well rested and fed.
bring with some music in various formats on the occassion you are allowed to use it/them.

there are likely gonna be too many demos to see them all. see as many as you can stand to see as there will be those which were maybe not on your radar which might be quite compelling.
