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.

Again, thank you all for commenting. The tongue in cheek comments are funny. Well, mostly.

It's your hobby, therefore, treat it as such and have fun.

Pull out the Rolex, comb your hair and wear a sports jacket - that way dealers and exhibitors will give you the time of day.
Don’t forget the $400 shoes.

When I had a nice car, I thought about going to test drive other nice cars.

"Here’s my chance to have the keys of every mid-high sports/luxury car literally thrown at me, at every high(er) end car brand dealership I enter", I thought. The vehicular version of 'wearing your $400 shoes', to send the right signals.

Never did find the time to use that. Then I got a ’regular’ car again. Sigh.

I was wondering, is a black leather jacket still an indication that the person is very hip to the whole scene?

Day one complete. Covered a lot of ground. Feet don’t hurt too bad. Used many of your tips. Heard some very good rooms and some not so good rooms. Some were a surprise (good and bad). Not planning to mention which were which as I understand things can improve as the weekend progresses.
