Very glad someone else will be there with their wife. I was their last year with my wife and on Saturday you could count the amount of women there on your fingers. Sunday there seemed to be a better female showing but still rather sparse. We will be attending again this year and she's already hoping that there are a few more women. I understand that this tends to be more of a male dominated hobby but my wife enjoys the music and she does have her opinions about the equipment we buy. As for the show, it was the only one I had ever attended so I can't make any comps. All indications were that it was a big success. That's why they decided to bring it back even bigger. I'm hoping they make it a yearly stop. Seeing as how I live only about a half hour away makes it even better.
