Rocky Mountain Audio Fest 2008

The show gets bigger every year. This year, there will be exhibits at the Hyatt as well as the Marriott. I'm happy for the show's success and it's nice to have more exhibitors there (although it's already more than I can absorb in 3 days), but bigger crowds are the downside. So...

...let me tell all youse that RMAF SUCKS, it's a terrible, two-bit show, half the rooms are Bose exhibits, they play Jennifer Warnes in every room, it will turn you off to audio bigtime, don't waste your time and money, stay home.

We will be there for sure- as Albert says, a lot more laid back than CES or T.H.E. Show. Its easily twice the size of the biggest Stereophile shows. This year additional rooms are added at the Hilton a block away.

One thing is for sure- this show is also the most fun, as there are so many things to see that you will not see at CES and its easy to get to and not spread out. Plus the orientation is not so industry-related.

I wouldn't miss it for the world. This one will be number 4 for me. Made my room reservation at the Marriott while checking in at the hotel for last year's show.

My son and I are going to do a road trip for this year though, driving from the East coast via the northern route to see some roadside attractions on the way out, and via the southern route to do the same on the way back.
