Wrong.
Talked to the promoter.
A lot of the missing vendors called in whining "oh it's the last show, no one will be there" "oh, it's a holiday, no one will be there" "Oh, we didn't know there was gonna be a show, so we want to cancel".
Dumb move.
The place was pretty well packed for almost 4 hours yesterday, and really picked up today after about 10:30.
I think this was one of my best shows.
Too many whiny babies, vendors and customers. People still come expecting 1998 prices, some vendors, not all, try and charge panic prices that were seen for several months after the Sandy Hook tragedy.
If customers don't support the vendors who are charging fair prices, and there are many, vendors will to see the show as worthwhile, and quit coming.
And if some of the vendors don't bring their prices in line with the market, customers will quit coming.
Then, when there is no show, who will the whiners blame???
AAAAGHHHHHHHH, so frustrating...
