I have about an hour to go before I head down to man my table here at the Double Tree in Costa Mesa. They hold the West Coast Blade Show.
This is a pretty small show. The number of attendees is down from previous years (so I hear from everyone, this is my first time out here). But there are a lot of serious buyers. Those who are here have money to spend. Which is what we all want. There are a lot of high end makers here, which is good to see. Some great looking stuff.
Let me warn everyone who thinks this is even comparable to the Blade Show in Atlanta. That show occupies about 75,000 sq ft. or more. This show about 12,000 sq ft. Atlanta Show there is no room in the aisles etc. Here that is plenty of space to walk around. Now I am not saying anything bad about this show, but it is not a super high pace show like the one in Atlanta, that's all.
Well, I hope that everyone liked my opinion of the West Coast Blade....
