APSE convention and judging

Yeah, glad our dues are going to something worthwhile.

As far as the attendance goes, nobody wanted to take vacation time and/or pack up their families to go to Minneapolis because, you know, it's always been more about the destination and not the convention. Vegas has never posed a problem in that regard.

 

good question

 

That's why I'm not sure Pittsburgh will be a big destination spot next year.

 

What, you havent read the latest blather from Hoppes?

I threw up in my mouth a little bit reading that earlier today.

 

Ehh, it was a pretty good piece for a travel brochure. I didn't know half that shit about Pittsburgh.

Just don't understand why the state of the industry continues to be ignored by APSE.

 

Because the state of the industry doesn't concern most of them. They're like the guys on Wall Street who get a bonus even though their company went bankrupt.

 

eh. I wouldn't go that far.

 

Yeah, as much as we pile on Lynn (and sometimes it's deserved, especially in regard to APSE tunnel vision), he's had to make cuts, too. And he's not getting a golden parachute like the Wall Street CEOs. That was a little uncalled for.

 

You take that back. You take it back right now.

 

Pittsburgh: We're not so bad, though our towels are terrible!
