Angry JLC Long Beach
Today I went to "JLC Live" in Long Beach California.

Sorry to say it Was a Big Let Down. I have been able to attend every year since 2000.

Every year the size of this event has gotten Smaller and Smaller to be what I found Today !!! Hardly any People and Not Even Half as Many Vendors as Last Year and Maybe even Less, or so it seemed.

How Depressing... Anyone Else Go There or Plan To ???

What are Your Thoughts on this Show ?

I go to the Providence show every year. The only thing that has changed is that they don't have the skill contest anymore. I use to do pretty well with the hammer throws and the sawsall cutting. The classes are great and the how to classes are excellent. Overall I would give the show a 10 on a 1-10!

I was looking forward to it, but we couldn't go. We had a crazy week. Sorry it sucked. Is it in L.B. every year?

Last weekend was the "rainbow pride" parade. How was your cruise Skyhook?

Last Year it was at the Anaheim Convention Center I think.

It has moved around the last few years, but Long Beach has been the most used location in the last 6 or 7 years I think.

That Trade Show Just Is Not What It Used To Be.

Bumm Me Out.
