GAAAAAAAAAAAH ...Thank dog I have been sick sooo much the past 4 months....
....will...not....kill....with....mental....powers .....
Lets address this once and for all, the We that this was refering to is the HHVA, a 60+ member strong block of vendors - we were ready to do what we believe we need to do to guarantee the survival of the haunt industry with a buyers/vendors show. Kip, happens to be a member.
This IS NOT the Larry SHOW, this is the HAUNT SHOW, period.
TW, is hosting it, so it will the 14th TW HAUNT SHOW.
Coincidentally it will be in the town Larry lives, and Mark, and Kip, and a bunch of yahoos who do not know how to get out of a damned flood plain.
WE (defined above) offered a number of locations, primarily "2nd tier" cities that should be viable selections. Yes St Lu was an option. Honestly, with how Chicago was courting this I thought the show was going to be back there. But the final decision was made after polling an equal number of randomly selected (ie unknown to the aforementioned WE, Larry or anyone else!) vendors and buyers, from All levels of the industry, to get a concensus, for a majority opinion.
NO, it will save what ....3-4 home town vendors money , big f-ing deal! There are no less that 60 PRE-commited vendors who will stick suck up the expense of going to SOMEWHERE the show is located.
IMO, it did not matter if it was St Lu, Chi-town, KC, Cinci, Louisville or where ever, they all cost me roughly the same, what mattered is will the BUYERS attend. If it was moved to Cleveland would it be the Corey Show? Come on now!
Yes, the costs are down - you have no idea how much these shows add to the bottom line of our businesses, how much TIME we must commit to presenting there.
MinionsWeb will take advantage of the lower booth space and spend MORE money to increase the booth space to bring YOU new products, and show them in a way YOU might actually F-ing notice them.
2 years we have been bringing the sweetest tombstones around and no one bothers to come in the tent once they see spider webs hanging 50ft about their heads.
Hell, I wont go into the other 3 new lines no one notices......
As far as the show emerging from the dust that will be the HCPshow - there was a ton of input - WE (remember above?) TW, Larry, IAHA, Leonard, and god knows how many others.
As far as I am concerned, TWLV, deadernadoornail, may attend Houston, but I guarantee MinionsWeb and most of your favorite suppliers will be at TWSL For HauntShowXIV
