And the number one answer would be: To much bologna at the show?

Dear List Members,
If anybody cares, I will NOT be attending the Tucson
show this year.
Although it used to be the number one show on my
list, it no longer holds
this title for me for several reasons, mainly the
lack of decent
accommodations.
It seems for the last several years, some cheesy
motel/hotel rips us off. We
book online at $140.00 plus a night for what was
advertised as a two-star
facility just to find out it when we get there that
it is some crack-user
infested shack that should be condemned. Two years
ago, the Econo Lodge
tried to rip us off for nearly a $1,000.00 by
charging my credit card even
though we refused to stay in this falsely advertised
hell hole. They tacked
on an extra night before we even arrived in Tucson
to make the theft
complete. I used to stay by the airport but the
hotels have now raised their
prices to $250.00 a night. I could stay in a
five-star hotel in the
Caribbean for half this amount, come on, we are
talking about Tucson here!
The only other show I have been to where the hotels
jack up their prices
this much is Las Vegas and I refuse to pay $250.00 a
night for a $50.00 a
night room just because I am attending a convention.
I was going to come down this year with my RV but
decided it was not worth
the risk going through the passes which are buried
in snow and ice. This
time of year, the coastal route is far too windy and
time consuming to
hardly make it worth the effort. At 53' front to
back, the winds would
cause havoc with my setup as anybody with any road
time with a rig will tell
you. I will wait until late winter when I can spend
months in the field
searching California before putting any of my
equipment in jeopardy.
I added up my receipts from last year's Tucson show
and decided it would be
cheaper to attend the show in Germany, something I
have yet to try and look
forward to.
For those who will be attending the show, have a
great time and stay away
from the Econo Lodge! I will forward some money to
my brother, Greg who
will be to pay off the margaritas and beers I owe on
the Moss meteorite lost
wagers.
All the Best,
Adam
