I'll second the motion.  I, too, sold most of what I brought out to the 
fest.  I bought a few bags of components and a couple of rack panels 
with some nice accessories attached.  The main building was only 50% 
occupied.  Missing were a lot of computer and ham-related commercial 
vendors.  There was a modicum of the RDS sellers (that is: Rubber Dog 
S&%$ from Hong Kong).  In the triple-area cow palace, the indoor 
tailgate area was all but vacant and what was there was mainly dumpster 
detritus.  The remaining two indoor vendor rooms were, arguably, 75% 
RDS.  There were some of the old, reliable electronic vendors present, 
however.  Having said all this, it was not a bad fest.  I, too, did not 
return for the Sunday session and have not a clue how that day turned out.
