Yeah 2010/2011 was when the show bottomed out. I really thought it was all over. It was a "transitional year" I guess as the new owners had just taken over.
But as I said earlier...last year (2012 show) it really turned around.
This year I would say is at least 30% better than last year. Even the little "show floor" is starting to get a little bit bigger.
It's almost an exact mirror image of the industry.
Shit hit the fan in 2009...dropped to the floor in 2010...stopped bleeding in 2011...and now is slowly growing again for 2012 and 2013.
It's an encouraging sign for all of us who have bee weathering the storm.
