… and these are the days of our show lives…

OK.

The show reports kind of take on a life of their own, and this one is shaping up thus:

I will post about a weeks worth of photos and commentary here on the blog. I think I will try to keep the multiple-angle shots down to a low roar here on the blog [I tried to provide complete coverage of as many components as possible for the Gallery Database – when you are interested in a specific component, you want to see ALL the angles!].

I will then cross-post that weeks worth of photos and commentary in the Gallery version of the show report with its more impressive full-window-sized photos as well as an index so that a person can actually find specific rooms without having to use Google.

Then I will resume the show reportage here on the blog for another week… and so on and so forth.

Make sense?

Comments? Suggestions?

I am putting up the report for each room in the order that I encountered it at the show. First floor 29, then some of 30, then up to 34 and 35, then, I think, part of THE Show, the rest of 30 – and finally with the last of THE Show [essentially the long hallway on floor 4].

I did miss a few rooms: Avantgarde, Soundlab, Golden Ear, Harmon, and a couple others not as well known. Hopefully they are all that I missed – maybe 6-8 rooms. VTL did not let me in their room – either because they were talking super secret business [with their door still ajar] or whatever. A couple of other rooms had their doors locked [sometimes this happens by accident, sometimes because I got there right at closing, sometimes because they just didn’t make it to the show] – I went back to a few of these and did get photos of Chapman and another whose name does not immediately come to mind.
