Comments
To my mind, this doesn't seem like the kind of show that needs to extend its deadline.
No, Richard. This is the original date that they sent me back in the fall for a deadline. They did not extend. I met the show directors at the Zapp conference in October. Being from the Midwest I didn't know much about this show, then found out that some of my Michigan friends have been slipping out there to do that show. Hmmm...
It really sounds like a good show.
