I think glorious is a bit overstating it. Especially when you consider that I can also be seen filming in this picture, but I'm smart enough to sit down and do it.

Let's see if we can get Dave to post a picture of the cool shirt he got from ZFX (but it wasn't available to everyone).
I agree with Gaff as this year the show was quite reduced. I have been to LDI every year for the last 8 or 9 years. This year was the worst Ive seen yet. I went to the meeting with LVCC, Live Design International (LDI), GES and IATSE. We expressed our concerns with the show and as an exhibitor our financial impact. This year the union was obviously hurting as they did not let anyone touch anything above shoulder height and did not allow any assembly of anything. Now, in case you dont know, we pay a rate of $102.50 per worker/per hour, of which they get just under $25.00 of that. Booths like Martin, Clay Paky, ROBE, ETC, and Chauvet have BIG booths. Load in was Monday and we ended up needing 4-6 union workers 10 hours a day for 4 days. BTW Time and a half after 8 hours, which is only seven because of an hour lunch... By the end of the show we were in over 175k. Thats a lot of lights to sell to break even. Overall we came out with some reduced rates and a discounts next year ( In Las Vegas again) so I guess it worked out. If anyone couldn't attend and would like some swag, PM me and Ill see what I can do.
Perhaps the North Hall's lower ceiling, and lack of mega-booths, contributed. I don't think ANY exhibitor had a larger booth this time than in 2010.
