Well, I don't think there is any question for us about	whether it was
worth it.... but, I will admit that the ratio of expenses-to-turnover
for
the day is certainly greater (ie worse) than many other shows. Still,
one
day at Salute is worth about the same to us as a month's mailorder!!

We always dread the approach of Salute, but in the end anticipation
always
turns out to be much worse than realisation - yes, it may be incredibly
busy, but it all runs so smoothly despite that. All kudos and thanks to
the
Warlords for their amazing organisational effort. In some ways, it's all
quite fun really.....  ;-)
