<p>Jan's calling 'em like see sees 'em! Go Jan!!!</p>
<p>I was amazed and humbled by the support of the knife community over TableGate -- pretty awesome to know that folks in all parts of the knife community will stand up and put in a good word for you when something isn't right.</p>
<p>Both the Blade Show and Blade Magazine were sold just before the show opened, so there's a new sheriff in town. I've been assured that I'll be allowed space at next year's show so we'll see how that shakes out.…</p>

I've been assured that I'll be allowed space at next year's show so we'll see how that shakes out. The new owners are the publishers of Gun Digest, and while they're obviously interested in making a profit they seem like a much better fit than previous owners F&W Media. I wish them well and hope to connect with them soon as we were unable to find each other at the show.

<p>JJ,</p>
<p>Next month when the new Sharper Life comes out I will get you a link to it. I actually wrote an article on the shows in it. It seems to be a rinse and repeat situation, less people attending, raise the prices but they always do come around to focusing on the vendors and the collectors visiting the show</p>

<p>That's pretty much what seems to be happening at the local shows as well, Jan. The local venues are getting smaller because the event centers are raising prices, just because they can.</p>
<p>What they did to Mark is nuts.</p>
<p>Let the attendance drop for a year or two...knowing the owners, they'd raise the prices before they'd address the issues.</p>
