AmiExpo California is now in the history books. It was a terrific show.
Joe Lowery, AMI Shows' head guy, at a post-show press conference
said attendance was something in the neighborhood of 12,000+ for the
three day event.  Moving the venue out of Downtown L.A. (where the last
two So. Calif. AmiExpos were held) had a lot to do with this. 

This was also the last AmiExpo.  ("huh? What?")

As per a press release issued by Erich Stein & Associates, AMI Shows'
PR guy, and announcements at the show itself, the name has now been
changed from AmiExpo to AmigaWorld Expo.  Their 1991 American show
schedule looks like this:

AmigaWorld Expo New York - March 15-17, 1991, New York Hilton &
 Towers at Rockefeller Center in Manhattan

AmigaWorld Expo Florida - July 26-28, 1991, Stouffer Orlando Resort 
 at Seaworld, Orlando

AmigaWorld Expo California - October 4-6, 1991, Oakland Convention
 Center, Oakland.

Okay.. so, hey Commodore... give this schedule to whoever you have
there who is involved with scheduling World of Amiga shows and just
pin it up on your cork board and refer to it from time to time and try
yer best not to schedule a WOA show at the same time as an AmigaWorld
Expo, okay? Simultaneous shows (as happend this past weekend) don't do
anyone any good. Oh, and by the way, what was the WOA Chicago total
attendance?
