Summary: Whats the use of Dallas (no offense to Dallations?)

My observations on your observations:

1. They're really pushing the limit, Boston/Dallas/San Francisco wise.
   Two a year- far east/far west is plenty from most user points of view.
   ( Though geographically, a pain for some.  Which Expo do most users in
     North Dakota go to? Now there's a question.  Or better yet, is anyone
     in North Dakota?  Must be, I saw a funny signature line from there
     the other day. )

2. The Dallas show is a staging area, a dry-run if you will, for the BIG
   show in S.F..  A chance to test run and get your act together.  The
   "major players" you mentioned as missing have been to a few shows and
   have their act together.  They're just sitting back and waiting for
   January.  A show that I'm sure makes a good return on investment.
