Jimmie I just saw your post and I agree with you (and oh by the way it was great meeting you last weekend!)

Mike- Me and my 6 year old son had a blast and he wouldn't want to miss one for the world. We went in with a positive attitude and left feeling even better. For me it was a truely great experience to meet new people from this chat site and that was by far and away the best part of the weekend. Without these relationships that I've formed maybe I would feel the way you do about it. There were a lot of people there that didn't compete in the tourney so if the tourney had 56 people, I'd say there was at least 100 there to visit the convention, but you're right people often times were scattered all around. You point out several Miggle convention issues that were disappointing to the miniature football enthusiast (lack of other vendors, no credit card usage, and possibly a meet and greet session for all attending, etc.) but in the end I was very happy because of the fellowship. I'd travel hundreds of miles anytime to be in the presence of my electric football brothers. I think your concerns about whether Miggle has done enough to promote the hobby (their business) is not new and I'm guessing that view is shared by others. However it would be hard for me to criticize them for the convention they put on (FOR US). I give them an A, and I thank them for giving it to us.
