Goombas,
but I do know the actual numbers and I can tell you it was well over 1,000. In reality, it doesn't matter... the people who came were buying things and that made the vendors happy.
are you one of the promoters how do you know door numbers? Ive spoken to a dozen or so that were there and have heard mixed reveiws
I'm sorry, but this is an entirely false statement. I personally was discussing with Marty about moving the show to (a) new location(s) before his show last summer and he was in full agreement.
thats funny wasnt it last yr he was adding dates on in the venue you claim he wanted to move out of? I can assure he would have never moved that show had he not had to, especially to where he moved it. Anyone thats been around for a while knows Dave(denises brother) tried to do exactly what marty is and the first couple shows were decent then it withered away from there, i was present for all of them
Marty has not done anything intentional to disrupt or hurt any other shows.
well lets see here another lie i seen posted by someone a couple pages back was that marty had ALL of the vendors from hamburg plus news vendors at this show a week or two ago, no and heres were it ties into that qoute because myself and many,many others refused to follow him after seeing his advertisments and speaking to him and him telling people that hamburg in its entirerty was moving, no were did he clarify that all that was moving was him and his dates, yes in doing so he is disrupting and hurting people such as myself who rely on the actual hamburhg show for income, i can tell you for fact there myself and atleast 12 other vendors im good friend with that most likely would have done his show if not for that
keep in mind Marty wants us to support him, this dirty dingy place was good enough all these yrs was good enough for him to ad extra dates on last yr(yr before maybe) it was good enough up until he was pushed out, now all the sudden its this dirty nasty place
I dont wish any bad on anyone but i can tell you from experiance in time that show will burn out. ive watched it happen before, Dave(denises brother for those of you who dont remeber) tried doin exactly this and it failed. Common sense tells you if these new venues were so much nicer n cleaner and all this grand stuff you few r saying and there truely was so many problems with the other venue, all of the vendors would have followed marty, thats not even close to the case, you guys are glorifying minor things for political reasons and truth be told Denise always has and will run a better show, shes the one that gave up money she could have pocketed by knocking rows out for people comfort n safety, not marty, her shows get more people through the door, always have, this is why her shows seem crowded she got how many rows less of tables then marty but yet youd never know because her space is filled with customers??
n she was also the first outta the 2 to open the doors and hr earlier to accomidate the number of customers(actual it was her brother) because the doors used to open at 10am not 9am like they do now
this is why not every single one of us followed marty, you can glorify all you want but when it copmes to caring for vendors and customers alike Denise has always 1st to do everything she can which is proven by the 1000's of dollars shes lost in table sales over the years by knocking rows out for our comfort and saftey, and thats one of many examples of things shes done first for us that guys like myself have seen since i was there, some of which marty followed but he was never the first to give a crap about us, which is a proven fact due to him stuffing as many extra tables in there at the risk of all of us so he could line his pockets
now before you go on n on how you hate it crowded keep this in mind as a customer who has certain vendors you look forward to seeing its the sher number of other customers(fact that its crowded) that keep those vendors you like to see attending the show, on the flip side its the fact some of the high class vendors r there is why you attend, i promise you when some of you get what you want and the isle are easy to walk through and the building is no longer crowded the vendors you look most foward to seeing will no longer be there either, you guys fail to understand what you love most about the shows runs hand in hand
