I think the list of (goofy) hashtags is bigger than that room.

Yep, not a great venue to have held this at. Many exhibitors are in similar rooms. :eyes: You'd be a fool to not have brought earplugs to this "musical extravaganza".

And, of course, ear plugs are the very BEST way to tell whether you like an instrument.

Speaking of those two states, some years ago there was an IHS workshop in Kalamazoo, and what I remember most is lying on the grass in the sun in the summer and thinking how incredibly wonderful it was to be able to do that without roasting, given there is no grass here and summer is not a time when you even want to be in the sun. I even considered moving there. Even though we have not yet hit full blast furnace heat here yet, I doubt many are lying in the grass in Phx in the sun right now.

That looks horrible!

Whoever planned that space for tuba samples should never be allowed to do anything like that ever again (ie. Fired/blacklisted)!

Funny thing; I was just looking at this ( https://us.wessex-tubas.com/pages/chicago-showroom ) the other day. And thinking, "how can i con my wife into going to chicago" .......

Would that be considered 'suicide by wife'....?
