I don't know if this belongs in General Discussions or somewhere in Community, but... In the past year I've gotten numerous queries by people wanting to see some of my MOCs in person. They ask if I'm going to be at this show or that expo and, up to now, my answer has always been 'no' because attending would involve air travel and trusting my MOCs to either postal services or baggage handlers. This year, however, there's going to be a show (Brickfair New England) happening about an hours drive from my house so the question of getting me or my MOCs there really isn't an issue. It did, however, get me thinking about all the other issues of attending such an event as an exhibitor. I'm not a member of any LUG and, while I've dropped in on a couple events from time to time, I've never been on the other side of the table before. I'm trying to decide if I should give it a go, but I don't even know if I'm asking myself the right questions. SO, I thought I'd see if there were any experienced exhibitors out there willing to share their war stories. What is it like behind the scenes? Have you had issues with damage or theft? Are there (general) logistical issues to consider when planning to attend a show as an exhibitor? Have you ever regretted bringing (or not bringing) MOCs to an event? Did you have fun? I'll probably be _attending_ the event in any case, I could just use a bit more insight to help me decide if I want to be more than just a spectator.
