[Deptheads] Exhibitor Hall request/problem

[Evil5757 at aol.com]

The first year of it's existence I flew up there to advise the new  owners 
to grow Conquest, and we had over 1300 the first year, 1700 the last year  I 
was up there. THAT tells you how bad things are there under Mondo I  guess.

I got  similar info about ConQuest Santa Clara -- between 900 to 1000.  
When  I last went in 2004 it was over 1500 (for those curious, I'm the  
one  that was in their feedback forum where Mondo announced he had   
purchased the con. That was purely a coincidence as I make a habit  of  
attending feedback forums. I was the only one who asked him a lot  of  
questions....) . Last year it was around 1200.

Similar  info on Smackdown -- between 200 to 250 total.
