It probably was Gene. I have selective memory and a tendency to distort reality to fit my ego satisfying needs. I guess we all do so I shouldn't feel so bad.

I often asked myself: "Why do you keep buying more headphones?" Now I know the answer: "[E]ventually the ear needs a new electro mechanical stimulus." Thanks WarriorAnt. I needed that!

We will have a CanJam Dynasty instead of a series of yearly events. This year's organizer's should feel free to call it what they wish, but organizers of future events should be allowed the freedom to do as they wish with the event title.
I am in agreement with immtbiker on this,it will become like CES every year.

Well, I guess the question is what should be remembered, the city, the event, or both?

I like the show brand idea. They have annual CES, THE, RMAF and VSAC. Soon people will recognize head-fi show, what ever the name is. Jude, you might want go register the trade mark :-).

Cheers ... Ping

Yes, except we're not going to have it in the same damned city every freaking year.
