[LOADS_of_KY_fun]

a friend (sonar user) and i traded off and attended the events of the other. the sonar event was first, but appeared well executed/planned/rehearsed/prepared. i've not used sonar but i still learned something. the digidesign event followed, and both of us were disappointed. i really learned nothing, and in the one or two moments that the rep incorrectly answered the questions, i kept my silence. i consider myself a novice, but after seeing the fellow attendees i started to feel rather advanced. (thanks, duc!) the sonar event had special offers on the items demo'd, so i showed up at the digi event with credit card in hand and ready to spend alot of money on waves. good thing they weren't selling at the show.

this was my first digidesign event and my expectations were higher than what was delivered. i agree with froyo and hope that something positive can come out of alerting digidesign to the disappointments of the tour.
