Dunno...makes sense to me.  Given the number of questions I've some people ask about sartorial matters vendor fatigue seems like it would be a very real possibility.

Am I missing something?  What is the big deal about the SF show when anyone can go to NYC on their own to see Carl Goldberg, Jon Green, and if you time it around Tony Gaziano's upcoming visit to NYC, you can see them all in one day.  Additionally, the thought of a group of dudes flying in from all parts and getting dressed up basically to meet each other and check each other out is disconcerting.

A guy I know had accidentally met a group of well-known forumites at my tailor and he described the experience as surreal.  They were undressing him with their eyes, asking him about nearly every visible article of clothing he was wearing: "One guy was heard to ask,"Oooh, are those your new Cleverleys?" It was like a pack of dogs sniffing one another for the first time.
