This year(2015) was absolutely terrible. Worst show yet. There were no vendors to buy things from really, the ones that you did have, had a lot of attitude and were generally unpleasant. It seemed like there was more focus on Internet models, and bars. Versus actual shopping /learning content. I was hoping to see NorthBoundLeather. And they weren’t there. I bought a nylon flogger from Aslan leather and the same night it was broken, a flail came loose. After spending $ 110 on it, I didn’t think it would break the same damn night. That aside, $ 25 to get in? Are you mental? For what? To pay for alcohol & watch topless Internet models? Wtf? So $ 50 for my fiancé & I. Plus the $ 14 parking, $ 64 before we even buy lunch or anything. It was a very overpriced and shitty day. Oh! And the lectures! The speaker systems were so terrible that we couldn’t even stand to try listen to the lectures, due to the feedback on the speakers. Cary gray was the only one that didn’t seem to set that off, and his first demo on Sunday was spanking, only 5mins long, but good. So we waited around bored for his second demo on bondage, oh wait! Nope! He just repeated the same spanking one over again! And that was the last straw. When we are bored as fuck waiting around because there is nothing to do, and then he can’t even be bothered to follow the program… Adds insult to injury. We promptly left. I will never be coming back, I am saddened that you conned me out of that much money, and provided a less than worthy experience. Back in the day the ETDWSS was so much fun, great people, awesome vendors, just a blast to attend. But now? It’s a sad excuse for an Internet model bar. And one you have to pay $ 25 cover? Fuck off. but hey that’s just my opinion
