Anyone going?
Anyone from here have a booth?
Last year was so much fun - as a fledgling business I was able to get a ton of info from speaking to manufacturers, co-packers, hot sauce guys, and more.
And for $35 it was an awesome value - I drank beer from about 12 countries, ate my weight in gourmet cheese, snacks, candy, chocolate, pasta, prepared foods, olives, pickles, smoked meats, etc, etc, etc. I also went home with a huge bag of samples of everything from olive oils to hot sauce to candied ginger to beef jerky. And I had a really, really good time. This year I'll be going with several friends which will be an even better experience.
The show took up 2 full halls at the Moscone Center, which is a pretty large chunk of real estate!
If you're considering attending, here's the link:

You may still be able to get an advanced ticket to save some $ (It was $25 a couple months ago when I bought tix, it was $35 when i purchased a week before the show last year and I think it's $60 at the show, so definitely buy on-line if you can!)
I am in no way affiliated with this show, nor do I make money from you buying a ticket. Just sharing the link as I think it's a terrific event for anyone who loves gourmet food. While hot peppers are not the focal point of the show I think there were 7-8 hot sauce vendors there last year, and quite a few products with hot peppers in 'em.
