    Whoever decided that the aa swap should be a month BEFORE the Lansing swap was not thinking about vendors. I mean who is going to go to Lansing after they blow their wad of coral cash in aa? Really....nothing like giving a vendor from out of state or national vendor a good reason to jump ship from attending the Lansing swap since I am pretty sure there will be fewer attendees than in the past now.

    Don't see why you are upset?

    You say people will not come but this year but...

    1. Dayton and Columbus were Only 3 Weeks Apart instead of 4 like Lansing and Ann Arbor.
    2. Dayton and Columbus are Closer in Proximity than Ann Arbor and Lansing too.
    2. All the Same Vendors showed up for Both Shows and I didn't hear any complaints.
    4. Both Shows had record turnouts in terms of attendance.

    Last Year there were Record Numbers for Both Shows (Ann Arbor and Lansing).

    This Year those Numbers will be Broken Again.

    I Promise

    P.S. Ann Arbor is usually about a month after Lansing anyways.

    So before or after why does it matter?

    People in the Lansing Area will go to Lansing.

    People in the Ann Arbor Area will got to Ann Arbor.

    And Hardcore people like me will go to both because we NEVER miss a swap.

    If they were a week apart I would still go to both

    I picked the date. If any Lansing vendors want a refund, I can make it happen.

    While I understand your point, Ann Arbor was a month after Lansing in the past. Regionally, there are several swaps each month in the winter months.
