Default Seattle Bicycle Expo - any good?

Seattle Bicycle Expo (Smith Cove Cruise Terminal 91 in Magnolia Saturday,
March 12 and Sunday, March 13) is billed as the largest consumer bicycle
show in the United States?

Any one attended this show in the past?

I've been to the past 6 or 7...Whether it's "good" depends on what
you're looking for. Lots of shops blowing out clothes, shoes and
acessories. Lots of custom builders. Lots of inventors selling their
gadgety gimmicks directly. Lots of tour operators. Last year, I
enjoyed the presentation by Ken Taylor, brother and business partner
of Jack Taylor, talking about racing and framebuilding in England from
the '40s through today.

They used to do it in one of the hangars at Magnuson Park (the former
Sandpoint Naval Air Station), but the new venue at the Magnolia Cruise
Terminal is very nice.
