 I just got an email. I had a feeling this was going to happen. Also, according to that email there will be no RMAF in the future. It's over, permanently.

 Gary is correct, RMAF is no more.

As harsh a news as this is, it is really for the best. My wife and I, especially my wife, is and has been friends with Marjorie and Al for 18+ years. RMAF was taking a rather large toll on her. Trying to keep Al's vision alive was flat out wearing her down. It is blow for audio community, but for 12 years, she has been working tirelessly to keep that vision going and she deserves to look back and be ever so proud of what she did. RMAf was the standard for how a show should be run, which spawned a whole new generation of audio shows. Her legacy is set, let's let her enjoy it.

Letter went out today to exhibitors to let them know about the permanent shut down, as well as to inform them that all deposits will be refunded in the next 7-10 days.

 Covid is smarter than man in every way.

That's too bad that the show is no more. I enjoyed many of the earlier shows at the Marriott in the Denver Tech Center area.

 As what someone else here stated, I had a feeling this was going to happen.....

Hopefully, someone else will take up the slack..... At least I was able to go to it once, in 2018.... Really enjoyed it.

 Scared me for a minute there: I thought the Royal Malaysian Air Force was cancelled.

The issues with this crumbling hobby are generational, if my family is an indicator.

It is too bad for those who have worked to build up these events over the years.

 If you went in 2018, that was the last downtown show. 2019 was the first year at the Gaylord, and then the 2020 cancellation and now this. RMAF will be missed. I'm impressed she kept it going this long.

 understandable with two years of planning and then cancelations. I am guessing there is a lot of work that goes into the process before it takes place.

 Lots of it, I'm guessing. And now with no return.


First they came for the dumb-asses
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a dumb-ass

 

Grateful Dead, too. See the irony? Nt, posted on September 3, 2021 at 10:09:46
