David, Let me just say you are either very naive or an idiot; probably both. Not about TDI? You obviously don't know Gilliam very well. Things got rushed? You gotta be kidding me. If it had been about things getting rushed, they could have dropped the "Spare Air" booth or the "Scuda" booth. Leaving JJ, GUE and the WKPP out of a tech show kind of defeats the point of having a tech show, now doesn't it? If stories is what you want, Gilliam is your man. If you want to learn about how to tech dive, well, you really are going to be wasting your time and money.
