Here's a tip too. When I went to my first show, I printed the vendor list (Joanna provided the link in her first post here), then I went to the Fauna BOI here: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...splay.php?f=13
I used the search function (at the top of the page) and looked for threads on each of the vendors. I highlighted the ones that had positive reviews and took the list with me. The highlighted vendors were the only ones I would consider buying from. I think I had 5 names highlighted after I went through the whole list.
