NAB Show in Las Vegas

Hello, all!
For the first time, I will be in Las Vegas this year for NAB. I will be there with Luken Communications, who is exhibiting there for the first time this year, so my visit won't be the only first. =) I suspect I will be away from the booth much of the time, between meeting with vendors and trying to find people who I already know will be there.
Are there any users of RabbitEars who will be in Las Vegas for it? Can't promise anything regarding my availability outside of the show floor, but I would love to meet many people, both those who use RabbitEars and those who send me the data and updates that make RabbitEars possible.
I am very much looking forward to this show!
EDIT: One important note, for those who may not know me too well, the name "Trip Ericson" is a pseudonym. Confusingly, Luken Communications has hired a new Director of Sales, who will be at NAB, whose real name actually is Tripp. My real first name is Mark, and as such if you come to the booth looking for me, that is who to ask for, not "Trip." I hope to have a RabbitEars button or tag to pin to my shirt in time for NAB which should make me easier to identify.

VERY GOOD! ARE YOU GOING TO SAY US WHAT'S THE HENRY LUKEN' S BIG SURPRISE FOR THE END OF THIS YEAR OR BEGINING OF NEXT?
Hello from Kevin Parrish @ NBC... I'll be attending NAB and will put this exhiitor / booth on my list and look forward to a possible meeting to say hello. KP
I'll be there, at the Mobile DTV section. Will drop by the Luken booth. --AS
Take it from someone who's worked with an exhibitor before and attended with my employer -- **WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES!**
As an exhibitor you'll probably be spending long hours standing around your booth. Depending on your duties, you're either waiting for a potential customer to come along & ask questions, or you're waiting for part of your demo to break down & require rapid repair. Either way, standing for hours can be painful!
As a regular attendee... the LVCC is HUGE. You'll be doing a LOT of walking to visit every exhibitor/demo you need to see, and that's assuming you only visit those that are relevant to your job. Add a bit of extracurricular curiousity (no, not *that* kind) and you add another mile or two of hiking.
So just to emphasize it again, **WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES**!
