I think that that's probably a different form of registration, though I don't
know for sure.  WB and the like would be exhibitors, wouldn't they?

As for selling everything, I don't see any indication that they're not selling
out completely.  Last year they did hold some auctions for memberships of
various types just before the show that I figured were refunded memberships.

Guess I'm just not a dedicated enough con-goer.  I want to at least see a
sampling of guests before I book airfare across the country.  Especially for
something over half a year away.  What's next?  They'll start selling 2011
memberships as soon as 2010 sells out?
