I think its pretty fair considering SIGGRAPH is a non-profit, and the
Tech Circus is a for-profit company putting on a show that's supposed
to be so good its going to tour around the country. This weekend's
event would represent a great effort if it had been organized and put
on by a cash-strapped user's group. The fact is it was put on and
backed by a deep pockets, for-profit company.
You only have to compare it with the circus put on at JavaOne
conference for comparison. The JavaOne circus had a live band, circus
performers, a climbing wall, dozens of cool games to play, great food,
etc. And that was in addition to the great talks, expansive vendor
exhibits, Java training courses, concerts, parties, etc.
