You'll all just have to come up to the Philly show next year... I don't think there's anything else in the US that's on this scale. Cleveland does a very nice home & garden show, and there are lots of smaller ones around the country, so I'm not saying it's Philly or nothing... but I think everybody should try to get to the Philly show at least once in their lifetime.
You just can't see everything in the show in one day... or if you do, it's rush rush with no time to enjoy what you're seeing. It's fortunate that my friend Terri & I have the same approach -- we'd rather browse through a lot of it than try to rush through all of it. We also spent a good bit of time in the vendor booths, many of which are exhibits in their own right.
