If you're an Interex member, then it is your money!
(Even if you don't go to the show.)

Well, I'm not going...so Interex won't have to hear my usual
poorly-answered-by-them complaints:

   - overly loud music in the "mixers"/"parties", preventing
     conversation (which is, after all, one of the primary
     reasons for going to a conference: to *talk*);

   - people smoking in the no-smoking vendor area during setup;
     (hey: the universe sometimes works well: one of the
     worst offenders was the late Hardwarehouse :)

   - loud music/speakers/etc (amplified sound) coming from
     some vendor's booths at the vendor show.

Does Interex care about those things?  Not in the least.

Do they care that I'm not going?  Heck...they're probably ecstatic :)
