MIDO 09

Just a few sentences about the last MIDO. Last year MIDO management announced that the MIDO show will take place in March instead of May which was a traditional date for MIDO since many years. 

We were thinking if we should go and exhibit, but our decision was: no. There are a couple of reasons that created our decision but I want to talk about one of them:

They proudly announced that the show is held together with the fur fashion exhibition! What the hell? Who wears fur?? Everybody knows that animals get killed cruently just for people without taste to show how much money they have....wake up guys, this is disgusting. So we are not supporting this with our money and exhibit just a hall away from the animal-murder show.

I hope the MIDO management will wake up and go back to its roots...a nice eyewear show in a nice month.

Anyway....we visited MIDO on saturday and saw what we expected to see: Empty halls. Obviously not many opticians have time or motivation to buy frames in March....i know the MIDO as a full and good show when it took place in May. But..this gave us time to see some of our buddies there and chat about this and that.
