    I can sympathize,  we had a similar problem with JCK. We wrote in for
    preregistration for the Vegas show which we attended last year. I am
    a goldsmith and a custom designer of 32 years from Dallas.  I moved
    my shop to my acerage in East Texas. I was refused admission as I did
    not have a retail location anymore and the finished jewelery mfgs
    were fearful of me possibly "ripping off their items" and possibly go
    into competition. I asked the "provincial New yorker" How do you
    account for the fact that I was admitted last year.  Her reply was
    "some THINGS just slip through the cracks. I found it somewhat
    insulting. I'll probably have to slip throught a crack again.
