THIS ISSUE
NEW YEAR REVOLUTION
Convention dictates that at this point in the month it’s
generally too late to still be wishing people a Happy
New Year, but we mavericks here at the epicentre of the
AV and CI newsgathering, manhandling and emitting
world that is SVI say “The Devil with convention”! So
a very happy New Year to you, our beloved readers;
without whom I’d be merely typing this to myself, as
though I’d developed some kind of terrible narcissistic neuropsychosis – which
is why I thank the gods of ABC every issue for the comforting confirmation of
both audience and sanity!
And speaking of madness, welcome to the SVI January Issue January
Sale! The issue into which everything must go, hence why we’ve upped the
pagination to bumper proportions and still buckled the binding staples in our
bid to funnel the almost overwhelming fact-flow into its pages.
As a result, amongst the myriad delights in this mammoth magazine, we
have an extensive overview of what to see at the forthcoming ISE, picking out
the essential exhibitors to examine and pinpointing their position to save your
poor feet, alongside searing industry insight from the very best in the business,
a compilation of the hottest Home Automation kit, a whole mess of means to
Multi-Room media manipulation, and all the usual knowledge-nourishing news,
views and interviews.
Naturally, myself and my beauteous twin-headed work-wife, Bontell, will
be taking our usual place at Amsterdam’s RAI for the show’s duration, featuring
at the furthest point from human habitation in the mythical Hall of Vagueness’
disused toilets, third locked stall on the left with the sign on the door saying
‘Beware of the Leopard’; or Stand 7-T174 if you prefer. So please come along
to say hello, preferably bearing strong coffee and hot food.
Until then indulge your oculars in this audacious industry action-packed
issue and if we don’t see you in the Dam, we’ll see you back here for your next
serving of SVI on February 21st.
