Define "Flopped"
Attendance for SeaMax was approximately 1/3 of the attendance of either SoCal show at the time (2011)
The Greater Seattle/Tacoma/Bellevue area is approximately 1/6 the size of greater LA/Orange Counties.
This ratio from a promotional standpoint is definitely a positive one.

The only reason we haven't repeated SeaMAX is that the COSTS of moving men/machine/materials over 1,000 miles and sustaining the show is approximately double that of putting on a MAX event. The fact that Seattle is a union town doesn't help either.
It just doesn't make economic sense unfortunately. Personally I love the Seattle area and would love to do another SEAMAX if there were a financially feasible way to do it.
Your excuses are insufficient! Store all of the event equipment at my house and host it up here again!

I was sooooooooo looking forward to going this year but I don't know when my new tank is going to be ready. I thought I would be all switched over to the new tank and be able to load up on pretty corals at rap. I'm so sad now :(
