Shamus blamed economic conditions for the decision to postpone the Los Angeles event and cancel the Texas show noting: “With what’s going on in the economy it just makes sense to make this move.  We want to provide our customers with the best possible show and we feel we can do that by concentrating all our efforts and resources on the Philly and Chicago shows, which are going to be better than ever.”
