Amazing Show History

It is 2011, it has been 10 years since we have built Amazing Show and has lasted more years than what most were not expecting. I am saddened because we are all supposedly happy for this year and yet most are not. We have had turbulent times before, but none as turbulent as we are at the present and the reasons are not clear.

Most of the people here are those without the institutional memory of how we came about and how we thrived and flourished over the years. I wanted to make a reunion of the original people who built this place and this company through sheer perseverance despite the odds we've encountered. I wanted a happy anniversary...
