Im actually not a big fan of conventions. I know some hair system companies do it, they usually do it to promote their business.. But they don't do me any good. I really have no interest in going to any convention.. 90 percent or more of clients and customers are strictly online customers. And if their orders are screwed up or they aren't getting refunds, or if they get crucified on the forums, they really don't care what nice things happen at conventions. I used to try to tell BA that in the most polite way when he talked about all the money he blew at various conventions. I rather a company work harder on providing a good product on time than in person meetings because this is all about hair replacement online.

BA was super nice to a lot of people.. but he was like a double edged sword. I know BA said his brother was sick or died and if that is the case than maybe that had something to do with it. But besides that I always saw the collapse of his company in a very gradual way. People didn't just disappear all at once.. they slowly disappeared one by one till finally the whole company collapsed. He sold Toplace to john, when according to John, left with a huge debt and didn't pay the factories the money.. I am sure this wasn't something overnight... why would he just ditch the company he worked so hard to build. In the end, I think no one truly knows the man or what happened, but I doubt he is the saint people once thought he was... no one really is in this world. Perhaps it could be something even as simple as he wasn't good at business and got into things way over his head. who knows
