For some unfathomable reason, the exhibitor list for this coming weekend’s Alternative Press Expo in San Francisco doesn’t include a single link back to the exhibitor’s home page. So, as a service to you (and so we know what and who to expect when Pink Raygun makes the trek to San Francisco), all this week Pink Raygun will be re-listing each of the 304 named exhibitors. Not everyone has a homepage that we could find. We’ll let you know that. We also couldn’t always determine the correct website for a particular exhibitor. We’ll let you know that, too.
If anyone has any information about missing or wrongly linked websites, please, let us know. You can either post your corrections in the comment space below, or you can email me directly at john@pinkraygun.com
