Seems like there is a lot of immaturity around Amir going. If I were Amir I would go. That show is for grown-ass men and women. No one should be throwing eggs and flour at anyone in the audio industry, that kind of carry on would just make potential buyers/hobbyists turn and run. But just kind of lay low, don't say anything about gear being poor or measuring poorly whatever. Just go, see what your eyes and ears like, see what you might like to get your hands on in the future.
Some vendors would get shaky perhaps when they see Amir, I would too - But that still cant stop me from letting him try the gear and have an opinion. That's the nature of this beast, someone gets a bit of internet clout either by posting measurements or poetically worded reviews and the result can make vendors products boom or bust. There's always going to be left and right brained people, and there's always going to be products for left and right brained people. If you are a vendor just choose your audience wisely.
If you were a vendor reading this, and turned down Amir at the show, you would be a right Jack-Ass.
p.s. the panther stickers is an awesome idea, but it could be the match to the hay-bail. On the other hand, reviewers are always putting their "Product of canjam" trophies on things and taking pictures. So why couldn't Amir have a sticker for something to say "Looks well engineered" or something like that.
