For those of you who were fortunate to attend the Chicago Show, how was it?  I wish I could have gone, but my work schedule wouldn't allow it (this year anyways!)  I bet it was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones...Any great stories, cool machines, or items of interest that you can share with us?  Inquiring minds want to know!

HA...you are all wrong! The show was last weekend....I drove up and found a whole trailer full of deals...4-5 RC81's for $300, a couple of Victor Kooler Grills for next to nothing and a car load of signs.

Oh....my kid just woke me up...it was all a dream!!  down  down

Hope you guys have a lot of fun! All the rest of us will be waiting patiently by our computer for pics or (like Glen said) a video of the show, the Portillo's get together or both.

Had hoped to make a last second run out to the Windy City but unfortunately a good friend of mine lost his mother this past weekend and the funeral is this Friday.

Pick up a few of those $150 Vendo 44's for me--you know I'm good for the money!

Jim,

The Chicago Gameroom Show on the 10th & 11th is also known as the "Kane County Show" due to it's location at the Kane County Fairgrounds. It's about a 15 minute drive from the Chicagoland Show.

When you say "unconfirmed", what exactly do you mean?

I heard Active Directors are required to review every purchase and get first refusal on them. Sure you won't change your mind John?
