I will be there November too! Maybe we could have a mini-meet this November.
But anyone going this weekend hope you can post images in the gallery...

Not going this time either. I'm planning on going to the November show. Not enough cash this time and I have Navy Reserve stuff this weekend so it made the decision even easier!

I was planning on going as I have for the last few years with a buddy who sets up a booth.
Plans just changed and I won't be making the trip.... But November sounds good... I like the idea of setting up a time to meet since I haven't met anyone in person yet, and only talked to Markito on the phone...

Is November better than April???
Might try really hard and earn extra brownie points and get that magic pass for November...

Eric -
That sounds like an awesome idea. The last time (my first time!) Myself and Mcarter showed up on late Wednesday to do some stuff in Chicago and then caught the last hour of the Kane County Show. On Thursday we spent a better part of the morning at the Kane County Show and then went to Home Arcade Corp in Lisle. Friday morning we were up bright and early (5 am) and were over to the Pheasant Run Parking lot.
So, I think setting a pre-determined time/place is a great idea. Maybe if a bunch or all of us make it up/down there on Thursday, we could all get together for dinner and then on Friday we can meet up someplace at the show to swap stories or share any neat stuff we've bought or come across.

Were you the guys that bought the Pepsi Heinz cooler?.... We probably walked past each other all morning long..... I think we even took some of the same pictures I did in the gallery...
Sounds good to me... We could even help each other load up all the great scores we find on the lot!
ok... now I'm dreaming! a Pepsi 88 for $950!!!! Nesbitt's Slider for $450!!!!!... Hope that happens again this time around I'll be ready then.....

At home! I live about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away.
Looks like it's Nov. 10, 11 & 12. I hope I can make the November one (I'll have a big reunion some weekend in November '06) |

Party is at Brents house then :-) Kidding aside it doesn't cost that much to grab a suite at a motel. Just need to know what motel works best for all and then we would have strike base to work from. Over the years I've spent days at the O'Hare airport but know nothing of the Chicago area.
Thanks,
Creighton

If you book early enough... rooms at the pheasant inn are only about 79 a night... and I agree.. if you go get there Thursday (Wednesday if you want to check out the Kane show) but the place to be is in the lot at 5am Friday Morning! It's well worth it...
here is a picture the booth I had down there two years back with a buddy of mine.

Eric - Yep! We probably did pass by each other a few times! My friend Harrison was the one that got (stole!)that Pepsi Heintz cooler.
This year we'll make sure that won't happen. We have enough lead time to set this whole shindig up right to where we could have a ton of SMC members.

Man what a awesome cooler... I walked past that a dozen times and didn't even ask
about a price... just figured it would be too high! Never again! What was I thinking (Obviously I wasn't)
Just wasn't meant to be and it got a good home... Has he done anything with it yet?
Would love to see that one restored.
Yep!... Let's all that are gonna go in November pick a time and place and meet up!
So start saving now (unless of course a killer machine pops up that you can't live without '> )

Nice Trashcan juke behind that cooler.
Kinda looks like the Beverly Hillbillies' truck, but with really cool stuff in it!

Quick on the trigger is key... and Cash in Hand (visible) helps... some of those guys are looking to unload early and get back on the road by Noon I found out as I missed out on a few deals like that too with a V56-RT last year

Welp, as it stands, I guess I made a good choice not going this year. Here in Southern Indiana we got lit up with about 4 hours of heavy rain starting at about 4am. I can just imagine what it was like at 5am at the show!

We lucked out up here. We got a light drizzle here in NW Indiana, and it looks like they only got a tenth of an inch overnight at St. Charles: NWS data

Just got back from the show. I took some pictures and I'll upload them later this weekend.
Pretty decent show. There seemed to be a lot more soda machines, arcade games and jukeboxes than usual and not as many parts dealers. Prices were a little high, even for the project machines. Nothing really stood out for me. All I got was some soda (5 cases) and a few 45's. My friend got a Pepsi menu board (and some soda). Overall, a pretty good day (even with the Chicago construction traffic!).
