Last fall was the first time I went to one of Chicago shows.  I had a great time and I really wish I could have made the spring show but work just won't allow it.  censored darn

Anyone else wish they were in Chicago right now and not reading this? tounge


Maybe next year we can hire this guy to walk around with his helmet cam while providing live streaming video of the swap meet!

It's windy and cold here.  I didn't go this morning, but I'll take my kids tomorrow.

My oldest son,Kyle, and I did however hook up with the crew for dinner yesterday.  The table was full.  I joked that they should've rented a hall!!  Had a great time.  A lot of conversations were flowing. 

Just waiting for the official report of treasures bought and any of those I walked by it, turned around, and it was gone stories.  As Maxwell Smart would say "Missed it by that much."

It's windy and cold here. 

It's nice and warm here in my office but I'd still rather be there.  The worst day at a swap meet/ coin op show is still better than best day in an office! happydrinkers

Add me to the list!  I'd much rather be there at the show than here at work!!  I heard from Brian (Seven181) today and it made things even worse...sounds like he made some pretty good finds!  Darn, maybe next year when timing is better!   biggrin

I would kill to be there, I've got to stop by the office tomorrow and get things wraped up
before I take off for my cruise and believe me that is the only thing that is helping
 for this case .

  When Nov. show roles around I will be there , I'll even hound the Michigan Mafia
 to go  (I see a road trip in the future   Cool)
