Title: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: SIGNGUY on September 27, 2011, 01:42:40 pm Hello all,
It's only over a month away, but figured start the official Chicago Show thread.. Mainly just to let you know that did go ahead and book the room at Portillo's as it was nice Last November to have that private room. The room charge was $108.00 with tax and we have it starting at 6pm. I'd ask for anyone joining us that night for 5 bucks toward the rental of the room. (dinner is a counter style service for those who haven't been there) so you just order what you want and bring it into the room. So I hope I'm not the only one going ... who else is coming!?? should be fun once again! Would be fun to see some new faces too.. Jim? Glen?, Tom? , Ron?, Joey?, etc... :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Eric on September 27, 2011, 06:40:14 pm Hey John... wife and I will be there... This really has become the best part for us... hope to see
all the regulars and some new folks! Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Ken R on September 27, 2011, 08:05:23 pm Wish I could go, but I don't think my work schedule is going to permit it. :down:
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: TomFromJersey on September 28, 2011, 08:44:29 pm I'll be there....with my friend Carl. I'm sure that Neil and Terrance will be there also.
TFJ Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Pat Pixley on September 28, 2011, 08:54:32 pm I'll be there 8)
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: SIGNGUY on September 29, 2011, 08:38:38 am Pat,
Does the smiley with glasses on mean you'll be lurking in the shadows are just cool? I'd hope you'lll be there as I believe you'll have something for me? :biggrin: Loook forward to seeing everyone! Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Pat Pixley on September 29, 2011, 09:24:25 am Yeah I think I be picking it up this weekend from Kilroy .
Just to be there low key and to meet people and chat it up with the crew. 8) Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Funtronics on September 29, 2011, 10:03:51 am Janet and I will be there for sure. :drinking:
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: BONOVOX on September 29, 2011, 02:14:02 pm Ill be at the show, but leaving my house after work Thursday at 6pm... 8hr drive from here, with gas stops and such, hope to be there for 5am on Friday! Shop till I drop and then make the drive back to be home to put the kids to bed :Oo: is what I'll be lookin like after all that lol
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: dr galaga on September 29, 2011, 06:00:52 pm Not sure if I am heading over to the show this time. My old high school radio station, where I spent 4 years as a students and 15 years running it, is having a 35 year "reunion" that weekend.
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: MCarter on September 29, 2011, 06:01:56 pm I will be there with Harrison. Are we going to bring soda from our area to pass around? I know we talked about it. If so i will bring some Dad's root beer in glass if we are.
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Slider-Bob on September 29, 2011, 08:05:35 pm I'm still on the fence if I'm going. It's TBD for now. Pat P generously offered a ride with him if any of the Michigan Mafia wanted to make the trip with him (and I would gladly contribute to the travel costs) and John (Sign Guy) offered to split his expenses for the outside parking lot sales on Friday that required the dealer permit to sell in parking lot area. I have numerous sliders that I may offer for sale, along with that Transitional Faygo VMC 81 mentioned in previous posts. I'd really like to go as I've never been there, but I'm not sure if I want to just go as a buyer (with Pat P) or as both as buyer/seller on my own. I can haul my stuff down there if I decide to sell...I'm just not sure yet if that's the route I want to go with (sell vs. buy). I think I'll decide as the date draws closer, where I can see what I still have for sale and if I can make the trip. I had 3 emails today from people wanting coin boxes, racks, cap catchers and side doors for sliders. At this rate, I may not have much to sell by the time November rolls around. I just want to go really bad to meet other members, to take it all in, and to just see what it's all about!!! Anybody else on the fence?
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: David D on September 29, 2011, 09:27:43 pm I'll try to make it Thursday night.
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: rayg on September 29, 2011, 10:34:38 pm Bob, I'm still on the fence too, I'm thinking about going (1st timer) and taking the wife's mini van "it can hold allot" but not looking forward to the 5~6 hour ride. :Oo: For work, I used to have drive to Chicago once a month for a few years straight and still do allot of driving for them.
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: davethebirdman on September 29, 2011, 11:26:35 pm If it were only 5 hours away from me and I had never been before and there was a cahnce to meet up with a load of guys who share my hobby I'd definately be going. Get in that van and get down there. Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: SIGNGUY on September 30, 2011, 08:38:14 am If it were only 5 hours away from me and I had never been before and there was a cahnce to meet up with a load of guys who share my hobby I'd definately be going. Get in that van and get down there. We'll said Dave!!! All I can say is if you havne't been there, then this is the time to come.. not to mention the good group of guys/gals on hand, but it's just plain fun... if your a regular on this site and love what others have to post about, etc... then this is like a real life version of a website.. actual people finding deals, makeing deals , finding things to add to their collection and the best part, you can see what they are getting first hand! pretty cool.. and like I said if you have something you want to sell, your more than welcome to drop it by my booth, it'll be me and a buddy heading down this year. oh and those within 5-6 hours.. it's not a bad drive! (wow, I sound like it's my show or something?) I just have fun seeing everyone! :happydrinkers: Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Funtronics on September 30, 2011, 12:55:41 pm I bought the Canadan Dry slider off of Bob. Would anyone be able to bring it to the Chicago show for me? Would pay a small fee for delivering it. Thanks I'm still on the fence if I'm going. It's TBD for now.

I plan on taking delivery of a very cool fantasy piece, and displaying it in my booth inside.

Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: rayg on October 02, 2011, 03:26:01 pm You guys are right if everything goes right and I can get my buddy to go, then I'll probably be there. I would like to find something cool to take home... Maybe a 1950's~1960's slot machine, not so old that it's too expensive, but not too new that it huge.
Any ideas what to look for? Ray Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: davethebirdman on October 02, 2011, 04:17:17 pm Ray - Why not go for a 1930's trade stimulator. They are great to play (especially the 21 machines) and
are just the right size. Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: fabes on October 02, 2011, 06:20:13 pm What day is the Portillo's get-together? Thurs? I'm in Chicago, so I'm pretty sure I'll be going. It'll be great to meet you guys. I'd like nothing more then to shake your hands for all the help on my machine thus far and see some good stuff at the show.
-Pete Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Pat Pixley on October 02, 2011, 07:32:53 pm Well I'm set to go. I picked up A few machines one for signguy and one for Rod , the 4Hr road trip to Kilroy's place then we had to wait two hours
for SliderBob to show up with a machine then harassed from Bob making me unload his vehicle and watching me load it in the back of my truck by myself and then telling me too stay out of Kilroy's parents garage , Then Kilroy and Bob blaming me from taking them away from the Lion's game (can you believe them WOW!!!) :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: So Rod & John you guys are set and we will settle up there You may have to buy me a beer just from the harassment from those two. PS Don't believe what those two might say :laugh: :laugh: Hey one more thing for Thursday night are we going to still do the Glass vs Can vs Plastic in Coke and or Dr. Pepper Taste test ?? Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on October 02, 2011, 08:18:16 pm let me know if the taste test is on, i have almost a full case of dublin dr pepper i will donate to the taste test.

Sorry for all the trouble. Thursday night should be a good time. A store here had Ski soda in bottles.

TFJ Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Cokemachinesandmore on October 02, 2011, 08:45:13 pm is it a grapette picnic cooler
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: collecture on October 03, 2011, 12:28:12 am Then Kilroy and Bob blaming me from taking them away from the Lion's game (can you believe them WOW!!!) Was it during the first half or second half? First half - ehhh? Second half - I'd be bummed too (if I were a Lions fan). Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Slider-Bob on October 03, 2011, 08:24:56 am Man...for the 1st time ever, Pat actually had to get in his truck and drive to pick up a machine! He's so used to everyone bringing machines to him, that he now knows what that involves. He even called me 2 hours later after he left Kilroy's parents house saying he was still on the road going home. (By the way, it's a 1 hour drive tops from Kilroy's parents to Pat's house (not 4 hours), but then again, only Pat knows what mischief he got into on the way home! He probably bought another machine on his way home in the back roads of Michigan!
Actually, Pat should get the Godd Samaritan award for the day...He helped out 2 local collectors (me and Kilroy), helped out 2 michigan Neihbor collectors (Rod and John), and even helped JohnieG move that day. WHAT A GUY! Thanks buddy! We all owe you one! Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Slider-Bob on October 03, 2011, 08:26:38 am I mean to say Good Samaritan, but actually Godd Samaritan may be more appropriate!
Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: SIGNGUY on October 03, 2011, 09:23:51 am Here's to You Pat :happydrinkers: I'm raising a glass to you now and be certain, I'll be glad to hoist a few more with you on Thursday! Leave your Beer Money at Home! or save it and put it towards something cool at the show!
Thanks much... look forward to seeing you guys in November! Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Kilroy on October 03, 2011, 01:07:44 pm I must have got a contact beer buzz from Ideal Bob since i don't remember any of the events yesterday happening as Pat described them.
I remember turning off the car radio to tell Bob we were on our way back, seconds later I was told the greatest comeback in Lions history started. I Remember Pat marvelling at the paved roads and indoor plumbing, I guess it's not readily available in his neck of the woods. Overall, hooked up with three board members, so it was a good afternoon after all Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: SIGNGUY on November 01, 2011, 11:27:38 am Ok,
Not sure about the rest of you, but I'm getting excited about Chicago coming up next week already... will be getting the trailer loaded this weekend even though not heading out till Thursday First thing. So just a reminder, we are meeting at Portillos restaurant and we do have the Side Room availabe once again,, and a HUGE THANK YOU TO FUNTRONICS for picking up the Room Charge! Thanks Rod and Janet!!! we have the room anytime after 6pm on Thursday Nov. 10th... for those of you who have not been there, it's right next door to Pheasant Run and in front of the Target Store. It's a counter service type of dining so order what you want and bring it into the room and I'm sure we'll have a great time once again! Look forward to seeing everyone!

I know alot of us will be getting together on Thursday night to put names with faces and such, but also a fair amount of people , like Leanord, will not be there and personally I don't know him... would we look like geeks walking around with a sticker on our jacket saying (Member SMC) or something like that? that way if we see someone who we don't recognize that morning and want to say hi, we'd know he/she was member? I could have the stickers available at my trailer that morning for people to pick up?? just an idea? take it or leave it... I can make up the stickers and bring them of we like it or not.. John Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Ltransam on November 03, 2011, 09:26:28 am AH .

I have to work nights Nov 7-11 swapping out PC's after hours at Ford WHQ. It was originally scheduled for the week of 10/17, but the new PC's didn't show up on time. I'd say sometimes I can't catch a break, but I caught a huge break today in selling my 63, so that's not true. Thanks Moondawg! I went from 6 machines down to 1 machine in the last 6 weeks. It would be a great time to buy :veryangry: Have fun everyone!

Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Jim on November 12, 2011, 03:26:30 pm Matt,
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date with your photos ! ! ! How were prices in relation to quality of items...? Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: SIGNGUY on November 12, 2011, 06:14:27 pm Over all , thought the show was a good one once again.. we did well on selling some items, by buddy did really well selling EVERY Gas / Oil item he brought.. 3 pumps, signs, oilers, greasers, about 3 signs and one coin op gumball machine for 10 bucks... I sold a Stoner Jr, uselect it a popcorn warmer and a few small stuff.. picked up some other machines that where pre purchased and hauled in from all areas from Some of the Great Members here on SMC!
So big thanks to Brian (Seven181), and Pat Pixley for Helping me out ... The dinner was once again the highlight, alwasy great to see everyone, and then see them again Friday morning and talking about what they saw, bought or missed... outside sales I thought ended earlier than years past... and seemed to dry up around 11am ... but when you start at 5.. thats plenty of time too.. I didn't take pictures as I didn't walk around much... so thanks for Matt for posting some for those who can't make it... there where only a few people I didn't get to meet from the site that got in late Thursday or Friday so would like to hear their take.. I think Bonovox was one? not sure who else? Overall, another great time.. we are talking about doing the spring show as well this year.. it's been a while so we try it . later John Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: Pat Pixley on November 12, 2011, 09:58:22 pm Ok My turn to post some pictures

:smile: I found a pic of a Coke one on eBay.. Need to contact Allen and get more measurements but I think the best way to display this would be make it what it was... a bench. Title: Re: Chicago Roll Call and Party Room Reservation Post by: SIGNGUY on November 14, 2011, 10:28:07 am Great Score Eric,,, I saw that sign, thought it was a fantasy one so didn't bother calling you on it...
