Wondering who is going to the show? I am going to try and make it, but wife is due with our 1st baby! Would like to talk to someone going, to see if you would keep you eye out for some 7UP machines. Looking to find some and I know there will be some there!
Thanks,
Brian

Sorry, I won't be going. I will be going in the fall for sure. The last few times i have been 7 up machines were not really out there to buy. I bought a ST 7up 56 there 2 yrs ago for 150 bucks and that was the only 7 up i seen.

Matt,
Thanks for the update. I will go in fall for sure! I have not gone in about 12 years. I did pick up and embossed "ice cream" cooler years ago. It is really like a Kelvinator.

I'm planning on going in Novemeber too... Wife and I usually go in the
fall though I'm wondering if that Orange Crush cooler will be there this
March show.... as always looking for the Quikold standard non-electric
in any off brand...
So let's try to get a good size group going in November... Would really
enjoy meeting you guys in person... I've been lucky enough to meet
Dr Galaga (Brent), Aspbear (GB) and Joey and I hope we can meet up again
there... the Resort is very nice.. kinda pricey though... but hey.. it's
my wifes and I only time to get away from the little ones... SO you guys push that angle and the fact there is a mall just down the road...
So save up and lets meet up! We can all help each other load up the bargains we find!

Eric,
Sounds like a great idea! I would love to meet everyone, get some great deals and load up the wagons! It looks like I am going to miss this one, as our first is on the way any day! I hope there are not a lot of 7up machines there this time!

Keep an open eye out for 7UP machines! I hope I can make it. Not sure, depends on when the baby comes. I am very anxious to go. Might have to wait until fall.

I would love to make it to a Spring show. This year I have an excuse 
I'll be out in L.A. visiting some relatives and going to see a taping of the Price Is Right before Bob Barker retires, always been a dream of my wife'. Should be fun.
I will however make it to the November show. My wife is really excited as well as my daughter. I explained that it's like a huge garage sale, now their sold!!

BrianB,
Nice job in selling it! Way to go! Hope you go see Bob and he calls your name, "Brian B, COME ON DOWN". You can win a few bucks at the spinning wheel and buy some more machines!!!!

I was all set to go, then realized my Tax appointment was set for the 30th....so I guess I should try to squeeze more money out Uncle Sam, to ensure the succes of future buying,, rather then spending money I dont have! Fall sounds great....Do we know the date on that show yet?
Nothing saying we have to stay at the pheasant run(where show is at) there might be a cheaper place down the road too?

Matt,
What is the Kane County show? Where is that? Anything good ever there? I wish I could make the Chicago show! Baby on the way! I have a feeling some 7up machines are going to be there!

Finding lodging half way between Kane County fairgrounds and Phesant run resort would be nice for those of us who fly there. They may also offer a discount on a block of rooms for next November.

Good Idea Glen... I'm in! Anyone go a lot and know the area or
stay at other places?
I've always stayed at the resort... But I'd rather save the money for something at the show.

I'm planning on attending the spring show this year, it's local only about a 1/2 drive so it's nice. I'll make sure I take a bunch of pictures. I've been to the fall show the last 2 years but have always missed the spring show, I hope it's a good one.
If anyone needs help with hotels or the surrounding area let me know I'd be glad to help-

At the last show, I was on the fence about going so I didin't get my reservation at the Hilton along with Matt. I ended up getting a room at the Pheasant Run for cheaper that the regular room rate at the Hilton. I am a Hilton Honors member but even with that and a gov. discount, the room over at The Run was cheaper and closer.
Don't get me wrong though, the Hilton is very nice and has a great breakfast.

Looks like I'm going to the Spring Show and Fall Show this year. I've got to get away from some craziness at home for a few days. That's going to be just the ticket. Lets set a time and location for folks to meet up on Friday.
