Brian,

Thank you sir! Find some goodies!!

I will be there with Harrison. I will look also. Its going to be cold and rain

I have your number and will give you a call if anything pops up!

Woo Hoo! I just received clearance to go to the Chicago show so if the weather is good I'll be headed out Thursday afternoon!  :happydrinkers:

I’ll be taking a completely empty van and a nearly empty wallet so if anyone needs anything transported between Chicago and Kansas City let me know!  :tounge:

Seriously though, I’m just looking for a U-Select-It candy machine and a Vendo 44 coin bezel so I should have room.

I've never been before so I'm really looking forward to the show. :biggrin: 8) :biggrin:

I hate to say it, but the forcast calls for rain. :down:

I just decided to recheck it and now it says partly cloudy, which means mostly sunny.  With a 20% chance of rain.

Hopefully, the weather will be nice!! :hopefull:

So, are we meeting for lunch????

I don’t mind the rain so much; I just don’t want to be driving through my first snow storm of the year. :hopefull:

I don’t know about the forecasts you watch but the ones here seem to be reliable to only about two days out when it comes to precipitation. They are pretty good as to temperate predications as much as a week away but I never pay much attention to rain/snow forecasts until it gets closer.

Just used the weather channel for St. Charles Il.

I'm up for Lunch, are you thinking friday or Saturday.. I'm only there on Friday and I know Eric and I for sure are getting together.. There is a place in downtown St. Charles with a bunch of cool nostalgia stuff hanging all over the place, SOda/Gas Oil, advertising... I think would be the perfect place.

Who's joining us!?? :happydrinkers:

I'm thinking of what ever day you guys want.  I'm calling in sick on Friday and I will be taking my kids on Saturday.  Just give me a name of the establishment, a day, and a time. :Oo:

Friday at that old Station turned restaurant sounds good! I'm in... but lets make it a late lunch
don't want to miss anything on the lot  :biggrin:

Keep me in the loop for the late lunch on Friday guys.
   Tom

What time is everyone going to be there on Friday??

What time do you want to eat, roughly?

Larry

I have Larry's, Erics, Toms, Brian's,and a few others I think...
PM if you want mine.. I do use mine all the time and don't want to post it publicly if that's ok... just PM me and I'll get it to you.
I'm going to be in town Thursday Night too.. don't know if anyone wants to get together for a beer or two Thursday night??
I'll be in the lot EARLY on Friday, I'll be wearing a Yellow Packers Hat Not sure if anyone wants to "HUNT" in packs or do your own thing that morning? I'm open to whatever... I usually like to look fast for the first hour or two then maybe hang with someone and look more? Open to whatever...
Lunch I think where thinking later Lunch like maybe 12:30 - 1? that should be late enough and I'll be starving by then?
Thoughts?? :wow:

I'll be there on wednesday afternoon with Harrison. I am up for a beer thursday night. There is a cool place close to the St.Charles called http://www.portillos.com/ really cool place with lots of signs and antiques. I think you guys would like it. I would really like to meet some of you since we walked past each other last year.  :laugh: PM so can pass my cell #. If we can do this i will bring Harrison along. Bring some warm clothes and a rain coat.

      Both times I went to this show there was not a drop of alcohol sold in the
town of St Charles.......had to travel outside city limits for a cold one  :darn:

There is 2 of those places. one close to kane cty. and one close to st.charles. so give me shout and i can meet up for a cold one.

     Fill up your picnic coolers guys,they do sell the ice there  :biggrin:

Wish all you guys luck!!! Hope Christmas comes early for you! I wish I could go!!!!!!! Happy hunting!!!

This message is to the guys going to the Chicago show...

Chaps I'm after a favour. I just took delivery today of My Twenty One Trade Stimulator after a seven hour round trip .

 Its missing its instruction card and holder as well as the gumball vendor. These sort of toys are non existant here in UK  and apart from a telephone number Roger (Crowriver) has provided I'm really in the dark..

This is where you guys could help... When you are looking in the hidy holes for all the bargains could you plse, if you see anyone selling this sort of machine grab some contact details.. Telephone numers e-mails etc.

The Instruction card is the biggie I can live without the vendor...

As always any help would be gratefully recieved...

I just wish I could be one of those deciding where to have lunch and dinner...

Happy Hunting..

Dave

PS...Sorry to hi-jack the Chicago Thread... 

Matt,
I'd be up for that on Thursday.. I'll PM you my cell and we can touch base Thursday.. Thinking around 7 or so?

I'll be there Thursday evening...depending on the drive and stops along I-55
I have Tom, Neal and Johns cell.... Hope we can al hook up! See you guys there
save a Quikold for me! :upside:

Well I hope you guys have a good time and remember take alot of pictures
for us poor bums back here at the site  :biggrin:.

   And we will see about being there next year  :hopefull::biggrin:.

Wish I was going!   :down:

I will be sitting in the rain at UM Stadium with my boys.  There is always next year.

Curtis,

Are you coming in for the show?  If so please contact me about the Stoner Jr.

Update: Kane County

A couple of Stoners that are overpriced
81D Way overpriced
4-5 Slider that were resonable

More news at the top of the hour.......

Thanks for the update from Kane. I need parts to a Stoner coffee machine. Keep us in the loop and hope some cup machines are there at the shows!!!!!!


Brian
