Just to let the rest of you know that we did all hook up for dinner last night.  Not a very large crowd, but still enjoyable.  I was there with my son, Kyle, Rod and Janet, Dan Cooney, Tom from Jersey and his friend Jeff, Brian (seven181), Harrison and his wife, plus a few of Rods friends but I forgot their names.

I didn't go to the show today.  I am at work typing this thread.  I'll go on Saturday with my son.

I called Tom up and he reported nothing out of the ordinary.  The only thing I can verify is that it is raining outside.  I'll let someone from the show chime in later.

Thanks for the update.. Larry.. I was probably more bummed out about not seeing everyone at dinner, but we'll have to do it up big again in the Fall.
Too bad our Comrads in Arms are getting soaked while out fighting the good fight for Soda Machine Preservation!

I'll try to remember to take my camera tomorrow. Some of the vendors get a little pissy if you take pictures of their booth! I have gotten into it a few times in the past!  veryangry

That's when you say "Oh sorry! I think you do nice work and was going to ask for your card, but.." And then walk away.
What have they got to be ashamed of?? Oo oh

It's polite to ask if they would mind if you take a picture first, it's been know for someone to take pictures of booths to later follow the owners home & stake out their storage unit for a later visit by a pack of thieving weasels...it has happened in the past...

Went to the show today and there were no people in the parking lot.  Yesterday I heard it was scarce due to the rain.  A few cool things inside but nothing too special.  The coolest thing I saw was a Jennings pay out pinball game from the thirties.

This wouldn't have been a good show to travel to.  Thirty miles for me is no big deal.  Hundreds of miles, not worth it.  I hope the next show is better.
