Chicago coin-op show

[BrianB]

Just wanted to ping the group and see who all was planning on going. I know there was quite an extensive discussion about the show last fall and wanted to see if the interest was still there.

This will be my first time and I'm pretty stoked about it. I've never been to ANY coin-op show before, so, this should be pretty cool.

I'll be there! Out there Thursday morning around 5:00am with a flash light with all the other
early birds! I'll be there Thurs-Sat! This will be my 4th time... Lots of stuff still pops up....
Everyone that's going.... we'll have to have a meeting place!

Cash is tight this time around, not to mention room for another machine (hmmm, time to sell the living room set?)

For all going, definately keep us posted on the sights and impressions. I so need a reason to actually attend a future show

I'll be going - have to pick up more Mt. Dew in glass!  '>
Not sure if I'll go on Saturday or Sunday.

Remember this Josh- The airport is right next to the convention center.  You and Markito (and isn't vend_dr close too) can rent a plane, fly it in for the day and hop over the fence to the convention center parking lot!

Sounds very tempting!
But I probably can't go. '>

From experience!... Wear gloves and a cap... Heck! and a pair of coveralls!!! for the early Thursday morning scramble....
I about froze to death the first time.....
It's fun though.... there was all sorts of stuff... payphones, barber poles, traffic lights, RR crossing signs, a full mount Buffalo, old movie cameras from Hollywood, Backdrop paintings
and of course Jukes, Arcades, Soda machines..... Course that was about four years ago....
But you just never know!
