Can't go either.  Opening of trout season.

LOL.....what a decision to have to make.

Usually the 3rd weekend...
Come on!.... Let's all meet up that can!....

Eric -

That sounds like an awesome idea. The last time (my first time!) Myself and Mcarter showed up on late Wednesday to do some stuff in Chicago and then caught the last hour of the Kane County Show. On Thursday we spent a better part of the morning at the Kane County Show and then went to Home Arcade Corp in Lisle. Friday morning we were up bright and early (5 am) and were over to the Pheasant Run Parking lot.

So, I think setting a pre-determined time/place is a great idea. Maybe if a bunch or all of us make it up/down there on Thursday, we could all get together for dinner and then on Friday we can meet up someplace at the show to swap stories or share any neat stuff we've bought or come across.

Were you the guys that bought the Pepsi Heinz cooler?.... We probably walked past each other all morning long..... I think we even took some of the same pictures I did in the gallery...
Sounds good to me... We could even help each other load up all the great scores we find on the lot!
ok... now I'm dreaming! a Pepsi 88 for $950!!!! Nesbitt's Slider for $450!!!!!... Hope that happens again this time around I'll be ready then.....

Linda and I are in. Where does everyone stay? Anybody have warm coats we can borrow? :-)

Maybe an SMC member could help us get our purchases to a shipper for a fee?  If so....I'm in

At home! I live about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away.

Looks like it's Nov. 10, 11 & 12.  I hope I can make the November one (I'll have a big reunion some weekend in November '06)

Party is at Brents house then :-) Kidding aside it doesn't cost that much to grab a suite at a motel. Just need to know what motel works best for all and then we would have strike base to work from. Over the years I've spent days at the O'Hare airport but know nothing of the Chicago area.
Thanks,
