Going to my 1st National this year

[OldEnglishD]

Thanks for all the wonderful advice, I honestly haven't been so excited for a short trip since I was a teenager and the family was heading to Cedar Point (Amusement Park in Ohio)! I feel as prepared as I'll ever be thanks to the folks that have taken the time to post here.

Besides Steve, are there any other Net54 members setting up tables? I'll make sure not to miss you at the show. Also provides me a familiar face for the Net54 dinner on Friday.

Lastly, I'm looking for 1 or 2 people to exchange short want lists with. We could exchange phone numbers and text each other when we see something the other is looking for. Can't hurt to have extra eyes out there. Just a thought.

show ?

I always bring a couple cans of Guinness to drink during the inevitable afternoon doldrums - Guinness is food!

Just a note for those in the northeast who can't or won't go to chicago---got first meal yesterday for the so-called "East Coast National" in white plains, it's mid-August and lot of great autograph stars there, if that's your thing....it's NOT the national but an option....

"got first meal yesterday for the so-called "East Coast National"

Man, I'm living in the wrong part of the country; got to go to the ECN if the promoter feeds us as well

I think I just might go the East Coast National show in White Plains this year
