Chicago 2024: Who's going?

[craiginthecorn]

I was thinking about swing down on Saturday. I’m not seeing ticket prices for one day, I must be blind…

Sorry. You're not blind. There is a one-day option for which there is no online registration available, but not for Saturday. It's available for Sunday only. $25.

@bent1 , here you go: Chicago Pipe Show - http://www.chicagopipeshow.com/

Booked my flight about two hours ago. This is going to be my first pipe show ever. Looking forward to it.

I'm case you weren't already aware, there's a free shuttle to the hotel

I just booked a room for the Chicago Pipe Show. This will be my first time attending. Pretty excited about it.

Anyone else from the forums planning on going?

I'll be there!

Took me a few seconds. Yep, progress is slow, but little by little, most of the remains of Pheasant Run are being demolished. Looks a little like the Tower of Terror at the moment.

I'll be there, I always am.
This year my friend Al Shaw and I are doing a presentation on Sherlock Holmes: Pipes and Tobaccos.
See y'all in April.

Dino, I have understood that Al Shaw is unable to make it, so this seminar is being cancelled. Correct?

 

[craiginthecorn]

Last year I donated a (almost life-size) Thomas Jefferson bust for the silent auction. I'm working on something different to donate this year. It's just another way to support the show.

@craiginthecorn Are you looking for items for the silent auction this year?

Sorry for my slow response! Yes! We're definitely looking for donations. Thomas Jefferson was a big hit and I believe is now at The Country Squire in Mississippi.

Unfortunately, that is correct. Sorry, both he and I were looking forward to it, but Al is unavailable on Friday and we couldn't work it out for Saturday. Next year.

I’ll be there. I’ve been planning it since last years show!

I'll be there starting Wednesday and staying until Monday. It's always a highlight of the year for me.

That’s wonderful, I didn’t know. Thanks, @craiginthecorn !

Oh man, you guys will have an absolute blast. Last year was my first as well, it’s overwhelmingly fun!

My wife will probably only let me get away with 1 show this year (hopefully PER year!) so this year I’m gonna shoot for Vegas.

Everything changed in an instant. I will now be attending in Chicago!
