   The Chicagoland International Pipe & Tobacianna Show will be coming up in a few weeks (May 1 & 2). This is the Mecca of all pipe shows. All 304 exhibitor tables are sold. The carvers are from all over the world. There are numerous activities, including Brian Ruthenberg doing a hands-on pipe making seminar. For more activities see http://www.chicagopipeshow.com/show_information/ShowActivities.php. Also the U.S. national smoking contest will be held.

   Doc... I have never had the pleasure of attending a pipe show. Thank you for the info.

   As an example to others, and not that I care for moderation myself, it has always been my rule never to smoke when asleep, and never to refrain from smoking when awake.

   Wish I could go. I have another event that I agreed to way back that same weekend.

   If at first you don't succeed you are running about average.

   Arthur don't be too disappointed. There's been a rash of shootings in the Windy City as of late. Better off staying home.

   NASCAR...Everything else is just a game.

   I would just love to go! But it's not financially feasible this year, so I'm saving up for next year. For those who are going, please bring back photos and share with us your experience.

   Don't let Oppie scare you. The pipe show is actually in St. Charles, IL, about 20 miles west of Chicago at the Pheasant Run Resort. The biggest danger is getting hit by a golf ball.

    Don't forget to make those hotel registrations at Pheasant Run. It's a great resort,and you can park your car there for the whole show.
