The road (an intrinsic part of the show experience, right?); the main floor; and one of several upstairs lounges.

Wow, that looked like a great venue and vendor array. Smoking the show as well, that's almost unheard of these days.

I see a few familiar faces.

Thanks for the pics georged! It looks like a really neat venue for a pipe show. I've always want to go to this one, but am yet to make it. Maybe next year?

Was that I55? Drive from Chicago? Interstate freaks wanna know! :)
I-70 eastbound, halfway between Columbia and St. Louis in the first one, and the outskirts of SL in the second.
You like highways? Check this out (real, not PhotoShop):

Indeed. This hall was private property and public area smoking laws didn't apply. It helped make for an Old School sort of show. More laid back and less of the Chicago-ish trade expo feel. The local club even had some volunteer cooks on site so that leaving the venue wasn't necessary for lunch, and the food was EXCELLENT. (Thank you SLPC!) :D

Is that mike McNeil smoking a cigarette?
Yup. He smokes a lot of them. (Loves finding old English metal tinned cigarettes at shows from time to time.)
