2020 West Coast Pipe Show Is On Halloween (now Cancelled)

[litup]

I just realized that the WCPS falls on Halloween this year. It's probably not an issue for the older guys but for those of us with young kids at home, it's a bummer. I might have to miss the show for the first time in years. Family has to come first.

I just looked up pricing and travel costs. I might can go to this!

I totally get it. My kids are past that age now, but when they still went out trick or treating I always went along. It was a highlight of the Autumn.

I do miss those days, but the positive side is that I can fly out to Vegas for the show with a clear conscious and a suitcase full of pipes & tobaccos.

If you can make it, you should. It's a great show.

Yeah, Halloween is still a lot of fun in my household and I'd hate to miss it. My child will only be young once and, frankly, there aren't that many years left when she'll be interested in trick or treating. So this may be my last year.

But I also hate the idea of missing the pipe show.

I live here so it doesn't impact me, plus my daughter will only be a year and a half old so it's not like she's going to notice.

But I will volunteer my house and neighborhood for anyone that needs/wants on Halloween for the show. No raves allowed though... ?

I can do it for ell under $500 including a little spending cash while Im there. Wont have enough to buy a pipe, but bacy is in the budget, and I would get to see and interact with lots of pipe folks.

Las Vegas on Halloween! I'm in. Can't be as wild as New Orleans on Halloween.

I am waiting until I can do the trip with enough cash to enjoy myself and get a pipe

I get that. However, I havent been on a real just for me trip in literally years. Well over a decade, and maybe two. If I can save the cash to go, even if I cant afford to buy a pipe, I'm going. (Of course with 10 months to plan one hopes I will manage to ferret away more cash and get a pipe too :p)

Right on! Make sure you take pictures and write about it, so we can live vicariously through you. I have wanted to go for about five years now

They were obliged to change their original date because competition from another event made getting a room discount impossible.

Vegas and Halloween seem like a natural match.

you should see Key West. Two words- Fantasy Fest.

I am going to try to go, the night being All Hallows Eve is not an issue for me, although it will make hotel and air fair a lot more expensive. What I do find strange, is that the "West Coast" pipe show is in Las Vegas. It would be like having an East Coast show in Ohio. It is over a four hour drive to the coast from Vegas, mostly because Nevada isn't on the ocean... at all. Do you remember the old Superman movie with Gene Hackman as Lex Luthor, the one where he buys all the land in the middle of nowhere so that when he blows up CA and it sinks into the sea, he will make a killing on beachfront property? Maybe that is what the people who run the West Coast Pipe Show are planning, maybe this is the long con? #curiousincalifornia

Wait until after "The Big One" hits. Then it will all make perfect sense.

Given that it's Vegas, how will we know it's Halloween?

More costumes, more throw up, otherwise pretty much the same?

There is a Bill Hicks but about Arizona.

Not surprised. The WCPS is cancelled this year. See everyone in 2021.

From their site it looks like it's still going ahead, even though most of the conventions I've seen in Vegas are shut down until next month or early November.

Show update of September 10, 2020

After speaking with the hotel today, Sept. 8 , 2020, I am sad to say that this year’s show is being cancelled due to this disgusting illegal, evil , mess we are in. I have rolled the show into November, 2021. I hope and pray that our world will be better by then. The exact dates will be put on this site when I receive them from the hotel. I tried to hang on , in hopes that we might be able to have the show but it just isn’t possible. Thanks for your understanding.
I hope to see everyone , next year !
