I just found a video of the pre-show from the Chicago Pipe Show 2012. FYI, I am behind the table at 9:03 wearing a wild tie, selling tampers.

tbradsim1, this is only the pre-show on Friday, in the smoking tent. The actual show is in a completely different room during the next two days,Saturday & Sunday. 300 tables with lots of room between them. Illinois does not allow smoking in any public buildings. Thus they rent a tent for smoking. In previous years, the pre-show was in the big room. But people would have to decide between smoking and looking at pipes. The move to the smoking tent was very popular.
