Chicago Pipe Show 2019

[npod]

This will be my first year staying at the lodge instead of across the street. Thus, a little rain wouldn't be so bad. However, that means more people crammed in to the smoking tent. If it is muggy due to damp weather, it will get pretty boggy with smoke in that space 8O.

The forecast is improving for the weekend! It's been cold, wet, and even snowy here in Chicago. Nice to see Spring arriving for the show.

Weather is looking up. Thanks to Lucky I have a table to share, looking like a great first Chicago show.

I plan on attending rain or shine. 8O

 

[craiginthecorn]

Great to hear, Crash. Lucky is a wonderful guy. I’m sure you’ll enjoy sharing his table.

Keeps me from having to spread my own stuff out too thin, _and _ I can get up and look around the show for a few minutes every coupla hours.

I'll miss the show this year, but what I'll miss most is that stuffed biscuit at Buttermilk in Geneva. It is the best breakfast item I've ever eaten.

This show date is always awful timing for me at work. A bunch of my local pipe club buddies are enroute. Maybe one of these years.

I'll see y'all at the Show! Sue Bender and I will be at the check-in desk on Saturday morning.

Make sure you say "Hello" and let me know your Forum identity.

Headed to the resort. Looking forward to seeing everyone who can attend.

See you all tomorrow. You should be able to pick me out by my resting bitch face

 

[chilllucky]

That's not really a distinguishing characteristic in this crowd.
I was just telling some guys in the smoking tent that if there was a beard-based drinking game, I would be passed out on the floor by now.

+1 :laughat:

I’d already be on the ground, so you would have cushion to fall on. It was great meeting you today. Hopefully we have more time to chat proper tonight or tomorrow.

It’s on

 

[crashthegrey]

It was great seeing both of you and a few others. Looking forward to tomorrow.

Spent a couple of hours at the pipe show today. Bought my first meerschaum and also bought a pipe from crashthegrey. Talked with crash and chilllucky for a bit. It was awesome to meet them in person...great guys. I just might go back tomorrow.

Missed it this year (and last for that matter). Thanks for posting some pix,

Thinking about driving down tomorrow. I've never been. Is it worth a 4-hour round trip to catch the last couple hours? Or is it usually pretty much over by Sunday afternoon?
