Man, that really busy a good idea! A parking garage would make a great venue except for the incline and that they may leak (if it's raining)!

That idea is a great one!

Just a few words of encouragement for those thinking of attending the show.



Bought this from Brad Pohlman at the 2008 show. He made it for me after I commented on another forum how much I liked the shape he calls The Colonel.

Love me some Brad Pohlmann!!
I hope they get the show stuff handled real soon. Time is running out. They have already lost many of the European visitors.

I think the CoronaVirus concerns were going to do that anyway.

On a bright note, the Chinese buyers with the suitcases full of cash won't be descending on and wiping out tables this year. Gives others a shot at buying something they want.

Last but not least the trapeze acts overhead will add something truly special to the whole experience. Just don't stand directly underneath.

Will there be a motorcycle cage?

Move the Chicago Pipe Show to September and still use tents and call it "Pipetoberfest".

 

[Vipernpa]

Keep us posted! This is the one pipe show I can go to, given I live 2 hours away.

One of those things you ride around inside?

Two men enter! One man leaves! Bust a deal! Face the wheel!

 

[spugni]

Good news.

 

[hoosierpipeguy]

Finally, some good news.

 

[scloyd]

Much closer to O'hare for those flying in. ?

 

[litup]

Yeah, I wish I’d known that when they told us to book our flights but I guess they didn’t feel confident at that point.

Room booked. Great news. Hope to see some of you folks there.

I’m booked too, in Thursday out Sunday. I paid extra for the Lysol turndown service.

PSA: I checked their website to book a room, then decided I should call to see if there is a special group rate. For the same room (double), the group rate was $30 more than just booking on their website

I know. Pay the extra money anyway; without enough rooms booked the show won’t survive.

I paid on the hotel's site but used the link on the Chicago PIpe Club's web site to get there. My rate was $145 a night. Did I do it wrong?

Kudos to the CPCC for pulling together to get this done and on the calendar.
