Who's Attending the Chicago Pipe Show???

[rickpal14]

With the show just a few days away I thought it would be a good idea to see who will be attending so we can look out for each other...
I will only be there Saturday as I have a business trip later that week. I fly into O'Hare at 7:30 so I am hoping to be at the tent by 8:30AM........ I will be a smoking fiend until 5PM!!! :D
So who else will be here??? ::

I'm flying in tonight to attend the pipe making seminar Wednesday and Thursday. Right now I'm scheduled to come home Sunday afternoon, but I might see if I can extend through Sunday night or even Monday.

Depending on a final exam tomorrow night, I might be there afterwards. Work Thursday. Then all day Friday. Saturday, my son and I will be there for a long time.

I'm at the airport now waiting to board :puffpipe:

I really wanted to attend, but am out of town and don't fly back into St. Louis till Saturday morning. Not enough time to make it up. And I sure wanted to go.

I have the plane ready for me Saturday or Sunday to fly into KDPA (DuPage County Airport). Pheasant Run is on the North parameter of the Field. As usual, I will fly in just for the day and then return home. Which day? Well, that depends upon the weather. It is always a wait and see proposition. Usually, I meet Craig Tarler in the tent around 10:00AM. I leave to fly home about 4:00PM. I hope to meet many of you there. I am aiming for that meeting at 2:00PM in the tent on Saturday if possible.

Should be lighting a pipe in the golf wing at 1pm Wednesday. Anticipating another fantastic time in Chicago.

Hope to meet up with some of the forum members here during the weekend.

Leaving Friday morning! 6-7 hour drive, then staying through Sunday afternoon. Bringing a dear friend that I turned on to pipes a little over a year ago. He has no idea what he is in for...

Watch out for some bad weather later today. If a storm brews, get out of that tent and go indoors

I arrive Thurs, late afternoon and depart Mon morning.

Arriving tomorrow afternoon. Leaving Sunday. Wish me luck at the Throwdown.

 

[winton]

Good luck Leonard! You finally have a picture of yourself posted, with pipe! That makes you official.

 

[rootling]

I think that this will be my 5th Chicagoland show, can't wait to pull in Friday morning to start my mancation.

I wish I was Going Maybe next year.

My limo driver (shown below) will be here to take me to the airport in a few hours.

 

[rickpal14]

So you are leaving your "limo driver" for a weekend to hang around with a bunch of middle aged pipe smoking guys????........... I think I may be starting to doubt your decision making abilities Kevin!!! :nana:
Looking forward to meeting you and the other members Saturday!

 

[admin]

I wanted her to come with me, but she already had a big Kentucky Derby Event planned at Tampa Bay Downs this weekend.

 

[rickpal14]

I guess you'll just have to survive with us then!! :wink:

 

[steyrshrek]

Wish I was going but I'll have to live vicariously through you guys, so take lots of picture and Kevin take some videos and maybe some interviews. Have fun guys.

Bags packed, truck packed, pipes packed, wallet packed :wink: I'll be in St. Charles in about 14 hours!
