A HUGE Thanks to the FCB Staff

[All In Cards]

I would really like to thank Chris and all the guys for the coverage they gave us of the national.

It was great and it let a lot of us check out the national. I know I am already looking forward to next year's show in Baltimore.

I agree Andrew. The coverage was awesome. There were some good interviews, and it was fun. I appreciate them setting it up so that all of us could enjoy the National. I'm going to have to find a way to next years.

Great job FCB Staff.

I would be interested in hearing their thoughts, was it worth while, should the site see more members/sponsors because of it?

 

[excel_B]

Only 15 minutes down 83 from my soon-to-be-ending bachelor pad... :lol:

I will definitely be there. Counting the days....

Unfortunately, I was in a class all week that didn't allow me time to get online during the day, so I caught what little I could, but it looked like a great time and great coverage. Put me on the "maybe" list for Baltimore next year.

Will definitely be there, hopefully for every day.

None of the Hotels websites are booking yet. It'll probably be a couple of weeks yet. It's at the Convention Center, right next to the Stadiums. There are about 30 hotels within 5 miles, since it's right down by the Inner Harbor.

Good job fellas!


Loved the coverage and cant wait to join the party next year. Then in 2011, it will be in my "sort of" backyard of chicago!

If you want to spend close to $200 a night stay downtown.

If you have a car and dont mind driving 20 to 30 mins, I would stay in Towson or near the airport. Rooms will be at least 1/2 of what they are downtown.

 

[goldenegg1]

It was great coverage!
I have a ton of stuff to do at work today because I basically did nothing Thursday and Friday!
Thanks Again guys!
Can't wait for Chicago!

 

[mchenrycards]

My daughter and her family live 45 minutes from there....and the fact that I live 45 minutes from the Rosemont Expo center where the 2012 National is being held...well lets just say I am saving my money starting now because I have a few nationals to attend in the next 2 years!!

We'll need to discuss this further, but I can't imagine staying anywhere other than downtown. Ballparks, Restaurants, 5 minute walk to the convention center, Fells Point within walking distance, Inner Harbor, etc.

It's coming to Baltimore next year!??!?!?! :shock:

It will be worth the 1 1/2 hour drive

Going to start making phone calls in the coming weeks. We do work for a couple of hotels downtown. Going to see what kind of deal we can work for a block of rooms.

I agree with BCA. In this case, I think staying downtown is the better play. Most places (except the Holiday Inns) have free parking and you can just walk everywhere, which comes in handy on the later nites. Also, if there is an O's game, parking at the hotel really comes in handy.

Summer weekdays should be more likely to be cheaper too. I just got Express right there for $99 per for next weekend, and on short notice. Hopefully, a block would be even cheaper for you.

Either way, it should be a great show and have a ton of cool local autos!
