I'll be there Sunday. I'm kind of excited, it'll be the first card show I've ever been to.

Anyone know if there are coupons in the local papers on the admission price? I dont see anything online so far.

I dont think they ever put coupons in the paper even though its sponsored by the Sun Times.

Last week, like tuesday or Wed there was a coupon for Free Admission in the VALPAK that comes in the mail. It is usually the Blue Envelope filled with like 50 coupons. Free admission coupon was in there towards the end

Really wish I could have made it.

Already told the wife to not expect me around the first weekend in August next year. HAHA!

Fellas, it was great meeting everybody last night. Thanks again for letting me hang, I really enjoyed myself!

Wish I could be there! But instead I am watching the Michigan game with my newborn. Doesn't get much better than this. Please keep an eye out for any 1/1's of michigan football guys in the NFL.

Was there for about four hours today. There's so much to consume, it's almost overwhelming. I spent most of my time searching boxes for cards and checking out some of the memorabilia. Can't wait to get back tomorrow.

You guys hanging anywhere tonight after the show?

We are back at the Hyatt after a great day at the show. Any other FCB'ers staying here up for food or beverages somewhere?

The mod staff is at the hyatt NORTH of the convention center, not the one attached to the complex. Rooms were expensive because there is a furry convention there.


That's right, a furry convention. I think it's best to stay away from that.

We are sitting in the bar having dinner and I can attest to the Fur Fest. Some really strange things are happening at this hotel, I have never seen anything like it. I would advise all to stay away.

 

[cgilmo]

Pop on up to the other hyatt if you wanna hang out.

LOL @ FURRIES!

I overhead some talk about a squirrel convention, but I didn't know if it was serious.
