If any of ya'll plan to attend give a shout out. I would love to meet real humans in the flesh who educate, enlighten and entertain on this wonderful board. JBGood
Technically, this is the Bay Area Historical Bourse. See you there. I'll be the young guy at the CNG table.
I checked their website http://www.sfbourse.com/ it says that the next show is cancelled. Did they make an error or something?

John Jencek is not organizing it and that is his website. I believe Tom Cederlind is helping to organize it this year but and I also got an email from Harlan Berk and CNG that they will be attending. I'm pretty sure it's on. I'll be there Friday at 10 am sharp. Short blonde hair and glasses, English beard, nearly 50 but looks 25 (yeah, I wish ), trolling for high quality Roman Republican silver.
Check it out, look at the bottom of the post it says 2004. This show this weekend is happening. @Ardatirion
It's not the same show, and will be at the Holiday Inn. I was asked to take a table but the notice was too short, just a few weeks. There has always been a San Francisco show, some may remember Jack Tarr, Pyramid, Saslow, and others who have organized shows there. Good times! I just wished it would be moved to the airport.
Basically, yes. When the show was at the Catrhedral Hill Hotel it was better, parking was ample and cheap for downtown. Now, parking is expensive, hotels expensive, hard to get into the Holiday Inn, etc. The airport is a better location. Mostly free and unlimited parking. Plus, downtown is just a few minutes drive if one wants to go into town for dinner.
I love SF and it's only about 90 minutes away, but hassle is right. Two days ago I didn't know the Bourse was a thing, but I'd probably be going if it weren't for hassle.
Delightful!! I spent 5 hours at it, bought 4 coins, reviewed Triton (saying a final goodbye to 3 of my old friends that are in it) and am now having cocktails and considering a foot massage because I'm old and my feet friggin' hurt. Visiting San Fran with all of the madness is sort of like being a tourist in some suburb of Hell without the long term commitment.
