<p>[QUOTE=&quot;borgovan, post: 576120, member: 13016&quot;]Show was great. I spent about 5 1/2 hours there today, and will likely go back tomorrow for more punishment. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I met up with TheNoost and Stainless, whom I had met on previous occasions, and also Covert Coins and his wife, whom I had not met before.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I did a little buying and selling; came out about level cash-wise. I went with money to spend, but I&#039;m a bargain-hunter, and didn&#039;t see as many as I thought I might. I still did find a few sweet buys. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The show was much smaller than it has been in the past. The two anterooms were closed, and they are usually full of dealers. A full house is about 200 dealers, but there were only 140 at this show. Still a massive show, but a little shy of normal. I did make it through the entire bourse in my 5 1/2 hours. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On the whole, dealers were friendly, as usual, but there were lots of complaints about how slow it was. This was to be expected, given our local economy, but I didn&#039;t expect it to be this slow. Given how many people are usually in the smaller rooms, and with them being closed this time, I figured the main room was jammed. It was not. This could be because the show is Thursday-Saturday, instead of Friday-Sunday, but the dealers didn&#039;t think so. I still say that work schedules kept people away today, and it will probably be crazy tomorrow.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I hope to meet up with more CTers tomorrow morning (if they&#039;re there early enough before&nbsp; I leave). I&#039;m especially hopeful to meet Arizona Jack, because he&#039;s not from around here. I&#039;ll try to give another brief trip report tomorrow.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Cheers![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
