    You've definitely a better memory than my feeble recall abilities Sam.......:) I also see that Eduard isn't going to be there. It would've been fun to meet him.

    Yeah, but I should since the avatar was drawn based on a pic of me.

    You look younger in the photo than in the avatar.

    I might as well go since I am in in the state and will probably be free during that time. I might as well use this as an opportunity to submit some coins to get slabbed, too. The ICG authenticator is a very friendly guy.

    It doesn't surprise me that many members live down here.

    What are your thoughts about the timing?

    I'll probably get there between 10 & 11. Anybody that wants can send me a PM with your cell # and I will give you mine so we can find each other.

    edit - something I forgot to mention. I will be wearing the exact same hat and glasses seen in the pic above. And my hair is snow white with a ponytail half way down my back. So I'm kinda easy to recognize even at a distance ;)

    I'm driving down and plan on leaving Saturday. Hopefully we don't get too much snow on Thursday and Friday.

    green18,
    Are you dug out now? The weatherman didn't do you any favor.

    Anyone else having travel concerns? I'm supposed to fly out Wednesday but that's starting to look iffy. The airports out of Chicago are still trying to recover from the last round of cancellations and another major storm is headed our way. Extreme cold to follow. A high of -12 and a low of -17 Monday and about the same for Tuesday, then more snow afterwards. Planes are grounded at other locations and can't get here for new flights to originate. Not the best outlook for travel. I wonder how this will affect dealer participation at the convention as well?

    I moved my departure back a day to Sunday (tomorrow) Sam. Things should be better then. It's supposed to warm up a bit before the temps plunge again........

    Well, I've moved things farther, farther back. I've decided to take the train down (Wednesday) and have booked a hotel room in the vicinity. Can't wait.......

    I should arrive at the convention center area on Friday January 10th. I'll probably make it to the show for a few hours Friday & plan to spend all day Saturday at the show. I'll have a car.
    If anyone wants to get together for drinks and/or dinner Friday January 10th, there are many local places we could meet. Saturday night might be another option for me.

    WorkingMan I'll be there selling lots of neat exonumia -- look me up at the Latter Investments table.

    GDJMSP I only attend 1 day, so that I am able to meet as many friends and forum members as I can. I'll probably get there Fri. between 10 & 11. Anybody that wants can send me a PM with your cell # and I will give you mine so we can find each other.

    ldhair I fly in Wed. morning and back out on Sunday. I'll be hanging out at the Rosen Centre Hotel in the evenings.

    brg5658 I'll be there all day Thursday, and probably from open to 2pm or so on Friday. :) Look forward to

    I think I'm going to write "C-B-D" under my name on my name tag when I register. Be cool if everyone could do the same. (With their I.d. :) ).

    If everyone write "C-B-D" under their name tag, it would get confusing!

    j/k ;-)

    Wish I was going. Have fun.

    I think we're going to get a late start driving Thursday, so I'll go to the show (and PCGS lunch) on Friday.
