Another of the lot

WAITING FOR 3:OO

Inside views. Lots of lighting, wide aisles

Above was (I think) the old storage area. The other half is the old display area. Lower ceilings, but carpeted

Nice area to sit down.

Snack bar

Jason hauling in his goodies

Houston double-checking Rob NL

Signing in. About 5PM after the rush

Tom and Mike

Frederick J. Stephens and Rob NL.

That's it for yesterday.

The 1000 advertised tables are all sold as well as a few more they have been able to add in areas where the prints did not show room.

(I can tell you from my experience before I retired that setting up a trade show in a new venue is always hard as there are areas that seem unobstructed but are in front of emergency exits, etc, and areas that looked impossible on the prints that are wide open.)

More later,

Dave

Thanks for the photos Dave. Keep us informed.

Good pix Dave...keep'em coming...
Thanks !!!

Many more to come but I cannot find my mouse and trying to sort/resize digital pics with the touch pad on my laptop is a pain.



Good show so far. the Venue is great - better than the old one. Sales seemed slow yesterday but the top conditioned and rare stuff sold well as usual. More later

I missed the great debate at the other hotel, but will get the details today.

I have met many old friends and will post some pics tonight if I can find the (*&)^%&* mouse .

Dave

Thanks for the pics Dave - look forward to seeing more!

Regards

Russ

This photo might be better in the hobby humor section. Dave please forgive me.

The guy is good. Works smart not hard. No wasted moves. Plenty of energy left for the next day.

I have several others of CG on his SW

I need to size and trim them

And Brickie, it was good to see you two days ago and I enjoyed talking with you again.

Best regards,
Dave

It's OK Dave. One is enough.

OK, now on to Thursday. Set up day

I shot lots of different views, and most were shot earlier in the morning.

Early birds

Before the lights go on. Militaria sleeps too

Lights on but no people yet

Rob Wittmann ready to sell tables. He sold quite a few. One of the conference rooms - not intended for the show was opened. Sorry, Rob, not my best picture effort
