A few years ago it was snowing at the November show. It's supposed to be 60 on Monday. Then downhill after that.

I won't be making it this fall.

Weather in Denver is supposed to turn cold starting tomorrow. I assume that cold weather will be headed your way, just in time for the show.

Going to brave the cold, but I'm sure as usual, most of the dealing will be done the night before, somewhere warm. Friday morning I am going to count how many comments I hear about all of the wheeling and dealing done Thursday night! I'm betting at least 20! lol

Maybe we can light a fire to stay warm. I will probably see you there.

I'll be at the show Saturday morning. Plan on picking up a few items...How will I know if anyone here on the forum is there? Would like to meet and greet.
Slowly building a knowledge base on E2000 series Bally machines and J400 Jennings. Started with the antique Mills and Jennings. Getting there...

Just curious what those that went to the show thought about it? I braved the cold very early on Friday and made off with a couple of deals, but nothing spectacular, however I did think the show in general was much better than the last couple. I know the fall show is always better to go to, but I thought this one was even better than last fall. I have to say, I didn't hear a whole lot about trading the night before, although I'm sure there were deals made. Maybe the cold kept it to a minimum, but I was pleasantly surprised this time around. The one thing I can easily see is that there must be a lot of money in the reproduction sign business! lol

I just returned last night from the show. It was not to bad going to the show but Fri morning was brutal 20 some degrees with a north wind and most of us were outside all day going in and out for setup. Sat was nicer the wind was down and it got a bit warmer. Sunday about the same. Had snow flurries all 3 days . Drive back was not too bad till we got to mid indiana then snow and ice for the next 100 mi in the dark. No fun there!!!!!!!!!! Sold half the items that were brought so not to bad a show. Buying was tough not too many bargains.
