    I'd love to go. Friday is the only day it is possible. My wife has a hard time being on her feet for any length of time. Cleveland is the only Nationals I've been to. Maybe she could bring a folding chair and rest as necessary. If you see an old couple who could not keep up with Tim Conway that will be us.

    Cleveland versus Chicago has some benefits. While the IX Center is not as close to hotels and there is not a Gibson’s right there the center itself is much nicer. More spacious by a long shot, and the food service area to the right is large and has plenty of seats to sit down and take a break FYI.

    I vouch for that Keith.

    A few years ago, I bought my 9 buck pretzel and coke and there was no where to sit.

    Luckily, I was able to secure a place on the "couch"

    Well - I fly tomorrow.

    Looking forward to seeing everyone!

    Hope we're still on for meeting up after the PSA luncheon at BBCEx?

    Don't we usually meet on Thursday at 2:00 at BBCE?

    I couldn't remember?

    Many of the guys will be at the luncheon - and I was wondering if it could be Friday so Keith/KendallCat could be part of a rip; he won't be in for Thurs.

    If this is an inconvenience to everyone? I would understand.

    I'm hoping we can spread the word one way or the other on the floor starting Wed?

    sounds like fun all over again and sadly my plans changed so I will not be attending this year. Daughter studying for the LSATs so she was out--and decided to spend some quality time on Block Island for 4 days with the love of my life--see ya next year!

    And make sure someone posts some pics of the BBCE booth

    Thank you for the nice gesture and appreciate the offer, and if not save my packs and I will open them in front of the group on Friday. Just don’t let Manny grab the cool unopened wax early like last year - that box was a sweet pickup!

    So jealous I can't make it . My girlfriend bought tickets to the Yanks Sox game this weekend and I didn't have the heart to tell her it was the week of the national. This is after she bought me tickets to a hockey game the perfect present in my eyes but I've had tickets to the same game on the fridge for 2 months. She tries real hard though so its not all bad.
