    Wow
    Beautiful and fantastic report, Charmy.
    As usual. Love all your detailed stops and mentionable people. Your taste in food and wine is as magnificent as your taste in the best of coins you have in your inventory.
    Your interesting reports has always mentally placed me at the event itself.
    Feels that way, anyway. Thanks.
    May you continue to explore these shows, not only for your own enjoyment but for ours, as well.
    Maybe, see ya at the upcoming show in Chicago (Rosemont area)?
    I know the ANA won't be here this year but
    hopefully, you will with all your expertise attributes and sparkling personality.
    Stay safe dear.
    Love Joeykoins.

    @joeykoins - that was really sweet and kind of you! Yes I look forward to being at the Chicago show in late April in Schaumburg (the ANA won't be in Rosemont this year, they'll be in Pittsburgh). Thank you!

    Next time, I'll give you a better smile. One can see the strain of my trip to the show on my face, particularly the grueling last 200 yards.

    Always nice to see Penny at the end. Here's two of my cats, Boots and Zorra.

    @lordmarcovan - those are adorable little Penny kitties!

    Just the one. Two pix, same cat, taken two years apart.

    She is Penny #2, though. We had an earlier cat named Penny.

    This one is a "special needs" kitty, handicapped due to cerebellar hypoplasia.

    Went by your table many times, but didn't wish to interrupt to say hello. Glad the show was successful for you!

    Sorry I didn't get to say hi and chat for a minute - hope to see you at the next show!> @lilolme said:

    Thanks. 2 of our 4 dinners were also at maggiano's and capital grille but we were at the bar eaters. The chain cent is cool and I have thought for a long time about getting an old slot machine but never 'pulled the arm' and got one. Oh I have a struck through cork this time (last time was a delamination cork) but I won't post another cork here - well unless you really want to see it. :)

    I love that slot machine, it matches my decor! It's from the 1930's and is called a War Eagle. I only use "period" mercury dimes in it. Btw, that guitar next to the slot machine is signed by Tom Petty - my hubby and I are huge fans of Petty!

    @ThePennyLady I wanted to wait until the thread slowed down to go off topic slightly.

    That is a neat idea on the mercury dimes for the slot machine. I wondered if an extra thin AG barber would work.

    The signed guitar is kind of the perfect instrument for signatures as it has that flat space and displays well with the face of the guitar.

    Tom Petty fan. Do you do any of the YouTube videos? I can sometimes get addicted to them on a night. Send the video through the TV and the audio through the stereo / sound system. Get a 'refreshment' and many are somewhat good. Here is Tom Petty at the 1982 US festival - hope you like it (I like a lot of the live concerts).

    Great trip report! Love the photos and the people!

    Never saw this tumbler before but love it!

  • ThePennyLadyThePennyLady Posts: 4,481 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Thanks for sharing the video, it's great - though I don't really "surf" Youtube videos that much. I can use most non-damaged dimes in the slot machine, including Barbers but I just choose to use Mercury dimes.

    You've got to hear Heart's "Live in Seattle" concert. Fantastic.
