Long Beach....who's planning on going?

DesertRat · August 3, 2004 2:16PM

If I am not mistaken the Long Beach Ca. show is coming up next month. I have never attended a coin show before but will probably take off a day (or more) and check it out.

Even though I have been a member of this forum for almost a year now I have not been very active until this past week when for whatever reason the coin bug came out of remission. I don't know any of you beyond your posts, but I am truly impressed with the depth of knowledge represented here and would be honored to meet some of you if you are planning on heading to LB.

Bear · August 3, 2004 2:25PM

Buzz, I will be attending. As we get closer to the date of the show, we

generally set up a time and a place to meet for lunch. I hope to see you there.

pursuitofliberty · August 3, 2004 2:30PM

Buzz and Bear,

Keep me in mind as well ... not to far a shot for me and I haven't been to one in a while.

ElectricEye · August 3, 2004 2:31PM

I would go but I am afraid of Cameron Kiefer.

TahoeDale · August 3, 2004 2:35PM

DesertRat,

I will be there, and usually attend all California shows. As Bear indicated, all interested can meet at the show-predetermined spot.

The one person you should try to visit with is Mark Feld, now an independent dealer and forum expert.

It will be intimidating at first, but you will love it before you have been there half a day.

Bear · August 3, 2004 2:41PM

Maybe we can all get together and throw water balloons at Marc to sort of launch him.

Like launching a new ship.

kyleknap · August 3, 2004 3:07PM

Will be there Thurs thru Sat.

Kyle

Reece · August 3, 2004 3:10PM

Bear · August 3, 2004 3:23PM

How does Thursday at 11:30 AM at the information desk just inside the Hall sound?

We can go for lunch next door at the hotel for lunch.

Elcontador · August 3, 2004 3:28PM

I'll have to pass, but I have an excellent reason. I will be in Portugal!

FrattLaw · August 3, 2004 3:50PM

I'll be there! I might even stay Wednesday night in a hotel since my wife will be outta town.

Michael

jbsteven · August 3, 2004 8:41PM

DesertRat · August 4, 2004 12:29PM

I am available to go any day or time. Let's get a consensus of what day and time would be best for the majority and then come to a decision. Damn democracy!

coinbuf · August 4, 2004 12:49PM

I wish I could go

Its not too far from Phx but I'm too busy right now.

Chris

Reece · August 4, 2004 12:51PM

How about Fri. @ 12:00 at the info. table? Reece Kimes

Bear · August 4, 2004 1:14PM

Sounds good to me. Im in.

alergar · August 4, 2004 4:18PM

I going to try to make it, but I missed the other two LB shows this year because of work.

DesertRat · August 5, 2004 1:03PM

Friday noon works for me

Bikingnut · August 5, 2004 1:56PM

I may go if I'm still in Southern California, and if I'm not unemployed.

Strat · August 5, 2004 2:49PM

I'll be there, Wed. through Sat., and will try to make it to lunch on Friday.

kyleknap · August 5, 2004 2:53PM

Friday at noon works great. And may I recommend the Rock Bottom Brewery across the street from the convention hall. Great food and very reasonable.

Kyle

Strat · August 5, 2004 3:07PM

<< may I recommend the Rock Bottom Brewery >>

Make that TWO recommendations!

DesertRat · August 6, 2004 12:41AM

Any establishment with "Brewery" in the title has my vote!

techeff · August 6, 2004 4:19AM

I'll be there - lurking as usual...

Numismanic · August 6, 2004 4:26AM

I will be there on Thursday.

relayer · August 6, 2004 4:30AM

I'll be there lurking as well.

I'm not a morning person so I'll be lucky if I leave the house by noon.

majorbigtime · August 6, 2004 10:51AM

I attend most LB shows, but am considered to be a leper on these boards.

Maybe you should organize a lunch (Dutch treat)_for interested board members at Island Burgers, right across the street?

jdimmick · August 6, 2004 10:56AM

I will be thier from Early AM Wed thru late evening saturday. Also plan on attending Ken's 7:30pm friday night board member get together at the brew pub.

I will be helping Steve Elwood at his table also!

tmot99 · August 6, 2004 11:22AM

When is it exactly? I will be in Denmark for part of September, but would like to fly out for a day or two if I'm in the US.

DesertRat · August 6, 2004 11:25AM

September 8-11. No sunday this time

tmot99 · August 6, 2004 11:29AM

Never mind. That is the exact same time I'm in Denmark.

rkfish · August 6, 2004 11:37AM

Larry and I will be there.......sharing a table (#530) with Don Rinkor.

Stop by and say "hello"

techeff · August 6, 2004 12:53PM

MBT, You bringing your C-Note? You can buy us lunch with it...

clw54 · August 6, 2004 1:20PM

I plan on going. Probably Thursday and Saturday.

majorbigtime · August 6, 2004 1:40PM

Good idea, but it's Exhibit A!!

melikecoins · August 6, 2004 2:01PM

That works for me also...don't drink but I'm sure they have water

boyhowdy · August 7, 2004 4:48AM

I'll be there Thursday. I'm going to put a sticker on my chest (one of those "Hello my name is...")
with my eBay name on it. Should be fun to see if anyone stops me.

Steve

Cameron Kiefer

100proof1957 · August 22, 2004 11:00PM

only day i can go

coynclecter · August 22, 2004 11:40PM

I'll be there as usual. I will have some coins for sale and I will post a list before I go.

I remember we had a nice group a couple of years back and we all went to dinner after. The highlight though was when Jim Swan was kind enough to show us some coins he brought. If I remember some of the highlights like (all PCGS)

SL Half MS68
3 legged Buff MS65(or66)
1955 DD centMS66Rd
1839O Half MS64

and I lot more , all PQ that topped most all of the coins at the show. It was a great time

Now it would be nice if Mr. Swan would be kind enough to meet and share a few pieces of eye candy; but I don't know if he even posts on these boards anymore.

Anyway, see everyone there.
Mark

100proof1957 · August 22, 2004 11:46PM

Too much work. Sorry. I might not even have time for lunch since I'll be there just one day.
