Anyone have any suggestions on how to meet fellow C.U. board members at a coin show?

It would be a shame to pass a board member at a show and not getting to say hello...
do we need to implement some sort of identification? any ideas?

    Just look for the coin collectors hanging out in the bars after the show closes for the night... They are the forum members!!!
    It is not exactly cheating, I prefer to consider it creative problem solving!!!

    I recommend the same 'wearing a trenchcoat, hiding behind a large concrete column and clicking a flashlight' methodology used in 'Trading Places'.

    I just make arrangements beforehand to meet at a specific time/place. And sometimes I find them quite by surprise. I'll just mention the board and find out that someone around me is a member, too.

    Just put a sign on your back that says "Kick Me, I'm a CU Forum Member"

    When you're as ugly as I am, everyone at the show will know you!

    Really, just post here that you will be attending a show and an easy to meet at area, such as the show entrance, and people will show up!

    PS, Don't believe Marty about the bars. He is a one and done fella!image

    A couple of years ago PCGS actually produced some pins for whoever was going to long beach so forum members could find one another.

    A lot of shows require you to wear a name badge... how about if you write your forum nickname under your real name?

    I'm sure I have walked by a lot of forum members at shows in St. Louis and not known it. A pin would also be a good idea.

    That's what I do.

    A great ice-breaker in a conversation! image

    Tumuss - It's not too late for the pooch! I think we can save him with the Heimlich maneuver!

    I've seen members make arrangements about meeting on a thread for whatever coin show it pertains to.
