It's not too early to ask who will be going to the FUN show

in U.S. Coin Forum
Normally these posts about who's going to Show X are posted a week or two in advance, and not 4 weeks as this thread currently entails.
The reason for my posting this so early is for a couple reasons:

1) There hasn't been another thread on this yet, and I've grown too impatient to wait any longer!
2) I think these boards will be fairly quiet during the Hanukkah/Christmas/New Years period

And as such, I feel that posting this thread so early, for such a large show, is reasonable. (not everyone will agree)

Anyway, post here if you are definitely going to attend, probably going to attend, might attend, thought about attending, dreampt about the girls in my icon,....Ooops, wait, I got side-tracked, back to the topic at hand. imageimage


I will let everyone know now, that I will be attending Wednesday through Friday, and I will be eagerly looking forward to it image

    I'll be there Wednesday afternoon [ looking at Heritage's auction lots ] -
    Thursday morning at the breakfast at Denny's - Thursday on the Bourse -
    Thursday night auction - Friday morning Bourse - PCGS Luncheon - then
    the BCCS meeting [ room 322 ] at 3PM. I leave for home around 5:00 Friday.

    BTW - Breakfast at Denny's is at 8:30 - also - send me a PM if you're going to
    the breakfast so I can reserve a large enough table - or - different groups can
    manage alone. What ever works is fine with me.

    I'm really looking forward to be seeing Dale's CBH's. at the PCGS Tables.

    I'm there for the whole week...and probably at the breakfast at Denny's as well. Last year was a lot of fun.

    the breakfast so I can reserve a large enough table - or - different groups can
