    I'm not a dealer, but the show is at the convention center, just two blocks from my office (and where I have a parking lease!)

    I'll blow off work on Friday and hang out over there for the day!

    Definitely. Western Pennsylvania has a decent base of collectors, and we have had success there. My table is already paid for!

    Good luck getting tickets ... Heinz Field is less than a mile from the convention center.

    Also the fairly new Rivers Casino is about 20 minutes walking distance from the Lawrence Convention Center, and in good weather it's a lovely walk along riverside paths.

    Why hasn't anybody here yet mentioned the possibility that the Pittsburgh Pirates could be playing in the World Series right around the time of the ANA Convention? PNC Park where the Pirates play their home games is just down a ways and across the bridge from the Lawrence Convention Center. Heinz Field for the Steelers is a little further on down, and after that is Rivers Casino; you can easily visit all four venues on foot within a short time. And aren't the Pirates a good bet to make it into the World Series after a record 18 straight seasons below .500?

    That's the host hotel and without the group rate rooms are obscenely overpriced.

    Don't forget that trip to Boston for the Bay State Show the week before Baltimore.

    Lucky for us on the coast if we want to experience the Midwest we can do that by driving east for two hours. It's flat, hot, dusty and it's got oodles of marginal looking gals...image

    Just booked the room seconds ago using Starpoints. Looks like the hotel still has rooms available but they are charging the $325/ night rack rate.
