Anyone going to the St. Louis Show?

ColonialCoinUnion · October 10, 2006 9:36AM

Much to my surprise, I am.

Coxe · October 10, 2006 9:40AM

I was going to fly in, but am having to much fun cherrypicking eBay. So a drive out to the Vegas show will replace St. Louis. Not sure on Baltimore, but unlikely. Gotta button up FUN though.

<< Does St. Charles count?

If so, I'm in. >>

Tough crowd.

Whats the skinny on this show? Where do you stay? Whats the food like?

I hear the Major Midwest Collector(TM) is in that area.

FatMan · October 10, 2006 10:01AM

When and where?

pbfloyd · October 10, 2006 10:01AM

Whats the time and date? That is driving distance from me.

Oh.

So, should I skip it?

I will be there. It is a neat show, but you may suffer a bit of culture shock (if comparing to a Baltimore or Boston show).

numisma · October 10, 2006 10:03AM

BTW, St. Louis is a great town!

FatMan · October 10, 2006 10:14AM

Thanks Mark.

Okay, you are correct, but I can still be angry about it.

Feel free to PM me with any questions about the show, locale, what languages are spoken in St. Charles County, visa requirements, recommended immunizations and prophylaxis, etc.

Hey,
What did you mean by all that RYK? My son's godfather, a best friend of mine for 30 years, lives in St. Louis. I've traveled there dozens of times. Nothing, I mean NOTHING out of the ordinary there folks. Your childhood shots will still be fine. Don't use large words.

Edit for wink.

Coxe · October 10, 2006 10:37AM

I think he was referring to St. Charles, not central St. Louis.

segoja · October 10, 2006 10:39AM

We'll be there!

Table 110!

kcnovice · October 10, 2006 10:41AM

I 'll be there Thursday. Mostly just to look

edit for day change

<< Hey RYK, will you have your "terrible towel" with you? Or are you done for the year????

He can have mine back!

Let me count how many Super Bowls the Jets have won....none that I can remember (I was three years old when SB III was played).

i've given up on this show, though i went a couple times the last couple of years. it's nothing like the OLD silver dollar show like what they had some 20 years ago. however, st. chuck mo is pretty decent, not as nice as our st. chuck on the illinois side, but downtown by the riverfront in the old city, they've got some pretty cool places to hang out. check out a couple of the steakhouses on the river. (sorry can't give directions how to get there)

but sorry, that coin show sucks (so far). the auction put on by the scotsman boys is not that great either. all in all, not worth the drive for me.

Dorkkarl,
Are you looking for a coin show or a steakhouse that you can hangout in? I've attended the Saint Louis show many times and enjoyed it.

Hey! I posted immediately after that, and before your post, saying that STL is a great town (city actually). I grew up about 100 miles SW of there and visited often. I only meant that.....well, I was trying to say......ummmm..........if you want lobster.......

It is a great town and the new hotel connected to the convention center is very nice. I stayed there the first night they were open for business.

AU58WALKERS · October 11, 2006 6:19AM

I'll be there...to feed my addiction.

agentjim007 · October 11, 2006 6:34AM

This show is in St. Charles...right?

numisma · October 11, 2006 7:27AM

Yes, but just outside of St. Louis.

Not after the Cardinals beat the Mets. It will be the place to be ( World Series).
