Julian · February 17, 2009 3:47AM

I will be at table #300 and would welcome all attendees to stop by and say hello. Who else is going?

MidLifeCrisis · February 17, 2009 3:49AM

Portland is just too far away...gotta save my money for Baltimore.

blu62vette · February 17, 2009 3:50AM

I am going want to take the advanced morgan dollar course, will stop by!

mgoodm3 · February 17, 2009 3:50AM

I should be there Sat doing some pics at the CRO table. Want to be there Th/Fr, but it ain't goign to happen.

ColonialCoinUnion · February 17, 2009 3:51AM

We'll be there at table #318.

claychaser · February 17, 2009 3:51AM

TrainNut (YN) convinced me (and more importantly, Mrs. Claychaser) that we should attend, and that he can learn more there than in school!

WTCG · February 17, 2009 4:01AM

I will be there from Thursday until Saturday.

SeattleSlammer · February 17, 2009 4:11AM

Heck yes!

Dennis88 · February 17, 2009 4:14AM

Nope

STONE · February 17, 2009 4:21AM

nada

Longacre · February 17, 2009 4:24AM

The Numismatic Recession has me down, so I cannot attend.

I do plan to go to Baltimore, and am seriously thinking of taking Amtrak like the CEOs of the investment banks, rather than flying.

Amtrak is too fancy - you should be taking Greyhound.

Jsayre · February 17, 2009 4:26AM

I am hoping to go but I am now confused as to what the dates are. I thought it was march 10th and 11th, is this correct?

Bite your tongue. Even Longacre has his limits during the recession.

March 13-15 are the days the bourse is open to the public.

SeattleSlammer · February 17, 2009 4:37AM

Jsayre · February 17, 2009 4:48AM

Thanks Seatle Slammer. The paper I have said the show was the 10-11th so I appreciate the response.

WTCG · February 17, 2009 4:51AM

That's for the pre-show at a hotel near the airport.

RichieURich · February 17, 2009 5:05AM

I will be at the Portland ANA at table #522 and will be happy to see both familiar faces and meet new people! Stop by and pick up my storecard which features the obverse of an 1823/2 quarter.

Edit to add: I will be at the Baltimore show also, as usual!

mustanggt · February 17, 2009 5:11AM

See you on Friday...

that quarter (storecard) is screaming "Yo quiero Taco Bell"

ModernCoinMart · February 17, 2009 6:03AM

Hope it'll be a good show, but we won't be there...

clarkbar04 · February 17, 2009 6:21AM

I am definitely going to pencil this in on my calendar.

dbldie55 · February 17, 2009 6:25AM

I attended the Portland show in 2004, planning on LA this year. I will even get to attend from the "other" side of the table as I will be working a table with my local dealer.

Hope I am still employed. One can only guess what the next disastrous step the clowns in power will take to try to create a welfare state.

Meltdown · February 17, 2009 6:44AM

I'm going because I live here in the Rose City.
I'm even thinking about wearing a "fanny pack" for my stuff and a name tag with my Franklin avatar on it.

I'm going to fit right in. I might not even shower for a few days beforehand.

Fairlaneman · February 17, 2009 6:59AM

Will go to the pre-show for sure. Had great luck at the pre-show last time and found nothing at the main show. We will see how it goes this time.

Ken

Julian · February 17, 2009 7:03AM

I promise you that the Spring ANA will put to shame the pre-show, by far!!

MrEureka · February 17, 2009 7:08AM

Julian - I will stop by your table. Bring patterns!

DRUNNER · February 17, 2009 7:10AM

I'll be there . . . .

Drunner

Fairlaneman · February 17, 2009 7:14AM

<< I promise you that the Spring ANA will put to shame the pre-show, by far!! >>

Thats what I thought last time it was in Portland. The main show was missing dealers that were suppose to be there and maybe that put a damper on my show experience.

mozin · February 17, 2009 8:28AM

I will attend the pre-show at opening, and stay for several hours. It is at a convenient hotel location, which usually has ample parking. I will be at the ANA Money Show most open hours from dealer setup time through at least late Saturday.

For those that do not know their way around Portland, I suggest taking Max, the light rail. It stops almost at the ANA convention door. You can catch Max from the airport, from downtown Portland, West of Portland, and East of Portland. There are many free Park and Ride locations adjacent to Max stops. If you want to pay $8 to park in the Convention Center lot, there should be ample room. You will have a longer walk to the convention doorway. Nearby on-street parking is a big gamble.

Jsayre · February 17, 2009 8:52AM

What is the difference between the pre show and the actual show?

bidask · February 17, 2009 8:54AM

For the adventurous, take a 85 mile ride to the coast ( Cannon Beach) from Portland and watch the pacific ocean winter storms. I use to live on the coast up there.

cupronik · February 17, 2009 9:55AM

Of course I'll be there!

mozin · February 17, 2009 1:33PM

<< What is the difference between the pre show and the actual show? >>

The pre-show is not ANA sponsored. I think it is put on by Dave Schmidt, the fellow that puts on most of the shows in the Northwest.

ArizonaJack · February 17, 2009 1:39PM

Just missed 2 weeks of work due to pnuemonia, this is going to be a hard sell with the boss, but i"ll try

Dave99B · February 17, 2009 2:16PM

Seattle, WA to Portland, OR via a '98 Toyota Tacoma......approx 2 hours 50 minutes at 70 MPH.

I'll be there, no doubt about it, IF I get permission from the woman.

Dave

Swampboy · February 17, 2009 2:21PM

HeyDave99B, 2 hours and 50 minutes from Seattle sounds about right except for the stop at Country Cousins in Centralia for pot roast thursday night. Yum.

evsite · February 17, 2009 2:35PM

I'll definitely be there. Its about a 15 minute walk for me...........

......hey, I resemble that comment!
....maybe all board members could wear bright pink fanny packs?

claychaser · February 19, 2009 11:34PM

Anybody else?

You'll need a porch pass.

mozin · February 22, 2009 12:20PM

You can find me behind Sheridan Downey's tables #905 & #907. I will be assisting Sheridan.

JustMakesCents · February 22, 2009 12:59PM

Flying out from Kansas on Thursday and heading back on Sunday. Hope to meet some of you that I've missed before. I'm going out by myself, so if anyone lines up some dinner get-togethers for Friday & Saturday, I'm game.

Jeff

ScarsdaleCoin · February 22, 2009 9:26PM

We will be at our table # 612 stop over and say hello!

mustanggt · March 4, 2009 11:42AM

This event is next week, is anyone else planning to attend?

Fletcher · March 4, 2009 11:55AM

I'm going

Halfsense · March 4, 2009 12:10PM
