    Do you think we should make a more official thread to nail down who's going to the game, and maybe start collecting money for tickets?

    Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend the National this year after all. Can't drive long distances or fly for a few months. image

    My son and I are still planning on going. I need to make some travel plans though!
  • I just saw this thread and as a semi-Cleveland guy I can offer suggestions if anybody wants. I will be on a stupid cruise during this show so I won't be around, unfortunately.

    So are most people staying downtown and how many of them will have cars at their disposal?

    Thought I would revive this thread....has anything been officially planned?
    My son and I are headed up for the whole week. We are planning on going to a game in Cincinnati as well as an Indians game and of course the Football HOF.

    What's everyone else doing?

  • I find that the best part of the National is the social stuff around the show. I will be in Cleveland from Wed night thru Sat morning, but I'm already planning my evening activities. I am going downtown to enjoy the nightlife, though !!!

    Last year in Chicago, I coordinated a meet-up for all vintage card & memorabilia collectors. I picked a restaurant that was a mile or two from the convention center. No one really showed up, because most people had flown in and stayed at a hotel within walking distance to the show. In hindsight, I should have picked a restaurant within walking distance of the hotels & show. Oh well - live and learn. The Cleveland expo center is in the middle of nowhere, so that idea won't work. I'm still debating if I'm coordinating any meet-up.

    Is it bad form that we bring stuff to sell or trade during our meet and greet?

    Clemaz, Myself, MBMiller and Samspop decided to skip the Indians game on friday night. We were pretty tired walking around the show for 8.5 straight hours. I guess it was a good thing we didn't go to the game because it went 13 innings.
