I don't think you can do the show in one day.
One day for the venders.
A lot of your favorite venders will be selling.
One day for the boat tours.


If you run into Rich Hutchins, buy him an expensive show side beer and dipped beef sandwitch with peppers.
I wish I was going. Have fun. Watch the car parking $50 a day if your lucky. But park under the Hotel in the parking garage with your room. But be sure to ask and get it in writing! Your expected to tip. $5 per bag. And buy the breakfast spread alacart. My buddy did not know that and started to put his food back when he found out that his banana was $3.00. You should have seen the waiter choke. Pompus ass.

skip.

My wife and I will be there on Saturday, taking the MegaBus from Minneapolis overnight. We'll be there at least from open until 3pm if not later if anyone wants to meet up, send me a PM and we can exchange phone numbers. This will be our first time going.
