Personally, I'm looking forward to all the great layouts set up and maybe pick up a deal or two if I come across any.  Who's going and what are you looking for?

I had to push back to Sunday, but I will be there. I am looking to meet up with Bryan at ESM, get the latest gossip over at Bachmann, lament the shortened NHL season with Cory over at Atlas and pretty much be a paint in the a$$ to Athearn and Walthers.

Actually I plan to photograph everything new and announced. I hope to be able to post it live on model160 - right Mike?

If anyone would like to meet up, I could always use a beer or two after the show.

I will be there both days.

And we wonder why they roll their eyes at us.....

I will be there.

I say that every year that I will take alot of pictures, but with 20,000 people shoving you and crowding around you its difficult. You need to be a vendor and get in there Friday and check out things. I will bring the camera again and maybe leave the kids at home

I'm in.

Unfortunately I won't be there to heckle the CRHS this year.

Oh, so tempting...  It is the best show I have ever been too, and the last time I went was 1994.

[daniel_leavitt2000]

Its about 4 times larger than 1994. The new Mallary building is as big as the Better Living Center. I think its over three acres now.

And I heard that there might be plans to replace the Big-E with a . . . casino!  WTF?!  Why don't they pick some underdeveloped location instead!?

[Scottl]

Hmm, really tempting.

[VirginaCSX]

I'm in for two days.  There are so many temtations that it takes that long to see everything.  My pockets will be empty and my bags full when I eventually leave.  Oh and there are many layouts to see too!

[seusscaboose]

just to be clear.. we're talking about layouts at the show.. and not home layouts....right

I am hoping a local A$$hat will coordinate at the date draws near...  there's gotta be at least one worthwhile home layout up there...  for a sat pm visit... 

Does anyone up there do op's or have a basement empire?

I'm planning on going Saturday.

My big decision is to drive up the night before or get up real early and drive up from central NJ.
