Chicago 2024: Who's going?

[Streeper541]

I just booked a room for the Chicago Pipe Show. This will be my first time attending. Pretty excited about it.

Anyone else from the forums planning on going?

My wife and I will both be there, volunteering for the host club. Look for us at doorways and tables throughout the show!

 

[jguss]

I’m in

 

[scloyd]

I'll probably stop by for a couple of hours on Saturday.

Any links to the event?

@bent1 , here you go: Chicago Pipe Show - http://www.chicagopipeshow.com/

Booked my flight about two hours ago. This is going to be my first pipe show ever. Looking forward to it.

Oh man, you guys will have an absolute blast. Last year was my first as well, it’s overwhelmingly fun!

My wife will probably only let me get away with 1 show this year (hopefully PER year!) so this year I’m gonna shoot for Vegas.

I'm not going but I wish I was.

I've been debating going for a few years. I was planning on going the year that Covid happened and everything got shut down.

I generally go to the NASPC show in Columbus each year as it's only about an hour and a half drive.

Toying around with the idea of going to Chicago again and was speaking with Mark Irwin about some Peterson's. Found out that He was going to be giving a presentation on a topic I was quite interested in and that there will be a CPG sell/ swamp. Decided I couldn't pass it up.

Thinking about it.

I’m planning on attending Thursday to Monday.

If I don't get too disappointed with the Chicago show (which I probably won't :D), I will start planning for the Vagas show. Not sure whether this year though.

I do believe that I will be there.

 

[condorlover1]

I might put in a guest appearance. I wonder if @Jim Inks is going?

 

[sfduke]

No Chicago here. Only Vegas this year.

 

[Butter Side Down]

I'll be there. Not sure which days yet. Don't need to book a room because it's only a 20 minute drive from my house.

I'm hoping they do the pipemaking workshop again this year. If they do, I'll definitely make an effort to get there for that.

Can we crash with you?

Looks like they are. 9am-4pm, Wed-Thu.

A no for me.

 

[HeavyLeadBelly]

I was thinking about swing down on Saturday. I’m not seeing ticket prices for one day, I must be blind…

 

[Laurent]

I will be there! I will also be at the Columbus with a table. Can’t wait to see some of you, put faces with names.
