Nah, I'll be easy to spot, tall, chubby old guy with gray hair and beard. Or watch for my logo on my table.I’ll try! I’ll just walk around screaming “DOUG535!!!! DOUG535!!!!” over and over until someone answers
So, you look just like every person there…..got it
Hey now! Not all of us are tall.So, you look just like every person there…..got it
Up until just a couple days ago I was hopeful and very much looking forward to it…but…in the end had to accept the reality. No go for me this year. Those who are going, I’m a little jealous!..And somewhat disappointed in myself that I didn’t do more a while back when maybe I could’ve worked it out…but such is life.
I’ll be channeling my energy through the infamous Alaskanpiper who will be there both physically and spiritually lollllll

Well, I'm a short, more than a little chubby old guy, with white hair and a beard. But you all know what I look like, so say "Hi" and introduce yourself. I'll be one of the people checking you in at the show registration table.
Still making things for the table. Running out of time.
AS much I love Chicago pipe show and was attending it last several years.,extreme changes in ticket prices are telling me not to visit at all this year..What happened to 20$ tickets for Sat and Sun last year?Now it is 50$ For Sat and 25$ for Sun.And if I want to visit just M.Irwin presentation on Fri from 4-5Pm I have to pay another 50$ for Fri all day ticket!Swap &smoke on Fri where I was able to sell pipe or 2 or tobacco tin to help me finance gas expense driving across half of a continent was moved to Sun afternoon when most people already bought their pipes or left.changes this year are ridicules..What made organizers to raise the ticket prices 300+%?I sure aint paying for sanctuary city!But you guys enjoy the show
The Show’s not cheap but it’s also not nearly as expensive as what you said suggests. The way I read it a single fifty buck ticket covers all the stuff you mention. And if you drink the net cost for the actual Show access, tent access, seminars, etc is really only $26 since you get a $24 credit for booze:
Thanks! I Will. IMO $50 bucks is a great value for 4 days of smoke filled fun.
The $50 is entry for all events Thur thru Sun and does include $25 in drink tickets for the hotel.
$25 is for Sunday only show floor and smoking tent.
The club does lament that neither attendance nor exhibiting is as inexpensive as it has been in the past, but A. What is, and B. This is a much nicer and closer to the city facility than has been available to us previously.

Thanks for showing me this flyer..I swear I've seen a different one saying tickets are 50$ each day and 25 $ on SUN..or I may have simply missunderstud..its possible..
I do not disagree.But same smoked filled fun costed me 20 bucks just last year and I was still able partially reimburse my 1100miles one way gas expense with small profit selling a pipe or 2 at Fri swap & smoke.So 150% price increase for the same fun this year..
Thanks for the info..I likely missunderstud the ticket prices..

For me, flying in from Philly, the rise in admission is more than made up by getting rid of the limo cost from the airport to Pheasant Run or Lincolnshire.
All set to arrive Friday afternoon. I see significant changes to the schedule, which are improvements for me: the Swap has moved from before the Show to later - this should help the vendors who have paid for show tables, when customers don't shoot their wad before the main event. And the Slow Smoke is Saturday, thereby no causing schedule binds for folks needing to fly or drive home on Sunday. My roomie got beset by famblyt issues, but I'm a coming anyway.
Not to mention, the slow smoke not during floor hours! I fought hard for that. Such a great idea.
