They could ask the remodeling contractor set up at the show to take care of it

The footprint is smaller this year. Maybe they don't want people to see that in black & white on the floor plan

And so began the Lasik Wars

If they let greggy in, they'll let anyone in. You're good to go

Set-up day and Wizard still doesn't have their viewable floor up

Congrats on 15 years on the boards ...noob

This. The whole point of going on preview night is to get first crack at dealers' inventory that hasn't been picked through by other dealers or sharks like greggy

Momoa, Baccarin, and a couple of others cancelled

Yes

One week away

And so you have

Details: Friday Aug 23 8 PM at Blu Fish Sushi Bistro in Park Ridge. It's a few minutes from the convention center, and very easy to get to. Here's the address to input into your GPS device: Blu Fish Sushi Bistro 130 N Northwest Hwy. Park Ridge, IL 60068 (847) 720-4479 It's located in a small strip mall right near a Lenscrafters, so it shouldn't be too difficult to locate Their sushi is excellent. A group of us local collectors meet there for dinner every month and always have a great time. If you have any questions about pricing, click on the "Menu" tab on the link I posted and it'll give you a pretty good idea what to expect. Hope to see everyone there **The group will be seated in an area called "the lounge". If you enter the restaurant from the street, it's immediately to your right. If you enter from the parking lot, it's at the opposite end of the restaurant and to the left. Tell the person working the front of the house that you're there for "the group in the lounge". They'll know what you mean** People attending TheWatcher Logan510 & Emily greggy Pedigreeman Sharkey

That's exquisite!

Dah-um!

'08 was the first year for the Greektown dinner. The '09 dinner took place a month after Nik passed

Those are some AMAZING books

The Greektown dinner that year was legendary for a few reasons, one was you face-planting yourself on a Chicago sidewalk

My favorite Nik memory was WW Chicago '08. Nik, Arex, and Danny arrived together for that con. Nik and Arex were like a comedy team. They made me laugh that entire show, usually by ripping on Danny

And so it began (on page 4)...
