I'm dying to go, but waited too long to make arrangements.

I'm driving up early tomorrow morning and back early Friday morning. I'm in for the joinery seminar Thursday.

There was a fairly dramatic decrease in attendance for the last show in 2009 so I'm looking forward to seeing if that affects the number/quality of vendors there this year. Actually, in times such as this, it sometimes opens up the opportunity for lesser known, smaller, or more specialty companies to give it a try and if that's the case, it will be well worth it. It's great to see all of the 'power-house' companies, but, for the most part, I'm already familiar with what they offer and am always open to the more obscure, if that's how it plays out.

Convinced swmbo to come with me and now need to keep reminding her that I'm going for the show. Based upon a previous post here, we may try the Golden Steer one of the nights. Also read here that the Bootlegger Bistro and Rosemary's Restaurant may be good choices as well.

For anyone going, hope you enjoy the show and find some good stuff.
