Is anyone planning on going to the Chicago show? I'll be heading down there Sat. morning, and coming back that night. Going to be spending some money! More of MMA's money for banquet items, not too much of my own. [smilie=brickwall.gif]

I work :(. I'm not really a big fan of this show though as it is pretty crowded and I'm not a huge 'new bait' guy. I haven't attended the swap yet so that is definitely on my list for next year.

The swap is definately where it all happens. It is one of the main reasons I like to go. Other reasons are:
– Picking up a lot of the banquet items
– Catching up with friends from out-of-state, or across state
– The lunch. Lunch is always a great time (although I missed it last year). The more the merrier there. I believe one year we have 14 people eating at a Chinese joint. A lot of MMA guys, and friends, and friends of friends.
Only bummer about this trip, is no Witchdoctor this time. He's always a riot to hang out with.

Ill have lures there in Guides Choice but that is it. I am too busy building baits right now to make it down there. Those Canadians are gearing up for the world record hunt. Cool

Whoever goes, remember to put you wallet in a safer spot than your back pocket. I recall hearing word of a lot of people getting pick pocketed there last year.

Kinda creeps out the vendors when you unzip your fly to get your wallet…

Hey, whatever works. I know it would keep me from trying to take your money.

It's worse when you don't have a wallet and make them reach to get their money.

Did that cross the line? Man, it's great not being president and being able to say what I want.
