AXPONA anyone?

All I can say is it's about time. I’m glad the venue is up north because while downtown Chicago is amazing, dealing with the likes of paying parking meter fees of $6.00 an hour if you’re lucky enough to find street parking is a bit beyond the bucket.

I'm thinking about going Saturday only. No firm plans yet, but thinking very seriously.

Skip the Chicago show, head for the big time with the show in New York on April 12th. There are plenty of cheap air fares available and the nite life is much better. Remember, the murder rate in New York City is much lower. Take care.

I am going, my first show ever. I live in Chicago's northern suburbs, so it is an easy decision for me. I'm excited about it. Should be fun.

Buconero, the murder rate in Rosemont, where the Axpona show is being held, is likely nonexistent, unless you cross the mob that allegedly runs the town. But remember, in the bad parts of Chicago (I hear there are a few), walking will keep you healthy, but running can save your life!

Plenty of good restaurants and such. Parking isn't free but have you priced it in Manhattan lately? $35 for half an hour in midtown, and the Lincoln Tunnel toll was $12. Now that's extortion.

Looking forward to a GREAT show here in the Windy City.
