Time to start talking up the show, since it's coming up fast.

Not as big a deal as a 60th show, but this will be the 5th since Paul retired...

Show is at the normal place, the Holiday Inn and Suites in Carol Stream.

Show is Friday afternoon/evening and Saturday morning/afternoon.

There will be a dinner gathering again at Alberto's Restaurant in the hotel. I think they are still doing the BBQ Buffet on Fridays.

And yes, there will be promos. But that's a subject for another post...

Details at our website

Try the code CNS, and the rate should be $69.95.

But, I cannot confirm either as I'm traveling this week and don't have my contact's email to verify.

As soon as I get back I'll find out for you.

$75 for a standard room
$85 for a jr Suite

Tell us then?? Is it Bates Motel or Grimm Season 2???

Keep it TOP SECRET.

Reveal it only when we enter the door at the show.

This suggestion is bound to make me popular.

Less than a month until the show.

So much to do...

Ed

For general information for those that find NSU hard to get at retail...

I've ordered extras of the current issue to be sure I have enough for the Chicago Show.

So, if you don't subscribe, you can pick one up at the show.

Ed

We will again be having dinner at Alberto's restaurant inside the Holiday Inn and Suites in Carol Stream. Nothing formal, just a chance to hang out with other collectors.

This season's Friday Night Special at Alberto's is a seafood buffet. So, if that's your thing, you're in luck. If it's not your thing, they have a full menu as well.
