    Does anyone know the name of the original movie that this quote is in reference to?

    Correct, well done! One of the few movies where a father and son are part of the same movie. Walter and John Houston.

    I'm in got me a room at the Extended Stay by Woodfield mall only a 25 minute walk from the show and a 2 day pass, I think my wife might attend if she's off that weekend see you all soon. It appears the Extended stay had a couple of rooms left at $54 plus tax on those dates, act fast those of you looking for a room.

    well look at the bright side Steve.... you have plenty of money from room cost to buy a few cans of bedbug spray to bomb the room, then your luggage before you drag them back into your house >:)B)

    Can you imagine the PR fallout if any rooms at the Renaissance Schaumburg had bed bugs?

    Talk about killing your attendance for future Axpona shows there.

    Tony, I thought Russ had the critters in his beard taken care of so Steve should be OK to hang with Russ.

    @mlistens03 Since you didn't get to make it to the Florida show I guess that means you'll just have to get to Axpona this year! Make it happen!

    Definitely can't make that, a couple days drive/airplane ticket. Next year I'll have my drivers license and can make the FL show without worrying about my parents' schedule. :)

    Just reserved a room at the Hyatt Place. Plan to drive from Oregon, send my wife to Buffalo to visit her family while I’m at AXPONA or visiting my family or friends. Then may catch some jazz at the Green Mill after the show. Hope to meet some of you there.
