    If Tony comes up to you with a couple other guys and try’s to kiss both cheeks and says “we need to take a ride”... pull your pants back up and run like hell...

    LMAO, I'm not near as bad as John portrays me to be.

    Speaking of...what days are you guys going ? Sat....I might make it in the morning but I have a baby shower to go to from 2-5 in Hoffman estates which is down the road. Maybe we can hook up for dinner on Sat. I have Russ's number, few of you guys have mine. Text me with the plans for Sat. night.

    Ideally I would like to photograph and write a brief review of all 185+ rooms. I'm just not sure if it is going to be possible though.

    Do the exhibitors allow us to play our own music? CDs at least. I understand why vinyl most likely not.

    most of them want to control the listening environment. they wouldn't want someone to bring crappy sounding music to make their equipment sound bad.

    ^^ What Ivan said. At smaller shows sure, bring your on CDs and vinyl, but at a show of this caliber probably not. That being said, I'm sure if you ask the person running the room "Can you play something from <Well Known Artist Name>?" they would probably honor your request.

    In other news, I've just made an amazing discovery, there is a CULVER'S under a mile from the hotel. I know where I will be eating! Love their burgers and frozen custard!
