2010 October PHILY SHOW

[Dr Popper]

For anyone planning on attending the Philly show in Allentown PA  this October, John (Scary Lee) and I are planning on getting together at the Hilton Garden Inn Friday night (10/08) to hang-out, trade and talk Wackys, and then hit the show the following morning.  We thought it would be cool if we could get a little group together and hang in the lobby for a while, and maybe do dinner as well.  We are going to stay at the hotel overnight and it's very close to the show for the following morning.  There is a Red Robin within walking distance right next to the hotel which works out nice.  Here is the link to the hotel/show info.........

If anyone thinks they can make it let us know!  It would be a good opportunity to trade ANS7 items.

Sounds cool! The lobby there is huge with lots of places to sit and hang out, this should be a lot of fun, rather its just a few or a dozen Wacky fanatics. We can try to firm up meeting times once we get a feel for how many are planning to show up.

[RonZombie]

I was going for sure, but some issues have come up & now I'm on the fence??? BTW Hello everybody!!!

I'll definitely be there on Saturday. The Friday night thing sounds like a lot of fun, but it's doubtful I'll be able to pull it off.

I've never been to one of the Philly shows and would love to go. Unfortunately between family, school, work and life there is no way I can go. I've been to Philly once in 1993 and it is a great place to visit. I've always wanted to go back, but the opportunity hasn't risen. Everyone else have a great time!

The show is actually in Allentown despite the name. The venue has it's pluses and minuses, but it's still fun!

Last year we had trouble using the tables near the snack bar.  We finally settled in but we had to buy stuff to stay there.  I wonder if it will be an issue again?

Did the snack bar people try to get people to leave if they weren't eating?  I actually helped them load their soda machine as they were understaffed and the machine was void of beverages.  A little kid thought that was novel and came over to help so I taught him what to do and he had a ball finishing the job.  I guess I shouldn't have offered to help if they were chasing some of our wacky traders away.

Yup, they told us that the tables were reserved for customers eating from the snack bar.  Once we bought some stuff they seemed to back down.  I wonder if we could bring our own folding table?  Maybe I'll ask Roxanne before the show.

Get the trading done the night before and it shouldn't be an issue although there is rarely enough stuff at the show to keep our interest for more than an hour so post show trading for those who don't make Friday night will need some space.

The irony is that the show is not in Philly! It's actually near Allentown PA which is approx. 3 hrs. from Philly. I wish it was in Philly as I am just 45 min.s away from there.

C'mon man......drag the wife along if you have to!  LOL   I'm actually going to be with my girlfriend.  I'm not sure she'll want to hang out with a bunch of geeks like us the whole time but she's usually pretty cool about it.

Same weekend as the NYCC - New York Comic Con in the Javits Center  ..

So I will miss yet another (not-in) Philly Show !!

[Swiski]

Can I send out an early request for someone who's going to the Philly Show to please pick me up one of the Star Wars Galaxy Promo cards? TIA!

If I go i got you covered!

[NEZHEAD42]

Does anyone know if there will be any sort of Wacky promo at this show? An OLDS2 promo would be really nice!

[slamjim]

An OLDS2 promo would be really nice!

I believe an OLDS2 promo will debut at the show.  Maybe even the flyer if everything comes together.

That sounds great Dave! See you there...RonZ

Dave, will it be another "show only" promo like Peepers?  I hope not as I live all the way in Oklahoma.

[NEZHEAD42]

That would be cool.

Alright, ya got me! haha. I forgot we already had a promo show up for OLDS2. I guess since it was back in February and I'm getting along in years, the old memory just flat out failed me. I guess I need to revise my question to  "Are we getting another promo for OLDS2?"

[slamjim]

Dave, will it be another "show only" promo like Peepers?  I hope not as I live all the way in Oklahoma.

No, it will be a promo like BC Cola was only I was told it would be an actual sticker and not a card. It will not be exclusive to the show (unless something changes).

I cannot wait to see it!!!

Any chance of Topps selling old school 1 sketch posters at the show, or were they all sold off?

I believe they will have posters and binders at the show.

That's really good to know! Thanks David

[RonZombie]

I'm not 100% sure I'll be there...I'd say my odds are 90-95%

You're very welcome Ernie!

I actually might be in the Philly area from the 6th to the 10th.  There's a big Bridge Tournament at the
Marriott and a few friends might be taking the 5-hour drive down.  Who knows, maybe I can sneak away
for a day?

Would be awesome to meet you!  I played bridge in college but not since.  I do play spades and think I am quite good at it.  One thing I don't like about partner games is the liklihood of cheating.   I know two people in my dorm cheated endlessly at bridge as they admitted long afterwards that they have a whole signal system in place to convey their hand to each other....made the bidding a moot point.

I'm still not positive, but if I do go it would be great to meet another fellow (Wacky-Head!)
