Not sure if there are any PSLG members here, but the show packet is out. I'll attach it here for your enjoyment.

That makes me think of Maggie and the Ferocious Beast (great googly moogly!)...LOL!

I'll show my hubby the info and see what's what.

ps do you need to be a member of a guild to compete?

[Bree]

What is the expected attendance? How many vendors will be there?

Okay, we're now seriously planning to be there. When I found out how close it is to Chicago, that was a big draw. My son has been frantically trying to get us to take him to the Museum of Science and Industry every since he saw the dvd "The Great Train Story". Plus, it'd be his first ride on a plane to get there. How much better could it get for a 4 yr old!

Id like to know about the demos and the vendors. is that available yet? Bronc

[wildrose]

I spoke with the show chair and he was very helpful. It is an open show - no need to be a guild member to enter.

Give him a call with all questions, I'd say: Bob Chambers at 708-895-5511

Bree - Not sure. The spring shows are definitely smaller. Last year CALG was able to get Ron's Tools, the local Tandy store, and two others. They also had Tippman in for a day, which was the first time anyone had invited them! That brought Tippman to the IFOLG show last year.

We had something like 150 people attend that spring show which was a pretty good turnout. While classes aren't typical at a spring show, there are always demos going on. I haven't heard of any workshops yet, but there may be a few. The biggest things is competition. They use IFOLG rules and judging criteria, but the shows are usually open (no guild membership required). The raffle tables are usually pretty good too!

The spring shows are fun and definitely more regional. We didn't have a banquet last year, but PSLG is having one.

I know for you it's kind of a long drive, but you'd be welcome and have fun.

Well... I was born over your way and have many friends there as well as family. But I have to go a reunion and a wedding in Chicago later in the year as well as the IFOLG in Indianapolis so I am not sure I can justify another trip out that way... especially since it is boring riding!

Let's see... There's a Denny's and a Blueberry Hill pancake house around the corner on 83. Several donut shops between there and Darien. About a hundred pizza places within 2 miles. Dozens of fast food joints within a mile. And that's just what is shown on Mapquest. Probably double that number of places in reality.

Looks like the closest Waffle house is in Naperville.

There is a Hooters a little closer in Oak Lawn... :whistle:

We'll just have to scout the area once we converge. Anyone willing to do advance recon? ..... :red_bandana:

Well, it's official: I have room reservations. I hope to see many of you there.

BTW, I did have some difficulties with making the reservations. The man I spoke with was SUPER friendly, but kept insisting they were all booked up. I found that hard to believe, figuring the guild had a block set aside, and I would've been stunned if THOSE were all booked (I've never been to a show that was); and sure enough he found that block and got us a room.

So if you call, be sure to be patient and remind them about the rooms set aside for the show specifically.

I sooo wish I could go this year too but,

we're going to Sweden in March/April and I don't even know if we're here then.
I have to say though, I had a wonderful time last year, meeting Brent, Johanna and the rest of the leather people:-)

UPDATE:

Workshops are on. I've attached a document. It's also up at the CIL website, and I would assume PSLG's.

Okay- We've got room reservations...we're going!

Try to conceal your laughter at my crappy JC Penney purse, please?
