Who’s going? Wife and I will be coming up from Mx to hit the expo Saturday. We used to go all the time, it’s been a few years now. I don’t watch the show, shits like watching paint dry to me. I just like cruising the expo, seeing all the people, seeing what’s new. No matter how many times I’ve been it’s still a good time.

Don't go on Saturday man, stupid busy. It's not what used to be. They used to give out so many shirts and free stuff, but not like that anymore. A lot of the big vendors don't go anymore. There trying to make it good again, but we'll see.

I like the crowd haha. I already got reservations anyways so at this point it is what it is. I waited too long to book and not only could I not get a room in the hotel attached to the convention center, I couldn’t get a room anywhere even close. Crazy.

I will be there. To Joos23 point, I will not be on the expo floor Saturday. Last year you could barely walk. It was a madhouse. And they sold even more tickets for the expo this year.

Dude, lol, I used to go whenever I could, when I was in college we drove all the way from fucking Vermont through the night to go and then back on Sunday night just to park the truck and sprint up to pt formation. I loved the scene, now not sure you could pay me to go now. What is even crazier I remember some dudes I know actually dieted down just to walk around the xpo, because why wouldn't they lol. There are a bunch of good gyms and restaurants in the area, if you need any recs.

Their burgers are very good and their prices are pretty reasonable. I like to support the local business and stay away from the chains.

I’ll be there. I’ll be the lost guy with wide eyes wandering around. I think the people I know will be around the Troponin booth/ area, so I’ll probably consider that “home base” or main meeting/ reference point.

But I’ve never been so I know I’ll be wandering around and ADHD sensory overloaded the whole time.
