The Date is Jan. 27 & 28, 2007 and if you can make it you should do all possible. Go to Amherstrail.org and check out all the stuff. have a nice Christmas and healthy New yr.....Tom

Sounds reallly cool and I would love to go however, the distance plays a slight factor for me. At just over 2,600 miles, that would take me right around 37 hours to drive. Darn internet - it makes things seem so close but they are still so far away. Perhaps you could take some pictures for us poor saps who can't make it?

This is a terrific show.
I have only been there once, but I was told that it would take two days to get through it all. Silly me, I thought that considering how fast I usually walk around shows, less than half a day would be enough... No, I spent from before opening (I had a VIP badge furnished by one of the vendors) to late afternoon on Saturday, left much later than I should have to get back home (around a 300 mile drive) and did not see even half of the show to any degree of detail!!! Schedules keep conspiring against my coming back-- this coming year, I have to travel on that Sunday for work-- but I strongly encourage your attendance! You don't even have to buy anything  .
