singlespeed68 Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I wasn't going to be able to go to the conference because of work so I never signed up for the classes, know it turns out I can but it's full. So I'm going to drive from weastern suburbs of Chicago to go to the market place. Anyone else traveling a good distance to go to the market place? Just wish I knew I could attend earlier.

AMarshall Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'm going, but I signed up early since I missed the first few years. If you are going to be in the area for sure, see if you can get on their wait list. With 400 attendees surely someone will cancel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sac Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I will be attending just to meet folks from round here and for the tool show. It is inevitable that I am going to buy something.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 I'll be down on Saturday to go to the marketplace only. I'm hoping the Festool booth will have a deal on a couple of tools I'm looking at buying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singlespeed68 Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 This is my first year going also. Last year I didn't know much about it, and thought it was nothing more than a conference for professional woodworkers. I should of looked more into it. I work a block away from where it was held last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathom7 Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I was looking forward to attending this year as it's 30 minutes from my house. Unfortunately a trip I had planned at work got unexpected moved up a week. So instead of being 15 miles away, I'll be an ocean away. Hopefully next year it'll be close and I can make it.

nikbrown Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Yea I missed last years but I just moved about 3.5 hrs from this years so it's a no brainer I have to go. Cool thing is my Dad managed to schedule a business trip into the area that week and is coming for the marketplace. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smrk Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 Since this is happening basically in my back yard I will be attending. Unfortunately some unexpected expenses and a trip to Disney World killed my fun money account so I will only be attending the vendors area. But it should be a fun time never the less.
