NAHBS 2009 who's going, show of hands please?

[Smiley]

I want to know if we should try and make it a point to do a Forumite Happy Hour gathering. I am IN and will be there Thursday till Sunday.

Who's interested in meeting in Indy?

BTW: please vote my K Bedford fixee best in show :)

[taz-t]

Smiley,

Stacy and I have hotel reservations - looking for cheap airfare now. Will your better half be there?

[ericspin]

Will monitor this thread for happenings.

Nope, I am going to bunk with Spoke or Pete as Kelly will be our reason for going

[David Kirk]

Karin and I will once again join Carl and Loretta Strong and we are all looking forward to the trip. I hope we can have the normal "forum Dinner" that has become the norm over the past few years.

[Jack Brunk]

I'll be there from Thursday through Sunday. A get together sounds great. Sorry Smiley but I hope that my secret bike will be voted number one. You should be hearing the announcement from the builder very soon.

[srenda]

I am strongly considering going, but haven't booked anything yet. Anybody know of an agenda floating around? What events are planned, if any? Is Friday an industry day only? Just want to make sure I don't show up a day early for 'nuttin. I am just a consumer looking to meet some peeps and drool over some bikes.

Regards,
Scott

[gomez308]

I'm planning on being there. I'd love to meet the folks. I don't have any idea about hotels, etc.

All three days are open to the public. Should he a great show.

[fourflys]

I have a free ticket on SW and am hoping to go, I need to see the parents anyway (from Indy).

Stupid question...is there an entrance fee for the public?

Is this pick up for him and her, 2 frames !

[dekindy]

I live in Fishers, just northeast of Indianapolis and will definitely be there. My club, (CIBA) Central Indiana Bicycling Association, will furnish some of the volunteers and I plan to help coordinate that effort.

[Blue Jays]

Considering it. Will speak to assorted cycling club peeps about the event.

[fourflys]

so....does anyone know if/what kind of charges there will be to see the show? I plan to take my dad one day I think, if I can get the time off to come back east.

site has nothing about the public on it..... What has it been in the past?

Say Jack- Is there more than one best in show? If not, you better get a first in some other category....Smiley's fixee done by K. Bedford has that blue ribbon look to it!! :) :)


Blue Ribbon Sandy

[Sandy]

I may attend. I want to meet some of the posters here that I know through the forum but have never met. Also like to take my new car for a real trip. Have not done that yet. Trouble is I do not want to leave my dog for too long. Not sure if Gloria will come with me if I go. Also hope the snow season is over with by then.


Sandy

[Louis]

I'm thinking about it. Probably 50:50

Anybody know about how late one can wait and still get a decent hotel room?

Louis

[sokyroadie]

Four hour drive, so I am in.

Jeff

[14max]

Mrs. 14max and I will be there. We're visiting friends in Indy on Friday and we'll be attending the show on Saturday.

[soulspinner]

Gonna drive. Fri-Sun. Been 14 years since I went to the 500. Back when they had real motors. :p

[dbrown]

I live in Indy, too. I may be out of town until Saturday afternoon, but plan too attend as much as I can, either as a volunteer or as a paying spectator.

[MilanoTom]

If my employment/money situation stabilizes by then, I want to make the trip. Why does it always seem that when I have the time, the money is short, and when I have the money, the time is short?

Regards,
Tom

[Ahneida Ride]

I be there !!!!! ;) :banana:

[rphetteplace]

Is this pick up for him and her, 2 frames !

Yes. My fifth DeSalvo and her first.

[Volant]

I'm planning on being there and meeting a few of you first-hand. :)

[D_L_Huns]

Only 2 hrs over there. Yep! Got a room for Sat night for sure, and may go for Fri too, depending on schedule.

[dekindy]

Has everyone got the schedule?

SHOW HOURS Public access will be from 11 AM to 6 PM Friday and Saturday, with 9 AM until 11 AM on those days restricted to Industry and Media. Sunday will be from 10 AM until 5 PM for all attendees.

[zap]

I plan on attending.

[mnoble485]

I will be in the seat next to ericspin on the plane. Maybe everybody could wear a "HI I'm ____" nametag with their screen name.

Chilled out with Don a couple of weeks ago at his shop. Gonna be a great time, looking forward to seeing O'Donnell's stuff, Don's stuff.

crossing my fingers I might be helping with one of the exhibitors at least for some after hours stuff! :)

Cannot wait to see all there. Lots of fun places to congregate downtown.

Hyatt Regency is the host hotel and has an indoor walkway from hotel to show. Weather should be decent...or crappy. ;)

It will be fun to meet some more forumites. Last big hoedown I made was the GdB. Last time I was in Indianapolis was for an AC/DC concert.
