I plan on attending both shows as a buyer. Hope the Gateway show works out to be a success. The overlap on the dates makes it hard on vendors. Friday is traditionally a big day at "It's A Gas!"

John, I agree, but the question remains: are you coming as a vendor or as a spectator (buyer) to this show?

I've been told the hotel has said that all the vending rooms(like is done at Columbus now) are sold out. Pat

I was also told that the show promotor was adamant about people not leaving early. It will definitely be interesting. I booked a non-vending room last night. There are still plenty of non-vendor rooms available. Pat

That's how b and d promotions run the indy show ,but really would you like to drive to a show with a few vendors left. New shows should not step on established shows days .. but there's only so many days in a week.

its possible they didnt intend to... It's a Gas has always historically been in January, until this year when they adjusted it due to the venue change.

I know it's like peotone and mason Dixon two great shows at basically the same time only half the country apart. Allways support the shows,because without them most are left with ebay,or better yet oldgas.com

I am bummed out about the Peotone Mason Dixon thing. They are both great shows and now I have to choose between them,it's not gonna be an easy decision and ultimately it will be me who suffers. It's going to be this way for the next two spring Peotones too.

Why would you run a show on the same weekend as another show??? That makes no sense.

From what I remember, Bruce and Donna were handing out flyers for the Gateway show last August and maybe earlier, so the Russell's scheduled It's a Gas same weekend. Only they know why. From what I've heard five or six vendor rooms have been added at Gateway show. Most people I've talked to who do have vendor rooms are not staying through Friday. Supposedly vendors who are set up in ballroom are being asked to stay through Friday. Majority of people are going as buyers that I've talked to so they can go to It's a Gas. Pat
