Since the 'Its a Gas' show will be at the Four Seasons... does anyone know what setup will be like? Will there be a room-room trading time since its at a hotel now?
Trying to decide whether to stay at the actual hotel or a friends lake house.

The way I read it, everything will be in the convention hall. I predict that it will be a real bear on Friday trying to unload all the vendors and getting set up. It used to take well in to the afternoon on Friday to get everyone unloaded when you could drive in and unload close to your space. With all the vendors having to unload through two doors with dollies and two wheelers it will take a lot longer. Pray for good weather or double the trouble unloading and be ready for a lot of people in a bad mood! Glad I don't have a booth......If you have to get a room somewhere anyway I would just get one there. The rate was reasonable at $98 a night and you'll be right there regardless. If you got a friends place to stay and save the room $, that would be nice as it can't be too far from the show anyway.......GB

I got my spots  Seems they would have mentioned room to room on the flyer? So I seriously doubt it... As for set up, it's the first time at this new place so you will have to ask the show promoters about how they plan to do it... I, for one, LOST the best spots in the house with this move so I hope it works out well.... Everything will need to be carried or carted in...so dont forget your dollies and carts... See you there

I've been reading the reviews online of the accommodations at the Lodge, and they are not very good. I thought about bringing the family, but now I don't know. I hate walking into something blind. I know the priority is the show, but I want to have a good experience with the room. Thinking I might want to stay somewhere else.Pat.

Pat, I haven't stayed there in years but it was always a nice place. If the reviews are less than stellar I would imagine that its due to the age of the hotel, especially if it hasn't been updated on a regular basis. Some of those landmark hotels seem to lag behind in renovations and I'm not sure why unless the are trying to keep the charm of the original draw. I can't imagine it would be a dive, even now, but you never know I guess.....GB

Marky the major airports would be St. Louis or KC and then you would have to drive a couple hours. I also think you can fly from St. Louis to lake of the ozarks on a smaller plane.

This is from the website:
"Vendor set up is Friday, January 16th, 2015 starting at 8:00am. We also offer an Early Bird buyer's pass for the serious collector. $35 for an armband that allows you entry on both days. You will be able to come in with the vendors (8:00 am) and shop all day on Friday & Saturday until close of the event on Saturday (usually around 1:00pm.)"
I will be there Thursday evening.

They were talkin about the airports in a few previous posts in this thread but nobody mentioned Springfield which would really be closer than any previously mentioned airport. There are more options in and out of Springfield than Branson and it would be a closer drive than Branson and a lot closer than KC or St. Louis.........GB

I didn't think about Columbia or Jefferson City. That would be the closest but I'm not sure what service they have now. Be worth checking on.

Gotta do a picture! I think we did it on Friday around noon last year. Has somebody got the computer skills to number the people in the pic so we can identify everyone the way DB used to do? I'm not sure what he used to do that. I think Jim took it last year, so if he wants to do it, he can set the time that works for him....GB

Noon is ok with me. Since we haven't been there before I guess we will have to find a place that day and announce it? Unless somebody knows the layout now and can specify a place.....GB

Check out the eye candy at about mile marker 204 on I-44 west of St Louis in Missouri, left side of the road. Looks like the collection grew a bunch since I went past it last. Think it was just west of Cuba MO.
