...it'd be a good way for the host hotel to have a lot of unsold rooms during the show...


Looking for better Gulf items: signs, globes, cans and paper - especially porcelain Gulf flanges, and Gulf A-38 & A-62 ad glass...

For the deal with spilling oil... if they sign a waiver that if they spill oil or tear up furniture from how they display there stuff in there room that they are responsible for the damages. Maybe guys will be more careful? If they owned the furniture i would bet they wouldn't do some of the stuff they do.
Just saying!

I enjoy the room to room, and think it is an important part of what makes a show what it is. Would we all still go to Columbus or Iowa without it - sure. However, it makes a good show great, or a bad show acceptable as John said in case of rain or extreme heat. I think the waiver is a good idea. If I were a promoter, I'd do everything possible, including finding a new hotel, to include it. It adds a whole other level of shopping, and the personal interaction is great!

I would still attend a show w/o room to room. I personally like the room to room format, but if it wasn't offered, why would that be a reason to not go, and miss out on good times elsewhere at the meet????


Good oil cans don't wait for people, people wait for them.

I agree. I am sure some personal room to room trading/selling would still happen among friends and close contacts. A night time ballroom is a good idea and with beer even better.

I enjoy the room to room vending, but I'm shocked hotels let it happen. I think it should only be on certain floors (maybe 1-2 total) not scattered all throughout the hotel.

Agree, it opens up a lot more chances to sit and meet with other collectors.

Haz-Mat for a oil can spill, OMG did they have to tear up the parking lot also as cars and trucks leak oil also.


Thanks

I really enjoy room-to-room. I go to CTO and it's a lot of fun. As others have already mentioned, it's nice to walk around with a beer and mingle.

As far as the hotel waiver is concerned, I would bet my paycheck that it is already in the fine print when you sign for your room (that's why hotels require a credit card to reserve a room). If you ruin your room they will charge you for it. They are probably a little upset that because this was in the elevator, they couldn't pin the bill on anyone.
