The Chicago Sword Show is getting close. Make plans now to attend.  The show is in the large Ballroom upstairs so easy access for everyone.  The room will accommodate more tables than we could put downstairs so think about getting a table.

 

The show website is http://www.chicagoswordshow.com/

 

The Hyatt is getting full early so if you need a room please book it soon https://www.hyatt.com/en-US/group-booking/CHIRW/G-ASIA

 

With a shinsa being help at the same time it will be busy https://www.militaria.co.za/nmb/topic/42836-nthk-npo-shinsa-april-28-29-and-30-chicago/#comment-440734

 

 

If anyone has questions you can reach me at chicagoswordshow@gmail.com

 

Thanks

Mark Jones

I just drove to Indy from South Carolina on Thrusday night. 720 miles in 10 hours, with fuel and pee breaks included. Drove back to SC on Sunday. That drive whoops my tail. Flying to Chicago to save my butt. lol

 

Look forward to meeting you and the other ITK guys!

You lucky lucky folk. Please post many pics even though they will make us UK dwellers even more envious!

Enjoy.

Heading to the airport now. Just want to say to the general public that United airlines baggage policy sucks! I'm used to 50 ponds maximum, and pay excessive weight fee, but $100 for 1 pound over!?!?!?! Over size fee is excessive too at another $100. 

 

OK, rant over. Look forward to seeing everyone there!

I had the oversized case with the swords weigh-in at 48 lbs. Have a large camo military bag weigh-in at 51 lbs. Lady at the counter was about to charge me $100 for being 1 pound overweight. I pulled out a pair of jeans and and t-shirt and put it into my carry on backpack. Big bag was now 49 pounds.

Like the meme above, what was accomplished? 
 

Looking forward to tomorrow.

Allot of over weight balding white guys, not much has changed. BTW I'm getting there:laughing:

I suggested a 101 class for the novice some decades ago to Mr. Robinson. I think he tried it, don't know if it stuck.

WOW looks like a great show. I made a promise to myself that this would be the year that I would attend this show but again life got in the way. Thank you so much for the Great pictures and updates. Hopefully next year I will be able to post pictures if my own. Thanks again and good luck in your buying, selling and just gathering with new and old friends.   MikeR
