Woot for Big Blue! Sharon Harter, then Hawkinson once Hawk and I tied the knot in 1993. I was a vocal music major. By chance, do you remember a black dog with white and gray markings named Charlie? If so, he was attached to me.
What is the exact date of the Chicago Pen Show?
Here is a link to the schedule... http://www.chicagopenshow.com/schedule.html
Is this consider a large show? Making plans to attend.

Yes it is a large show, at one time the largest but, I'd say DC is the largest now. Someone just called for a table today - I've a few left but, expect to sell out. The crowd attending should be good too as I keep talking to people that plan to attend this as their first one and many people coming back that haven't been for a few years. I'm grateful that we've had such a positive response.

Another newbie question: What is included in the $60 Full Weekend registration that isn't in the $50 3 Day Pass? Is it just one day less? Or is there more going on in the "includes all events"?
Yes you can walk in on Saturday and pay the $5 at the door - doesn't go up, don't have to buy in advance. Also it is $5 instead of $6 because I don't want to have to bother with so much making change - I had to deal with so many singles last year.
For the $60 you get the full four day immersion! Is that not enough? We never had a 3 day before so I thought I might be giving a break for those that can't make Thursday. So what do you get Thursday? Thursday is a lot of fun as it is fairly casual. We will have a section of the ballroom open for trading and they will be plenty of dealers selling. While the show has always had a pizza party we are upping our game this year to include true Chicago style pizza from Lou Malnati's. The extra $10 goes a bit into the costs of the pizza party and other show costs (I sincerely thank everyone for helping us make this work). A show is not a cheap proposition but, I've always loved the Chicago show and we're going to make it fantastic - something that you want to make all four days. Thanks,

I might make an effort to hit up Chicago this year. It's the closest show to me at about a 4.5hr drive. It may end up being my first show if I can't make it to Atlanta like I'm planning to.
I'd love to make it for the whole weekend! It's not the cost, but the WAF (wife acceptance factor). I have two young kids with many activities. I won't stay married long if I vanish for the weekend for my hobbies, no matter how awesome the activities are!
