Given the horrific events that have taken place in NY does anyone know if the show is still going to take place.
 
I dont know for fact....but I would imagine they would....We need to continue on with our lives and not let these COWARDS intimidate us.

The Show will go on.

The Question is; what is it going to be like to fly into LaGuardia.

It was a nightmare before. I have flown out of the 8 times in the last 4 years. Seven of those times I sat on the runway so long I missed my connecting flight in Atlanta.

You want to stay at the show as long as you can. But the airlines want you there at least 2 hours a head of time. They will be overcautious with NY airspace. It could be a 4 hour job getting out of NY. That doesn't include the flying time home.

My experience has taught me that when you fly out of NY. You take an early flight. So when the screw up, as they always do. You have a shot at two or more later flights at your connection airport.

That means I am going to have to leave at noon on Sunday, if not earlier.

So, the show will go on. However, I suspect at least this year, there will be fewer collectors flying in (especially with Phil Lobreds show in San Diego just two weeks before). Those who fly in will probably have to leave early on Sunday. And some of makers and dealers just may not come.

The other thing will be to see how the NY Airports react to knives in the luggage. For some of the makers with just two or three knives it won't be a big deal. Imagine the look on the inspectors face when they open my luggage.

Im flying to the SOS Show next Thursday out of Atlanta, so I will get a better gauge of what is going on.

The good news the air fare to NY is the lowest it has been in years, $150 from Augusta. Same price as from Atlanta. Last year it was $265 to fly from Augusta to NYC.
 
Good to hear the show will go on. I plan to be there. For me, it is just a short train ride. I hope that most of the makers will be able to make the trip.

Let's go and spend some $$$, and show those animals that they cannot break our spirit.
 
The show will go on!!!
I checked with Paul Tausig and he confirmed this.
I will be there and look forward to seeing all my friends again.
To do otherwise would be to allow THEM to win!

Great to hear the spirit of everyone here. Look forward to seeing all at the show.

As it grows closer, we have to devise a way for us to recognize each other.
 
Hi Bob T,
Good to see you post again. I knew a real Brooklyn guy couldn't stay away. Look forward to talking to you again and I'll be bringing you something special compliments of the daily news.

Take care,
Dave
 
You might want to consider flying into and out of Philadelphia Airport.

They might not be as riled up as La Guardia and there is excellent Rail Service connecting Philadelphia and NYC.
