Whose Going? NARBC Tinley Oct. 9-10

I'm back briefly to pick up my mom. I bought a male mojave from Morph Makers, he's absolutely perfect in my eyes. Come the end of tomorrow I'll be trolling for a bargain snake, maybe a pastel or het female.

Picked up a really nice female g-stripe from Marc Bailey. Also bought an amazing pair of black bloods from Jeff Hartwig. I LOVE Jeff's black bloods - I'm happy I finally decided to pick up a pair!

About what time is the auction over? I definitely want to meet up for drinks with everyone! We picked up a female pin, a female mojo, and a red tegu! I wish I could upload pictures but this stupid hotel blocked photobucket ?!!! It also doesn't allow pets and I had to sign a form promising not to bring any reptiles in here. Interesting....

Holy Cow...Jeff Hartwig is there this year...Need to avoid that table...LOL

How long did it take to get in??? The show starts at 10am tomorrow, right?:confused::confused:

Also, does anyone know if underagers can get into the hotel bar? I'm not from IL, my sis is with me.

The show actually starts at 11 tomorrow. No idea how long it took to get it, I ended up getting there later than I wanted, so there wasn't too much of a line.

The auction should end around 9ish. I don't think bringing a minor would be a problem.

my co-worker is with me and he is underage we been going to buffalo wild wings on the nw corner

Wow, I wish I would have searched this thread sooner. We are here too, at the Holiday Inn. We'd love to meet up with people and chat during or after the expo!

My and my other half drove all the way from MD to be at the show. Picked a KILLER bee! Got it at a great price on the first day! Hoping to haggle a BEL tomorrow:D;):gj:

Er. Pretty sure I just saw you in the lobby. I was the frumpy-looking kid in the blue hoodie. My hair is entirely un-fluffy today, because I was too lazy to wash it last night. Anyways, I didn't say hi because it's the morning and I wasn't really registering much of anything.

I had a GREAT time at the show, what a good time! There were so many cool animals and great booths set up.

I picked up an amazing looking female Lesser from Brian at the BHB booth(which my wife named Sophia after her favorite Golden Girl....pics coming later tonight) and it was a dream come true for my son getting to meet him. Brian was so great to him and even filmed a segment with him to put on the SnakeBytes show! How cool is that? My son was so starstruck that he didn't say a word lol but Brian said "Don't worry, we'll make it look good."

I also picked up the Ball Pythons: Pythons of the World Volume II book which is also autographed by authors David and Tracy Barker. It was pricey but well worth it for all of the knowledge in it. I can't wait to dig into it
