Chicago NARBC

Who else is going? Tinley Park Oct. 13-14.

You can count me in!

I'll be there!!!! Need more snakes!!

I'll be there! I'm picking up my first BP and I'm so excited!

i am gonna make the trip, got the hotel reservations and everything. and i have been saving $25 from every paycheck, so by the time rolls around i'll have enough free money to buy something special.

I'm going with a couple of friends. Maybe some of us from BP.net can meet up for a drink or something. Do Holiday Inn Selects have a bar? Nothing like a couple of cocktails to help curb my spending at a reptile show lol.

i was planning on going but my cousin from AZ is gonna be in minneapolis at that time so i gotta go up there instead!

I'll be there on saturday.. looking forward to it!

We'll be vending at the show, so we'll be there all weekend. Come stop by the table and say hello. I haven't recieved our table number yet.

Mike and I would love to attend but it's unlikely we will. Between Mike's new job (which we aren't sure if he'll have that weekend off) and the issue with being carless at present, it seems this year is most likely out for us. :(

I will be there on Sat. Dunno if I will spend much but I gotta go.

I'm sure if there isn't, Brian Potter can point you out to a near one. He always get's wasted at the shows.

My wife and I will be there Friday through Sunday. Looking to be blown away by all the animals I haven't had time to keep up on. If we have a new house by then (unlikely) than I may be looking for some additions ;) I might be looking for deals on Children's pythons...when I've had time to think I've been thinking alot about that species since it doesn't seem like to many people focus on the smaller pythons specifically. I've got a few balls I'll have ready to breed this fall and have a good base for the things I want to produce for myself.

Anyway I know it'll be a good time regardless. I only booked our room a week or two ago so we are staying a few miles away but also paying about half the price for two nights at the closer hotels.

Don't forget to bring some lovely females for me to pick from! :D We can't wait to meet our new girl! :carrot:

I haven't decided if I'm going to bring the boys... are strollers allowed? Would there even be room to push a stroller?

Christine,
I have three picked out already, but Monica is telling me to bring more. We may bring another couple, but I definitely haven't forgot you Christine. A stroller should be fine.

Awesome! Thanks!

Wouldn't it be amazing if some of these larger herp shows had a daycare on site. Lord knows I'd happily pay a good sum to know Mikey was safe and having fun while his dad and I enjoyed the show.

Tell me about it! I have to decide to bring them, leave them with dh and go alone, or leave then with a sitter. They love reptiles, so I know they'd love the show, but I'm just concerned about the crowds.

There's a Six Flags about an hour away from the show... depending on how fast you drive. Few other places like Haunted Trails and other such stuff.

We are out the door as I type this. We may be able to check in from time to time, and I might post some pics while we are there. If I don't though, rest assured, there will be some on our return. I can't wait to see everyone there. If you go to the show, stop by our table and say hello, you know where we'll be.

BYE!
