I'd be down. I know we had a mini bp.net meetup a few years ago. Went out for dinner after the show. It was fun!

Are you in the chicago area? Ever go to the AAE in Wheaton?

Ill be there also, room is already booked. staying friday and saturday night. no getting up early to drive 4 and a half hours this year.

As for the tickets, no they don't sell out. However, the line is very long to buy them at the door.

Good to know they won't sell out
It's my first expo and I'm pretty excited. However I can't buy anything, can't have any pets till I have my own place. (Once I graduate college!) I'll just be checking out what they have and meet up with Brian from SnakeBytes!

I live about 25-30 min. away from Tinley, so I'll probably come an hour or two earlier haha.

I'm planning to go! It'll be my third Tinley (last October was my first, though I only got to stop by for a couple hours in March). October Tinley is a super fun first big reptile show, I hung out with the iHerpers and had an absolute blast... and still get cravings for bacon brownies. Damn those iHerp folks XD

Where are you going to school? If you don't mind me asking. lol. I just graduated from IIT in Chicago. Got my first snake my sophmore year against my parents wishes. They still don't like that I have snakes, but whatever. It's my life!

Back brownies? o.0

I forgot to add in high school too haha. I'm going to be a senior this year, so I still live and abide by my parents rules.

Aaah gotcha. Yeah that is tough :/ My parents would never allow me to have a snake as a kid... So I rebelled and got 7 lol

When I got my first snake while I was at school, I told my parents. They were not happy and told me to return it.. Yeah that wasn't happening! After that I just neglected to tell them when I got new animals. What they don't know won't hurt them! lol

[Pampho85]

My parents would literally either die of fear or kill me, haha. Don't want to take the chance. However, I've handled friends snakes and am planning to buy some tubs right now and keep them until I get some animals haha.

Yeah, the gf/wife (I can't remember lol, oops) of the guy who runs iHerp made these really tasty brownies with crumbly bits of bacon in them, as well as a whole bunch of unusual cookies. The pepper cookies were my favorite. It was pretty fantastic.
