    If we do meet up, I'd probably be the youngest, it might be awk XD
    We should all figure out what we're going to dress in the future! :0

    Bacon sounds a bit too 'extreme' for me...dripping pig fat haha.

    Oh and the reception is something different, I don't know what it is since it's my first expo, but that's what I just read on the site.

    Who cares about age! I've hung out with 6 year olds at shows before.

    As for planning what to wear, or just announcing what we are wearing.. I find that a little pointless since everyone at the show will most likely be staring at reptiles the whole time, not other people!

    The best way I have found is to have a specific time and place to meet up. I think once we did noon in the lobby area and that worked out well. I'll make a little sign or something XD

    Lol. That will work even better! Haha. One question, do they sell any food there at all, or do you have to bring your own?

    Now that sounds like a plan!! I am so there...

    I can't wait to meet everybody! Not too many of us frequent the Taylor MI show so I haven't actually met anyone from here yet. It'll be fun!

    The VIP tickets really are for Tinley - not Repticon: Tinley Park VIP tickets. They get you into the show at 2pm on Friday, 2 1/2 hours early on Saturday, and 1 hour early on Sunday. And there is an ice breaker/press release reception from 4-6 before the summit meeting that you can be a part of with a VIP ticket.

    I'm going to be looking for a pair of Angolan Pythons so I thought it might be worthwhile to do this....
