I used to hit Columbus every year...

Post by LatakiaLover »

...then Barry Levin unexpectedly died a few days before the 1994 one. It was absolutely traumatic for many of the people who attended.

In my case it created a show-specific PTSD sort of thing in my brayne, so I never went back. Too many associations and memories.

I'm not sure why but now I'm considering it. Maybe it's that breakfast place a block north of Premal's. :lol:

So, is it a serious show these days, or just a big swap meet? Etcetera. Enquiring minds want to know.
UFOs must be real. There's no other explanation for cats.

It is the largest show besides Chicago, and very busy for vendors and consumers. It was sold out a few weeks ago for vendor tables. And there will be another pipe maker meetup at my shop on Sunday.
