- What's the best bet for lodging? Stay at the sponsor hotel?
- What kind of cost do you typically incur for lodging/food etc
- How many pipes is an appropriate number to bring ( I mean, obviously buying a table and having 3 pipes on it is a bit absurd, as is a table with 200 pipes on it...I imagine. Any thoughts as to volume would be great)
- Any fun pipemaker gatherings take place outside of the show itself?
- Any other kernals of wisdom you would offer a show virgin

Questions about Chicago

"It is noble to be good; it is still nobler to teach others to be good - and less trouble."

2. I usually arrive on Wednesday and leave on Monday morning. Hotel room and food runs about $1000 give or take.
3. I bring as many pipes as I have ready. Usually around 20-25.
4. There is all sorts of shit going on 24 hrs/day.
5. Just do it.
