My father and I go every time. He's been going since the mid 60s IIRC.

Anyone going to IMTS?

There are a lot of worthwile things to do with my time. If IMTS comes to Michigan, maybe it will make the grade. I've been to some trade shows at Cobo in Detroit over the years. You see neat things, collect and trade a lot of biz cards and get a bunch of junk mail.

I'm hoping the Heller case along with the McDonald case brings sanity to Chigago gun laws. I really don't care about carrying in the show since Michigan has a restriction on carrying depending on the size of the venue. I care about the rest of the stay. I've been in places where the good part of town turns in to the bad part of town in just a block or two. Something I wouldn't know about until it was too late if something goes wrong.

Chicago isn't a safe city.

Expos are always in the grittier parts of the city.

Aw, what's ten murders a _day_ among friends? ;)

Call it not riding in a car that doesnt have seatbelts and the driver is drunk.

Well, that is better. d8-) My old girlfriend from Wilmette, at 18, could have told you how to get around Chicago without running into trouble. But if it's a personal boycott, then, as Iggy says, it's too bad but that's your prerogative.

Paranoid freakishness seems to be rising on the right.

It appears you've never been to McCormick Place, especially to IMTS.

Unless you were planning to take a ghetto tour on foot, you'd have nothing to worry about.

Well, it had better years. Da Mayor had his ride stolen and now Jesse J.

Yup. I used to teach people how to program, set up and operate them and I ran the engineering dep't for for a bunch of years before I crossed over to the dark side.

Nah, like I said, they are a decent middle of the road lathe.

We have much cooler older stuff too.
