Anyone going this weekend?  I am debating it. I hate going places myself. I know, I know. That sounds so stupid.

My plan is to be there Saturday afternoon (my wife and I will be perusing the show).

Different location this year -- we'll see how parking goes.

How was it? I had thought about going but the weather was too nice so I went for a ride on Saturday and a run on Sunday. :-)

I went on Sunday morning/afternoon. There were a lot of exhibitors showing off their new electrolyte drink mixes and some Whole Foods type supplements. Only a few booths had quite a few (older/low end) parts at good deals. Some local custom bike makers were there showing off their new creations (my girlfriend fell in love with this one lavender bike for which the color recipe is a very well kept secret).
It was worth the $8 entry fee for the free swag if such things interest you. At the very least a free t-shirt and a free water bottle covered that cost. The sample drink mixes and energy bars were nice too. SkagitCycle was there and probably had the best deals/sales with almost everything they showed @ 50% off or better.
It was a fun time but alas, I'm still looking for a headlight, I didn't see anything better than a small safety light.

We really enjoyed it. But to be fair, it was part of our "date afternoon", so we were just enjoying the whole thing. My wife really felt the folks at the tandem club booth by the main entrance were really friendly, and we were really interested in the Hase tandems (she had a cervical fusion done on Monday). I asked at the frame builder's booths about some mods I want to have done on my old Javelin X-frame. But we kept getting surprised with "another room?"

It was worth it to me. And I'll go again next year.
