Only 3 things, much bigger show ( at least 50% +++ ), the airport is only minutes away from the show and last, you can actually walk from your hotel to the show.
Almost forgot, better restaurants too. I mean seriously, Monroeville is horrible for a good "night out".

I fully agree with Pat on that

It is a shame downtown Pittsburgh is so far from the show - there are some great restaurants and bars downtown.

Eateries, night clubs and establishments for imbibing at the MAX.

There are several of the national chain places close to the MAX center within walking distance such as Olive Garden, Fridays, Chili�s, Bob Evans, Chinese buffets, Road House steaks, etc, etc, etc.

However, south down the road about two miles is an outstandingly fantastic Italian restaurant of which it�s name evades me at this time. Also, a short trip by car and across the river my good friend Joe W. has discovered �Der Kline Deutschman� which has an outstanding lamb shank that is just about too large to conquer.

Additionally, after crossing the river there are many more of the better eateries for your enjoyment.

So, in all there are many fine restaurants and bars in the Monroeville-Pittsburgh area but all depends on your palate and if one drives or is using the family mule.

Bon Appetite.

Hey John...

I think the Italian eatery is...
'esta est' ... good veal etc...

Hi Lou,

Yes, I believe that you are correct and that is the name of the Italiano ristorante.

Thanks,

John

nothing wrong with the max, i always find great things there, yes you have to get in on dealer setup day to find a bargian or two. This will be my 10th max show in a row!!!
never been to the sos
It was truly great when the hotel connected to the show!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've finally changed my mind and booked my flight this morning.


Alright Johnny V and Serge, get the Heineken ready and I'll bring the prezels.

Your ON Pat!
Glad your on board for the MAX.

We've had some of our best buys and sales at the MAX. And always a good time to be had. Ain't that right Johnny?

-serge-

PAT!!!
You've got THAT right!

Serge- Yep, we've always done well and had the BEST time. Attending the show is always just an excuse for me to drink beer, eat well, and talk daggers for 4 days with fellow collectors.
What is better than that?
See you there!
Johnny

Damn... I can�t make it this year to the MAX

I thought you all might like to know that F. Stephens will be at the MAX this year and we are planning on a Seminar Program that will feature a panel discussion on questions that you will submit to me over the next couple of months on topics that you all feel are the more important questions that remain unanswered in the hobby.
This is going to take off from where we were last year at this time when Fred had an illness that interferred with his attendence last year.
So, start thinking about those questions and contact me again before October.

Have the plane tickets, Table rent in the mail , and have the hotel room. Just need to build up a war chest

You guys that fly in and need a ride, why not get a few others together and rent a car?
Like Ed said,stay home, that`s more for me!!!

I always rent a car..Works best for moving the goods..

Quit dumping on my hometown. I live in Monroeville.

THULE (BOB) LOOK ME UP WILL HAVE 2 TABLES ON WALL..........DAVE H

Hi Dave, if I remember correctly, at last year's MAX, you had to leave for home on Friday morning. I will definately find you this year at the MAX. The new building (Convention Center) is comming along just fine. I plan on going into it when it is open in September, just to look around. See you at the MAX.

Remember,

Hi Dave - Wes and I will see you there.

HELLO JEFF,
HOW IS THE ARMY TREATING YOU? WHERE ARE YOU AT THIS TIME? WE WILL ALL BE SET UP TOGETHER YOU, ME, WES, AND SCOTT...IT WILL BE GREAT SEEING YOU AGAIN..........DAVE

Hi Dave - Looking forward to MAX. Army is doing well, but will be transitioning soon to a new life.

I read this thread, I can not believe how you guys complain about the shows down south. Like the Max show. Your all spoiled. Have you ever been to a show in Canada. "She ain't no Daisy up here" Slim pickings is not the word , if you see one German helmet or uniform or Canadian WWI or WWII you be lucky. You guys should be thankful there are shows like the Max and the SOS . So stop complaining and enjoy the hunt.

Thanks Joe Semen

Don't forget....only one month till the MAX!
