Above was (I think) the old storage area. The other half is the old display area. Lower ceilings, but carpeted

That's it for yesterday.
The 1000 advertised tables are all sold as well as a few more they have been able to add in areas where the prints did not show room.
(I can tell you from my experience before I retired that setting up a trade show in a new venue is always hard as there are areas that seem unobstructed but are in front of emergency exits, etc, and areas that looked impossible on the prints that are wide open.)
More later,
Dave

Thanks for the photos Dave. Keep us informed.
Never argue with an idiot, he will only drag you down to his level and beat you with experience. And remember the early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

Many more to come but I cannot find my mouse and trying to sort/resize digital pics with the touch pad on my laptop is a pain. Good show so far. the Venue is great - better than the old one. Sales seemed slow yesterday but the top conditioned and rare stuff sold well as usual. More later I missed the great debate at the other hotel, but will get the details today. I have met many old friends and will post some pics tonight if I can find the (*&)^%&* mouse . Dave

Brian Rich. See his backpack ?
Brian has a little monk
Whose fleece is black as sin
Every dagger Brian buys
The monkey it goes in

Thanks. I've never made a MAX, but have been to a couple of SOS's. The photos are great.

Hi Dave, its a Red Cross prototype bayonet, square tipped to follow Geneva convention which didn't allow Red Cross personal to wear weapons, same as the hewers.

Menu at the snack bar. Not too adverturous but it was OK. I sampled the hot dog, the Kielbasa, and the Pizza on different days.
Note the late item at the bottom.

That's all Folks ! My take on the MAX: - A great new facility with good temperature control and lighting. Several people commented on the lighting. - A functional snack bar that serves decent food with a smile and has lids and paper trays so you can haul multiple drinks back to a stand. - A dining area where you can rest your feet, yak with friends as well as scarf a dog. - Aisle wide enough so you don't feel cramped and where you can dodge a guy on a segway From what I observed, rare or top conditioned items sold well. On the other hand, average SA / Army / Luft / K98's lingered as they have done for years. Probably the same applies to uniforms, lids, etc. And I met a lot of Forum guys. Damast, Tyrel Serge & Johnny, Robert Hassler, JR, Baz, Andy, Gailen, Craig, Jason, Iron Mike McAlvanah, Mike The Russian, to name a few. Dave

Excellent job of covering the show from start to finish. I think the pictures and comments are great!
I was very pleased, overall, with the way the show was run and business in general.I have never missed a MAX(Came close on time) and hope to make the next 25. Keep up the good work!

I'm really impressed with the new facility which we now share. Great lighting and good eats. Most of my customers were thrilled with the place. Of all the show promoters I've worked with over the years, the two Tom's do a damn good job making this show happen. I only wish there were more shows of this calibre around. Glad we also have the SOS. Can't wait to be there and see all my friends again. Dave, thanks for taking the nice pics.

Some good news: I talked to TW earlier and he told me that the MAX had signed a 5-year contract with that facility. Also the old Radisson - about to be a Doubletree - is taking reservations. They had a table opposite the snack bar on Saturday and I signed up. Not cheap  , but I will try it. I stayed at the Holiday Inn this time and it was OK but not that cheap either. Dave

Thanks everyone.I'll try for more next year.
Roy, the hotel will be a Doubletree hotel. Their website shows it opening in November 2009, but no phone number. Maybe try calling their main reservation number. The price was $139 for the room I got.

Thanks Eric, for your kind words. I missed you at MAX, but TW said you stopped by and said hello.
I will try to get the Doubletree number if one is available.

Is there any doubt that it is German militaria that drives the military antiques hobby?

Hey Dave
Great Photos thanks a mill for posting. It was a pleasure seeing all the forum members and meeting some of them for the first time. I love the new Hall, and sales where great. Can't wait for next year. Good work Toms.

Ron W,
Can your wife post some of her pics. As she is the Official Photographer they should be a lot better than mine.

Dave, sorry, but she is gone to TX for vacation and they are the property of MAX and Tom J. will select which ones are in the next years program, so we are kind of closed out on releasing them now.

Thanks for showing those great images - I hope , that one day I can make the jump across the big pond and enjoy it for myself - probably have to take some decent food with me as the menu looks a little uninspiring
If you dont know everything, you should know someone who does

Thanks Dave,
Other than having no hangover, no new toys, and still having a full wallet, it was just like being there!
