If your show is anything like the one last weekend in Baltimore, stay home, save your money and turn some pens. It was small, there were few worthwhile demos, a bunch of stands were hawking Chinese junk- all of which you can get as cheeply at HF (as a matter of fact the 6" digital caliper @ HF for 16.99 was a "show special" for 39.99 at one stand).
The was one gal in tight pants selling something with lots of guys watching (her not the sharpening system).[:X]
CSUSA had a limited bunch of kits and blanks @ 10% off.
I couldn't find a reason to stay for more than 2 hours, spent zero, came home and ordered stuff from Ryan, Ernie and CSUSA...
It ain't worth the time, gas and $$ to get in...my 2 cents worth[
