Sounds great Chris. Hope to see you there.

I'm really hoping I can check it out.
It seems like it's been ages since I've "played" with my stamps.
Tell me, is it just going to be dealers or will they have some other activities?

[kacyds]

Dealers only.....

Ok.
I made it to 2 shows this year, and not to sound critical, but I was hoping for a little more than just dealers. Some info or displays or something. Not just the same 4 guys that have been there both times.
But I'm still planning on going with a handfull of cash. All depends on my work schedule this week.
I know there's a dealer in New Orleans...... can't remember his name but he has a website. Will he be there?

[kacyds]

That's Bill with Nola Stamp Shop. For the last 3 years that I have been going, Bill has never set up a booth.

Normally this show has about 10-12 Dealers there.

ChickasawStampMan - checking to see if you are still planning on attending tomorrow morning?

[ChickasawStampMan]

Yes sir!!!
I plan to leave Gulfport, MS about 8:30am to arrive about 10am.
Have to leave about 12:30 to make the stamp club meeting back in Biloxi, MS.
Then going stay at the Hard Rock Casino in Biloxi for Sat and Sun nites, compliments of a good friend...
Boy, do I have a GREAT weekend ahead.

WE WANT PIX!!!!!

[kacyds]

Sorry no pixs Admin Bear.

I met up with Chris - ChickasawStampMan and also seen Bill from @nolastampshop. I told Bill he needed to come and reintroduce himself here at the new SB and I would help him anyway I can with his Stamp Supplies.

Both Chris and Bill are really nice fellows.........

As for pixs of stamps, I will scan the few New Orleans covers that I picked up and put it in the appropriate thread.

[ChickasawStampMan]

Hey. Really enjoyed meeting both of you!! . i spent about $100 on stamps and hinges... had to rush because i had the club meeting. I plan to show off what I got later this week.

[Phil]

I managed to make it as well. It was questionable for awhile ..... Friday I was offshore with not 1 but 2 broke helicopters. I managed to get 1 going but not the other and I was sure I was going to be stuck for night. But when the pilot said that there was no way in hell we were staying I didn't argue.

The show was pretty cool. What I liked so much was that there was actually a bit of a variety. About 10 dealers were present and what I liked was that a few of them were selling different lots and that's what I was interested in. Not to mention Bill was there with supplies. At the other shows I attended, there were no supplies offered.
I can't say I got anything earth-moving, but I managed a shoe-box full of US with many that I didn't have and a few different packets of 200-500 stamps.
