...then Barry Levin unexpectedly died a few days before the 1994 one. It was absolutely traumatic for many of the people who attended.

In my case it created a show-specific PTSD sort of thing in my brayne, so I never went back. Too many associations and memories.

I'm not sure why but now I'm considering it. Maybe it's that breakfast place a block north of Premal's. :lol:

So, is it a serious show these days, or just a big swap meet? Etcetera. Enquiring minds want to know.

It is the largest show besides Chicago, and very busy for vendors and consumers. It was sold out a few weeks ago for vendor tables. And there will be another pipe maker meetup at my shop on Sunday.
