First Time at MCACN

[Andy]

Hey guys, I’m planning on going this year and it will be my first time coming to the show. I flew into O’hare for the first time earlier this year for business and noticed the convention center was very close to the airport. Any recommendations for a first timer to the show? I plan on attending Saturday.

I’m excited about the class of 69 display, the A12 gathering and honestly everything else about the show! Are there any vendors at the show? Thinking about what I may buy to bring back in my carry on haha!

One day isn't enough, but you'll see a lot of it. Actually 2 days isn't quite enough to take it all in. There are vendors and a swap meet area. You will probably want to go back next year and spend 2 days. Plan on doing A LOT of walking. The unveilings on Saturday morning is one of my favorite parts of the show. After you see this show all other shows will be disappointing to you.

I like going to MCACN although I'm going to miss this year. If you're flying in to O'hare, the shuttles will take you to the hotels arross the street from the Steven Center, providing you got one of those hotels. You can walk to the show. I like Sunday better...less people so you can see the cars better. They have food at all the hotels so you don't really need a car unless you want one. Enjoy yourself. I kick myself for not going more. It becomes a social event the more times you go.....Joe

Joe, I understand what you mean by a social event. I attended all but one of the Forge Tenn. shows and I looked forward to seeing guys I had met from year to year. I haven’t made it to MACAN yet but maybe soon.
Most of all I want to take the 4K to the Camaro Nationals in PA.. It came from the Philadelphia area when I bought it.

If you're only attending one day make it Sunday Andy. There's WAY less people which gives you a much better chance of actually getting to see everything in one day and getting pictures of the cars you love.

It's a great show. If you cannot get a shuttle, hop on the "L" for two dollars. The Convention Center and Hotels (Rosemont) are the first stop on the "L". Gibsons is great any of the nights. Good pizza nearby also. No need for a car.

We will be at our swap space. Stop on by. Look for two bald guys drinking beer and eating chocolate chip cookies.

You're going to have to narrow it down more than that.
