I just changed my flight to leave tomorrow (Friday) instead Saturday. I "finished" the show today, saw every booth.
I totally over did it the first day, walked non-stop (even ate my lunch standing) from 8:00am to 4:30pm. That was a mistake. My feet were fine, but my knees and lower back were a little sore. Second say I slept in a bit, got to the show about 9:30am, took my time, had a long (sitting!) lunch with a friend, then strolled the floor until 5:30pm.
Today (my last day), got to the show around 10am, skipped lunch, but took a several sitting breaks and left about 5:00pm, went out for dinner at Ellis Island (it was amazing).
I was to fly out Saturday, but I'm done... and I mean DONE! Just want to get home now, leaving a day early.
Got to meet Ed Burlew and Tony Bernardo at the CSSA party. Ran into SUN news at the IWI booth and at the CSSA party.
Great show for my first time, I'll definately return. Maybe not next year, but for sure the year after that.
Oh, and I purchased 1 item. Some vendors WERE selling directly at the show. Timney had a show special for their 3lb AR15 single-stage trigger for $175. None in stock at the show, but I pre-paid via credit card and it will ship from their head office tomorrow (Friday).
