Downstate. Close enough to be able to drive up on Wednesday afternoon but not close enough to sleep in my own bed every night (I envy those of you who are able to do that).

Dayton, OH. I’m super ok with a Chicago/Cleveland rotation from here.

Milwaukee - pretty quick and easy drive down but plan to stay overnight at least one night depending on how much of the show I get through each day.

I collect Hockey, got bored with Basketball and other stuff. Most Aussies would come out for Basketball, I used to do that years ago.

I think The Hobby are doing the West Coast show.

HOCKEY!??!! I stay up to date with Australian sports/news (mostly for AFL info) and I've never seen hockey mentioned. That's for to be an interesting story. I got into AFL during the lockdowns when the choice was between it, KBL, and replays of old games.

On the dealer listing/floor plans, The Hobby is listed as one of the dealers upstairs in Chicago. I'll still stop by even if it's just NBA but AFL stuff would've made my show!

You should message them and ask them to bring some footy cards along.

A good buddy is into Hockey and got me interested. Lot less issues with ridiculous box prices for most hockey products, outside 23-24.

Ummm…it’s in Rosemont. Not exactly dealing with the Southside here.

Well technically it is close to O'Hare... (Those who know about Daley Sr's shenanigans will get that joke.)

In all seriousness, unless you're coming from the city, you don't go near anywhere close to what the media portrays as "Chicago". That's nearly similar to calling Ann Arbor "Detroit". Everything is booked nearby so if you need a hotel, look towards Dekalb. It's going to be in Chicago for 3 years and then is going to Detroit or Atlanta.
