Since the 'Its a Gas' show will be at the Four Seasons... does anyone know what setup will be like? Will there be a room-room trading time since its at a hotel now?
Trying to decide whether to stay at the actual hotel or a friends lake house.

The way I read it, everything will be in the convention hall. I predict that it will be a real bear on Friday trying to unload all the vendors and getting set up. It used to take well in to the afternoon on Friday to get everyone unloaded when you could drive in and unload close to your space. With all the vendors having to unload through two doors with dollies and two wheelers it will take a lot longer. Pray for good weather or double the trouble unloading and be ready for a lot of people in a bad mood! Glad I don't have a booth......If you have to get a room somewhere anyway I would just get one there. The rate was reasonable at $98 a night and you'll be right there regardless. If you got a friends place to stay and save the room $, that would be nice as it can't be too far from the show anyway.......GB

I got my spots Seems they would have mentioned room to room on the flyer? So I seriously doubt it... As for set up, it's the first time at this new place so you will have to ask the show promoters about how they plan to do it... I, for one, LOST the best spots in the house with this move so I hope it works out well.... Everything will need to be carried or carted in...so dont forget your dollies and carts... See you there

I've been reading the reviews online of the accommodations at the Lodge, and they are not very good. I thought about bringing the family, but now I don't know. I hate walking into something blind. I know the priority is the show, but I want to have a good experience with the room. Thinking I might want to stay somewhere else.Pat.

Pat, I haven't stayed there in years but it was always a nice place. If the reviews are less than stellar I would imagine that its due to the age of the hotel, especially if it hasn't been updated on a regular basis. Some of those landmark hotels seem to lag behind in renovations and I'm not sure why unless the are trying to keep the charm of the original draw. I can't imagine it would be a dive, even now, but you never know I guess.....GB
