OK so far there are going to be some bad boys from Jerzy (aren't they all?) showing up and 20 or so MS 80s are leaving the great state of Iowa. More merchandise than that should be there, I hope.

I hadn't received my reply from the organizers of IG and called them direct. The contact numbers are different that those listed on IG-go to their site. The organizer, John Logsdon, stated that they are behind a few days due to parking lot issues. That doesn't pertain to me(I am not selling) however it explains the lateness of the Holiday Inn bookings from IG. Its getting closer!

He was gutting a TOK34 in the front lot!! Looking forward to seeing everyone again! For the record no conformation yet every year it seems to come a day or two before I leave. I bet the other side of the hotel lot will be filled up with vendors considering the loss of spots.

Rob, if you come through Colorado stop by Larry thanks for the invite but most likely will blow thru CO fast trying to get to KS and NE to pick the smaller roads and larger farmlands with the limited time on hand. Leaving next Wed afternoon and heading east. See you soon, Rob

Well I phoned the Holiday Inn directly and to quote the airline industry-"They are oversold". So I am in the Hamptons Inn up the road. They will be shuttling people back and forth and/or you can make the 4 block walk. It's a good plan B I think. If you phone them to confirm your room, ask to speak to the person coordinating the IG bookings.

I received a confirmation post card in the mail a few days ago, with a confirmation number. It says "Arrival must be guaranteed with a credit card number by July 11, 2014" My postcard was mailed (postmarked) July 11, 2014. I called the hotel a few minutes ago and was told the person handling that was gone for the day, have to leave a message or call back tomorrow. I was planning on doing the room vending, now I am worried about that as well. Should be pretty simple to book a room with a credit card and not have to worry about it.

I just got off the phone with the hotel. I spoke to Janice who is handling the IAGAS reservations. She said if u received a confirmation card with a number, you have a room. So I guess I am good. Now just wondering where my spots will be.

Or if anyone is coming through or around Nashville, TN perhaps a transportation agreement could be made.

Cheese Curds will be there both at our trailer (if we get a spot) and John Hudson's (Tankar) room which I believe is 110. I believe the photo is taken Wednesday at 11am at the north end of the parking lot by the new addition.

Thanks Ernie, I just got home and checked my email. That pic blows up and reads perfectly but when I tried to resize it for posting with the Oldgas resize tool it blurred up. I will try to resize it on my big computer tomorrow and see if I can get it to show up in a size small enough to post. Mikes is readable but it's pretty blurry so maybe I can get a little better copy up......

I will be set up on the North side of the building spaces 55 thru 59 with my usual load of pumps. Sounds like there will be a nice selection of pumps this year.
Got booted to another hotel, not happy at all about that. Somehow the vendors that pay to make the show happen don't rate first consideration for the rooms. Maybe I'm missing something here. Sent my entry in before the cutoff. Look forward to seeing everyone there, Tom.

Racecop, You always bring a load of pumps. Three years ago when you pulled in was like a wild frenzy of who could buy the fastest. I wouldn't be surprised if most pumps this year would already be pre-bought before you get there.

I feel very fortunate! Mike Hudson and I will be set up in our usual spaces at the back entrance to the hotel. We have 5 spaces--365 thru 369 we always have an extra beer or two and usually some excellent stories from the last year. We'll have a few cool items for sale too! Stop by and look for the old guy in the white Cities Service shirt and hat!

I still haven't decided which trailer to take, If I take pumps I will need the 16 footer. If I stick with just signs and smalls I can make the do with the 8 foot. And maybe in the room. I have spots 106,107, and 108. On the end of the row in an L shape.
Hope to meet a lot more of your this year, last year I wandered around in a petro fog.

24 hours of driving for me. Leaving soon to visit friends in the eastern side of the state and then back to DM. I will be bringing a few pesos, golf clubs and lots of interest&enthusiasm and a trailer to my first IG. BTW there are a lot of great golf courses in and around DM, my favorite is the Harvester in Rhodes, 30 minutes away, so if you've got time and your clubs that is one to try out.

Making my first trip out to Iowa Gas loaded with porcelain signs. I'll be leaving Maine tomorrow morning and headed west. (I think it is close to a 24 hr drive) making a few stops for globes and some signs including a Sweet Single sided Super Chevy service. I'll have a sweet working Double sided octagon spinner clock & a mint Coca Cola Salesman sample with the rare Building Better Business bag with me. Stop bye to check us out at spaces 105,109 & 110. Look for the Giant White Sprinter Van.

It's the biggest one you can get. We call it "Moby" because it's a big white whale. I improved my normal mpg from like 15 to 25 around town. I'm thinking over all it will cut my yearly fuel bill in half. Plus the seats are 100% more comfortable for my Sciatic nerve in my lower back & Legs. See you there.

I'm going to have to come over and see that van! I've always thought that might be the ticket for these gas & oil shows? Keep track of your mileage on the way out. I'd like to hear what it averages!

It is & I like to park there too. Aim to park in the northern most part of that parking lot,up against the fence. There's a northern walk out area there so you can walk right across the street & right into the swapmeet going on in the hotel P/lot. Makes it easier to for when you're storing things back to your truck to.

Heck I am already here in Iowa but got lost and am visiting with friends out near the big river. The parking lot would be kind of barren right about now. Weather is great right now and will be even nicer this week. Even Dick's frequent heat prostration would be a non-problem! See y'all Monday evening.

To all you guys making the trip to Iowa Gas, wishing you all a safe trip & return from this great event. One day I would love to make the long trip to your unbelievable continent and experience these shows (its on my bucket list), but for the time being just seeing the pics from the event just make me cringe & get goose bumps. All the best & happy buying & selling

Couldn't stand it. We were going to leave today, but yesterday I told the family, "get ready, we're leaving today!" Drove over to St. Louis last night. My wife hates the drive. Only have six hours to drive today instead of twelve! Is there a petroliana addicts anonymous? I admit, I know! I'm addicted!!! Pat

So I have heard this show starts earlier and earlier. I arrived today and was scoping out the place and run into Kevin Frith. He's here ready to go at 0600 tomorrow. But there are a few rooms open already selling their wares. One fellow said he was here on Sunday! So there you have it-it unofficially starts on Sunday now. My wife is here as well but I sold here on a the trip by blending in a visit with friends down here. Otherwise she wouldn't go. And I need her driving skills, she can do 3-5 hours at a time and when you're doing 24 hours that is real handy. Looking forward to sunrise tomorrow!

Here are some early pictures from IGGY. Now I don't know who owned what or sold for what $. So don't ask! But it was great to meet some of the OGers whose names I recognized but did not know personally.

Thanks to all the vendors who took the time to load their trailers, make the trip, unload and set up, tear down, reload their trailers and make their trips back home and unload their trailer, to make it possible for us to buy items to add to our collections. I had a good time there, it was a great show.

We also got back last night... just a 1-day trip for us, which I found out was definitely not enough time!
Nice meeting a lot of you that I hadn't before.
For those wondering, it is true what they say... I saw several vendors leaving on Wednesday morning! There was one vendor with a nice straight Wayne 60 that I saw when I entered the lot at 7am... went back to make him an offer at 11am and he was gone, lol.

Any way it was an enjoyable whirlwind visit to Iowa for me and my wife but it involved lots of driving. We did 23 hours and 52 minutes of driving time over two days to DM and the gas consumption efficiency plummeted with the trailer on the back. More than a few idle conversations that I over heard were in reference to doing something to make gas consumption better; going diesel, getting a MB or Dodge tall van. While DB makes light of the fact lots of the good stuff is gone by Tuesday night in fact there is still plenty to chose from on Wednesday. One vendor showed up on Wed AM and was swarmed. MM had his pumps barely unloaded and they were all unspoken for. The open room buying was new to me and you get a different look into peoples lives and habits. Some had young children running around the bed which was laden with GLOBES! Most of the guys are good ole boys with a wobbly pop in one hand and a yarn to tell. Prices for stuff seemed to drop even over the 36 hours I was there. So there is another benefit to being there longer and/or later.
Most of all there were people there to help or loan your a trolley. Kudos to Kevin Frith, Mark Smith, the Hops, GasPumpRob for the hand they gave me with bringing stuff and or loading it. Also met a few class act guys in the auditorium that were old gassers. I will go again, it was a blast but I will give myself more time and a bigger wallet!

What I dont get, is it sounds as if many are back home already, and the auction is today!! So the show which is supposed to be on Wed.-Thurs. actually starts on Tuesday with early buying. Some people are loading up by noon on Wednesday according to one posting. And then the auction is Friday. Outside of my normal everyday confusion, I'm confused.

Some people are loading up by noon on Wednesday according to one posting. And then the auction is Friday. Outside of my normal everyday confusion, I'm confused. Steve, A lot of us use these venues as a way to pick up previously purchased items. One location makes it easier for most to make deliveries. I got there on Monday, parked my 24' car trailer in the, pay to park lot, next door. On Tuesday at 6 A.M. I was out picking up stuff and wheeling it to the trailer. I packed all day, while looking at all the stuff coming in. Spent time visiting with friends. I then picked up three more pumps on Wednesday morning. Once I was loaded, I had seen everything outside several times. I was on the road by 8 A.M. headed East. The room/room does not interest me as it feels like I'm imposing on a person's privacy. I know that's silly but it's just how I feel? The auction is always interesting but I have a collection that I need to pick up on Saturday morning and staying would have been cutting it way too close. Confusing yes but it's a way to make it all work. Paul www.severngaspumps.com

Paul I parked right beside your trailer and was hoping to meet you but that didn't happen. My trailer mostly had stuff that was pre-purchased. Iowa is a great central location. Steve as I said in an earlier post some people started selling stuff on Sunday. That bothers some but what the heck all power to you if you want to show up early. The Holiday Inn does have an air conditioned center court yard that allows for people to meet and greet especially if it is too warm out. It is a nice, if somewhat rustic venue, for what has evolved into IG. There's an auction? Just kidding of course but I was personally underwhelmed by the selection this year.
