Anyone going to the WWing show in Sacramento (or Scratch-ma-tay-oh as my middle boy used to call it)? I do believe it's this weekend, correct?

Yessir. I'll be there. I might be in our WW club's booth, but most likely I'll be wandering around trying to bump into famous people.

nope... too far away :)

I'm curious, is this a traveling show sort of thing that goes to differnt cities?

I don't think I have ever seen an add for a woodworking show up here in my area.

I'll be there Friday afternoon. I've got my list started on what I "might" want to pick up if the price is right. Mostly consumable supplies (sandpaper, etc.) but I am looking for a few other items. I also take a list with "known prices" to keep me making stupic purchases.

Brad,

Yup, this one travels around the country to various cities. Check out the info here:

Though it's been getting smaller and smaller each year, it was just bought out this year and hopefully things will turn around.

That's a very good plan, Jim.

I have the Worksharp. Crazy thing is I bought it awhile ago and then bought the house so I haven't had a chance to use it yet. It's still brand new and has bout 20 seconds of time on the motor.

I usually get my sanding belts at the shows each year - but I really stocked up last year and haven't been consuming them lately so I still have plenty. I think this year I'll be going on Saturday to check things out, but I'm not sure how long I'll stay. If it's crummy, I probably won't hang out for long.

In past years, my wife and I would prepare well in advance. We'd freeze some soda bottles full of water and keep a soft cooler full of soda and sandwiches. We'd break out the cushioned in-soles for a full day of walking around. Last year, though, we were only there for half a day and then it was just boring.

I really hope to be surprised this year and lose my whole weekend to it.
