Events on Wednesday Night at the National?

[Knightlax5]

Hi I'm going to the national this year, I'll be getting in early Wednesday and leaving late on Thursday. Thus I'm only in town on Wednesday. I know there are trade nights throughout the week but I wanted to see if anyone knew of any other get togethers or events on Wednesday night. Thanks!

The only Wednesday event I remember from the last couple Chicago Nationals is a really busy informal 'trade night' at the Loews Hotel just south of the convention center. It went strong into the night the last couple years that I stopped by. It was in the lobby, down a hallway and into a larger back room.....lots of modern, but a fair amount of vintage as well. Hope that helps.

I use to organize a meetup on the Wednesday nights for a few of the Nationals back around 15 or so years ago. I recall we had a nice turnout (~10) of Net54 members at the restaurant/bar close to the convention center for both of the Baltimore shows (2010 & 2012).

Show is open late Wednesday so its normally just a rush to get food/drinks at 8pm when it shuts down.
