It's an hour and a half trip each way for me. I try to get to the shows there a couple of times a year, just wasn't up to it this time.

And yes, there is usually a decent supply of vintage material there.

Yes, that's the problem if you live on Long Island (I'm in Huntington area). It's too exhausting. Fight the LIE traffic, pay exorbitant bridge fees, get back on the surface streets, parking is an expensive nightmare,, etc, etc, et al, et al. Maybe we can get a carpool going for the next one?

Or even though it's a little time consuming -- take the train to the show

You obviously have no idea what that would entail on a weekend.

Monday to Friday I take the train to Manhattan, and wouldn't even consider driving on a daily basis.

However . . . an hour and a half drive each way to White Plains, would turn into a two trains, two subways and a walk, probably averaging 3.5 to 4 hours each way! It would still cost me about $25 even though I have a monthly ticket for one of the trains, and if my son was going with me that would add bring the total transportation cost to about $70. The end result would be that I would never go.

Paul, easy on those exorbitant bridge fees . . . I design bridges for a living so I sometimes wish the fees were higher!

I hit the WP shows maybe 2 or 3 times a year. I'll try to keep you in mind next time I'm going, which likely will not be until the fall (summer is pretty well booked up already).
