Spoken like someone who has never promoted a show.

I did a two day show in the Poconos, a few guys here might remember it. The workload is immense. Now multiply what I did times at least 20 to get even a vague idea of what the National is like.

With White Castle a short walk from my last stay I hope it comes back to Cleveland myself!

Sadly, no more white castle restaurants in the Cleveland area.

One more inconsequential vote for Anaheim. The National started here, and we can't get it back.

Plus Cleveland has the 'Christmas Story' house to visit. Kind of a fun if you haven't been. They have leg lamps in many sizes.

Yep. I bet there's at least a small staff that works the entire a year on events like the National. Also true for big auto shows, marathons - people would be amazed what goes into organizing a marathon in a big city.

Hope it gets back to Cleveland as well. Traffic in and near Chicago is annoying. Cleveland is easy.
