For many years the conventions organized by Mike Berkus and Steve Brunner were held during the Memorial and Labor Day weekends in Anaheim and business was always brisk. There were also major shows during these weekends in Los Angeles across from LAX and at the Buena Park Hotel next to Knotts Berry Farm. It would be nice to have these shows in our backyard once again!

Oh man you're bringing back memories. I'm hoping that these shows are going to continue and they become the West Coast National that we've all been waiting for and deserve.

For those in So Cal, I guess there have been some fairly large shows in Del Mar (San Diego) and they will be putting on what looks like a very big show July 14th-15th at Pechanga Casino in Temecula. If you google del mar card show it should lead you to the website. That will leave almost 2 months between that one and the Labor day show to reload the coffers.

Need some Vintage shows in Norcal. I'm dying over here!

Now that shows are booming again, promoters have got to do a better job in promotion and communication. For example, a few weeks back there was a show at the Palm Beach Convention Center, which I only found about days before by word of mouth. I would have been there in a flash but had already made prior plans.

Sorry, I just opened another thread asking about the Ontario show before I saw this thread - asking forgiveness here.

My 2 friends and I just changed our plans about attending the nationals in Chicago after seeing the Burbank show in Anaheim! That's great. The last time I was there was for the nationals in 2000. Maybe that $2K expense savings from cancelling our Chicago trip can go towards purchases! Of course, that will have to be divided up between Pechanga, Del Mar and Anaheim.
