Basic questions / advice for National

[calvindog]

The National starts at 3:30 on Weds; is it busy on the floor then or does it take a while longer before all the dealers have their cards out?

Assuming one eats the food that is served in the convention center does anyone have any idea when the lines might be the shortest?

[calvindog]

I've heard anecdotally that the burger and hot dog lines are very long at the show but the tofu and salad lines are a breeze.

Jeff is there a particular brand of shoe or sneaker you recommend for walking the floor?

How much time should I set aside for stretching before the show opens?

Jeff,

Looking forward to meeting you and others at the National. I don't know about others, but H & S along with most other dealers are setting up on Tuesday. Everything should be up by Wednesday. I will periodically be at the Huggins and Scott booth, but will also be moping around. This is my first National and I hope not to spend my meager allowance by the first day!
