Gauging Interest In Bus Trip to Ann Arbor Swap?

[HappyCoral]

I am wondering if a bus trip is worth organizing to the Ann Arbor Swap. If we get enough people together I am sure we can get a reasonable rate from Chicago to Ann Arbor. This is a very nice swap with about 500 in attendance in past years, and this year will be bigger.

Details are below. Post below if interested. At the minimal maybe some carpools can be setup.

The 5th Annual Ann Arbor Swap is at
Dexter K of C Hall
8265 Dexter Chelsea Rd.
Dexter, MI 48130

Yes, you can go just to look if you want. Or you can buy. You can try to trade, but not everyone will. Definitely bring a cooler or styrofoam container like Matt said, and of course lots of $. Some people take cards, but don't count on it.

If I go, I am driving up the night prior. I can't get up that early the same day and do that drive.

 

[DAS212]

I feel like I would have to limit the amount of $$$ I had or I would go like a kid in a candy store haha

 

[DAS212]

Yes sir. This would be my first time as well.

Let me know if you end up going!!

Let me know if you end up going!!

If the bus ticket is cheap enough, or if people car pool and toss in for gas, I'm in. I'm not willing to do like a 75$ bus ticket then go.
