| Feb 4th weekend, anyone been ? Wife has a baby shower. Pop and I are looking to get out of the house. |
| The show in Norfolk was an embarrassment for the promoter. They should really offer a refund on your way out. About 3 or 4 vendors actually selling guns. More political reps pushing their candidates than actual firearm vendors. You could do a walk-thru of the hall in less than 30 minutes and you would be ready to leave, kicking yourself because you paid $5 to park, and $9 to get in. Really bad. |

I went to the Norfolk show before the election and it actually wasnt bad. I just got home from there and its less than 1/4 the size it was last time. I wont be going back. Hopefully VB is better next weekend. |

Hopefully VB is better next weekend. I went to the one before the election and thought it was bad. If it's down to 1/4 of that.... damn. On the bright side, when I went the parking attendant gave me an extra tenner with my change so I got paid $5 to park. |

At least VB and Hampton have free parking. |
| Bob's fought for years to get gunshows back to Norfolk. When they first returned they were pretty good, not as good as the old Hampton Coliseum shows or the old Richmond Showplace shows, but not bad. i scored some good deals back in the day. Now it's a shadow of what it was and Bob's needs to pull it's support for it and let it go away. |

Also I read on the website that the same group that runs the VB and Hampton shows will now run the Norfolk shows. |
