Thank you for all the good advice and suggestions. I am really looking forward to attending the convention. I'm sure it will be overwhelming the first time and I know I am going to want to buy alot more than I will be able to. I was thinking about that sugesstion of bringing a notebook to keep track of my purchases and also to make a list of some things that I am looking for. I will try to bring what few traders I have since everyone seems to suggest doing it. I am coming from the East coast and I was thinking that if I end up buying too much too bring back on the plane I might have to ship a box. I'm not thinking just chips because I also collect ashtrays, menus, drink glasses, lighters, etc
