IDK how many are going to go to this as many didn't know it was on.  Last word we got from the workers there at the last gun show that May 2023 was the last of all events there due to the renovations.

Part of the routine promotion was to run radio ads and sometimes TV ads. We also posted flyers at the range and at gun shops. Due to the Blaisdell renovation work,  there was some doubt about this show. So there was less promotion.

Another thing I noticed that kind of "grinds my gears" is the removal of the bulletin boards at the Range. The board on the pistol range was replaced by huge signage about range rules.

Those having a booth, IDK if the kitchen will be operational. Last show it wasn't so there was no food to buy. So bring lunch.

Sounds logical.

On one occasion I bought a soda from the vending machines located just outside the entrance. They stopped me and said no beverages allowed in.

I just passed by and the side lot has construction going on.  THis is the lot where people drop off stuff and enter to load and unload things.

There's a big trench running almost the entire length of that lot between the convention hall and concert hall.  Very much doubt the lot will be back open tomorrow morning.

re-editing the youtube video-
I decided to re-edit because I was missing the light sabre guy.  :rofl:

Trivia---Apparently, Youtube throttles down the resolution if your internet connection is slow.

At the end of the gun show, I burned through the batteries I had so I went to an old backup camera.
The old camera takes nice pix but uses antiquated memory cards so that got corrupted and I lost about a dozen or so pix.
I should get a new camera.

New version-
