Anybody else going to the big swap meet at PIR or the Expo next weekend? (4/1-4/3)
I am headed down Saturday for sure, and maybe Friday afternoon, too.

I'll be there on Thursday, the 31st...I'll be in Canby that weekend 
for a slot car race!
It's this week. Anybody?
It's looking like I will be up Thursday morning for the PIR track and Friday for the expo center.
Just a bit too far and a bit too soon 
I was thinking about an Olympia area get together later this year though (to try to snag the folks that couldn't make it to the last PNW get together in Tacoma)
I'll be at the Expo Center bright and early on Friday morning. Depending on how that goes, I might go back for the track on Saturday.
PIR was great today. Met up with my father and brother at a decent hour despite hitting Portland morning rush hour at exactly the wrong time.
I called it quits without seeing it all. My bro's fitbit logged us at over 12 miles hiked.
Got a great deal on a custom afco radiator for the Fiat. Left a lot of cool things behind simply because I didn't want to carry them around all day.
It really would take three days to see it all at both locations.
I really wanted the Sunbeam rapier for 1500. 
This is how I imagine what a Portland car meet looks like 
In reply to Spoolpigeon:
More or less, yeah. But with more beards, coffee, and a Subaru Legacy instead of a Volvo.
I'll be there all day tomorrow. GRM shirt, Wix hat, green wagon, and a 4-year-old
Say hi if you see me.
I'm not gonna go this year. Too much useless Chebby stuff and too many projects and a nursery to put together.
Maybe next year and I can take our daughter :)
Well that was a bust. I walked the entire Expo Center and PIR and still didn't find a single car part to buy. Jav Jr found a few toy cars to buy and I picked up some slot cars and 2 models. There were 5 Javelins and 1 AMX for sale, all awful cars at crack pipe prices. No AMC parts worth mentioning, and nobody wanted to haggle on anything.
It was a blast! I can't for next year!
