Someone, on another pipe forum, complained that the smoking tent closes at midnight. Since I usually get up at 4:30 am, I am more worried about not getting into the smoking tent until 6:00 am!

If I was going, I would be wondering what to do between 12:00AM and 6:00AM….Who would have time to sleep?  I guess I would just smoke outside.  In Montana the bars are closed from 2:00AM to 8:00AM.   There was at least one thing I liked about Louisville when I was there for the Kentucky Derby several times, if I remember correctly, the bars were open until 4:00AM.  I had to be at the track for work by 6:00AM, so breakfast in the hotel banquet room was at 5:00AM.  I never miss breakfast, I get a nasty “hangry” disposition and I am even less pleasant to be around than normal 😬

I’m guessing that’s when the bar staff are done are done for the night. I can’t imagine them kicking everyone out at 12:00

Well there were those of us in the CPCC who used to bring fancy travel tour buses to the show and party to the weee hours, but due to totally foreseen circumstances, it ended when we got old.:)

I don't know the reason for closing the tent at midnight. Since I am usually waking up at 4:30 am, I am sorry I can't smoke at my usual time.

The Chicago Pipe Show begins this week on Thursday with the start of the pipe making seminar (2 days long)

If any of you are coming or are  just curious, the club now has a new (and greatly improved) web site here  https://chicagopipeclub.com/

For those who enjoyed the Pipe Show at Pheasant Run, I don't think it will be there anymore.

I really wanted to go to the Chicago Pipe show but crime in the city is so high I decided to opt out. Which really sucks - because with the state of the Government's War On Tobacco who knows how much longer Pipe Shows will continue.

My wife and I have been wanting to make a visit to the Chicago Field Museum but each time we get up the nerve there ends up being another record week-end for shootings in the city, so once again we retreat to the sanctuary of our home, lock the door and watch a week-end movie marathon. Not how I envisioned my Golden Years.

I sure am glad I don’t have to worry much about those kinds of troubles here.  Law enforcement does not put up with that crap, they drop crooks left and right.  The crime has risen markedly here in the last couple of years.  I’m not sure if it was the “pandemic”, or this states legalization of recreational marijuana, or the increase in “out-of-stater” dirtbags.  Meth has been a problem too.  The anhydrous ammonia used to fertilize crops is used in meth production.  Farmers have to lock the taps on their tanker cars in the field because shitbags were stealing it to make meth.  I just wish more of those dirt-chickens would “accidentally” get downwind of it when stealing it.

@ghostsofpompeii  Well the good news is that the show was held in Lincolnshire which is 20 miles north of the city and is very safe

It will most likely become the new home for the show.

As far a visiting the city, I would say your instincts are good, I live 17 miles west of downtown and we just don't go there.

The powers that want to destroy this country have done a fairly good job on Chicago, its all a great shame but I do not think this can last forever, at some point people will revolt.

I will say this for the Police in Indiana. My wife goes to the internet each morning to read about the crime in our area, and both the State and County Police have been doing a bang-up job of catching criminals from Illinois who have been dealing drugs, stealing cars, or other illegal activities. Those involved in interstate pursuits have been caught and arrested in record numbers. And best of all ... put in jail.
