OH REALLY....!!!!!!!! With the baby being so young I will have to wait until a few weeks out before I will know for sure. (It's looking good though!)

Well the wife knows I could use a little get away, today she said I could go if I really want to. If I can get a friend to go for a trip this might be happening. I need to see Seattle anyway.

High quality herfing, like the good ol' days!

My brother and I got VIP. Figured since we don't have many cigar events here in WA, might as well go all out.

Can't wait, should be a fun time.

Sounds like a great time to me. Just need to put the engine back in my 71 911E and i can arrive in style.

I have been off the board for so long, I am just hearing about this!

I will be busy that weekend........... dang...!!!!

Im only in SO. Oregon, So worth the drive to get there.

I am so excited about this event. I'll be bringing Bill Paley from La Palina who will be hosting the VIP event Friday night at Brouwers. I'll also be bringing Sean Williams from El Primer Mundo who will be hosting the VIP after party at the Vertigo Club. Saturday I'll be at the Berger & Argenti booth most of the day. Matt Booth from Room 101 will be there. Erik Espinosa from 601. So many more. This event is going to make history as one of the best cigar events in the country. I've seen the layout and the guest list. You do not want to miss this!

I met Erik at J&J for a 601 event couple months ago. That guy is funny as all hell. He was really friendly and so laid back.

Anybody know if there is a dress code for the evening events on Friday and Saturday?

I doubt it, don't see why you'd dress like a slob in the first place. And I don't see a reason why to dress to impress either.

I know a few of the older gents will be wearing suits, but that's just their lifestyle.

Could always email info@seattlecigarexpo.com and ask and report back to us.

Well, I wasn't planning to dress like a slob, nor dress to impress. I guess I was more curious about the specific venues for the VIP events, neither of which I've ever been to.

I though somebody on this thread who's been there might know, but yours is sound advice; I'll do that

John from J&J posted...he'd probably just tell ya to come however. No need to get all fancy.

Bill from Vertigo posted, he's the owner of Vertigo where the after party is. He's always in a suit, but that's only because he owns and is always at his place, The Vertigo Club. Which is a private luxury club, so it there would be a reason to look a little nicer. I think there are some dress codes there if you were a member(no ragged jeans, no shorts, simple things like that), but it would make sense since it is a luxury club. I don't think those rules will apply the night of the party because I'm assuming most of the VIP people going probably aren't members of the club, so they might not know about it. And again, I don't really see anyone looking like a slob anyways.

Brouwers is a bar in Freemont, it's just a casual place. Since it's a closed door event, it's still the same place as if it was open to public. Really laid back place, so you would be fine wearing whatever. I guess it comes down to looking good for others if that actually matters.

we sound like a bunch of girls talking about what to wear. hahaha. Just don't wear the same shirt as me. I don't want us to look like twins.

Thanks for the insight on the venues.

Are you buying new shoes?

[thechrisdotcom]

hahaha

Wow, I never heard guys talk like girls....LOL! No seriously, there is no dress codes at all the venues. I'm sure you gentlemen will not be dress like a slobs anyway.

[KenS]

Got my VIP pass yesterday via Fedex . Looks like it'll be a great event!

[Aporschaguy]

I just bought my VIP ticket... It should be fun.

[thechrisdotcom]

My ticket will be at the door at Brouwers.

Im looking for a hotel near the venue that my wife will also enjoy. It doesn't need to be next to it but dt. I have stayed at the Hyat and the Executive. Both great hotels. Any info is appreciated.
