If it's the same hall as the 1st convention, it's the building that is off by itself and at a 45 degree angle (vs. all the other buildings which are square to the road grid), in the center of this pic:

it is the same hall as the first Convention.
There will be Vintage HIWATT Convention and Ampfest banners identifying the building.

Another missed convention. :( Wife and I skedaddled out of Chicago in May. Wish I could have made it at some point.

Hope this year's convention is the best yet!

I'll be there in spirit with my Hiwatt brethren. I know this event will rock! Mr.Cornick's presence at the convention is a real jaw-dropper. I hope you'll be able to record some key moments... :wink: For the occasion, this could be retitled: "Back to the Hiwatt Family".http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uo_aqcub ... re=related
