It says show entry is from 9-12, and it takes an hour and fifteen to get from the mall to Newport, so should we just set the meet-up time at the Crystal Mall for like 8 am?
I don't know how this show is. If it's the type that fills up right when they open the gates, or what. I'd assume not?
If someone wants to throw out another time to meet, let me know.

Andrew I think its about 50 miles from the Mall to Newport -- depending on traffic, but 1 Hr would be fine I'd imagine. Shouldn't be lots of traffic early in the morning in the Fall.
EDIT: I just looked a Google map to confirm distance and it had 83 miles, going up to Providence and back down lol. Then did mapquest -- 55 miles using Rt 138. Much better!
See you all at Goat Island!!

Providence first? No way. Rt. 138 is the way to go.

I cannot believe how many ppl are going this year compared to last. Last year had a small section for imports.
