Was this the American stamp where it was thought that some of us might meet in 2015? I had a sort of memory that it was further north and later in the year.

I think I'm the only person in this part of the country on this board. But is anybody else planning to go to Riverside? It's always great to meet and put a face with a name!
but I would strongly encourage any collector who is at all within a reasonable distance to attend. Admission is always free, so it's just your travel expenses, plus any purchases you might happen to make! The APS truly does an outstanding job with these shows. You'll be proud to be a stamp collector, and the hobby is never presented in a better light than it is at the winter or summer shows.
There are expected to be more than 110 dealers at the Grand Rapids show!

I just saw that there's going to be first-day ceremony at the Chalmette Battlefield, on Thurs, 1/8/15, at 9am, the day before the stamp show starts.
It's worth the experience of going to a first-day ceremony if you haven't done it before. Maybe get your ceremony program (or sheet of stamps) signed by some of the VIPs in attendance (including the stamp designer if s/he attends).

Hmmmmm... I've never been to Michigan and August is a pretty good vacation month to head north and get away from the suffocating heat and humidity down here.
I went last year and enjoyed it. I plan on going this year and even took off from work to attend. But there's one little problem. I don't see anywhere that says WHERE the show is! (by where I mean where in New Orleans.) Is it going to be in the same place as last year?

Phil, yes its being held in the same place. Here is the info I pulled off of the APS site.....

kacyds, thanks. Ok, Good. That's easy for me to get to. I'll be coming in from highway 90. I plan on going Friday, early, but it depends on what the wife wants. I've literately had 2 days off in the last month and I promised her a day.... little date thing, know what I mean? And she hates New Orleans so doing something there is out of the question. So it will probably be Saturday, but I'll have to wait to see.
