Yes as I said read earlier
April 2nd 1969 scarfed pink champagne holly wood and 65/66 downbeat snare, and , supra same year very minty kit old pies
66/67 downbeat with canister
Super 400 small round knob
1967 super classic obp
once the brass ceases to glitter, and the drum looses its luster, and the stage remains dark, all you have left is the timbre of family.

Thanks! Is it worth buying the VIP ticket for the weekend or just the regular?
To me it depends upon your goal. If you are wanting to get access to deals before the general public and intend to actually make deals, or you want to enjoy looking around on Friday while people set up and for the first two hours on Saturday and Sunday in relative quiet before the general public arrives and things start to get loud, then the VIP pass is the way to go.
If you want to catch the presentations and clinics and have an interest in looking but not buying, then the regular daily passes should be fine.
Either way, I suggest you buy it in advance so you can avoid the purchasing line when you first arrive.
You are wise to set up meets or know where people are going to be ahead of time. It gets chaotic and loud. If you do not know what someone looks like because your only know them through the internet, you are probably going to pass by them ten times and never actually meet them.
Enjoy the show. I will be there at least Saturday and Sunday. Driving up on Friday from Kansas City, so not sure if I will spring for the VIP passes this year or not.

Great advice. Thanks KC!
I'm more going for the eye candy and window shopping... I think. If I find something that I can't live without, then ill take it home with me. I'll be flying in from Houston, TX, so I'll have to find a way to ship whatever I purchase, if it's more than a snare drum.. back to Houston.
