Don't hold me to this, but I think all you will see on Thrusday is the Talent Searh Show. It starts in the evening I think. If it's like before it doesn't cost anything. The regular Convention doesn't start till Friday I think. Maybe someone else can help you better.

You will see lots of vendors scrambling to set up displays -

I am fairly sure that Donna is correct -

Well, my main reason for going would be to test out new guitars and amps watch ect... I guess if I have to leave by noon on friday it would be a wasted trip. Sounds like thursday there wont be much of that available, or it wont be a full day?

Most vendors want be set up till sometime Thursday or early Friday. Not for sure what time the show starts Friday. Sorry, wish you could make it for the whole thing.

There's usually a lot of vendors set up and ready to go by the Thursday evening - that's been my experience anyway. And certainly on Friday morning 10:00 or so things should be humming. If you want to try something out don't be shy about asking - most vendors would go out of their way to help you out if they knew you didn't have the whole weekend. You will not feel like leaving, I can promise you that.

The Grand opening in the grand ballroom will be at 10:00 A.M., continuing until Sunday afternoon. You should be able to see lots of products Thursday evening and Friday morning. Come on down.

Alex, Justice Steel Guitars will be up and running by noon on Thursday with lots of new Justice guitars for you to try out.
The Thursday night show is great, they will be some great players playing Thursday night that you don't want to miss.
Stop by and say howdy.
