Red,
I agree on the Sunday meet. I'm still waiting on a press pass for the event (may or may not happen) so I may end up go two days.
The show is 10 am - 6 pm daily...again here's a link for some general info:

I believe they will still have the parking lot open on the site of the former Convention Center...1 block away. There's a couple of hotels around the Old Convention Center site where we could met for Breakfast/coffee prior to the show.
Hoping the weather holds up...
