Anaheim?

Three hour drive from my house to Anaheim Convention Center, and I couldn't get in. I carry very little cash and no ATM/debit cards. But parking was cash only and show entrance was cash only.

I expect "cash only" for a local train show run by a local club. But a National show? What century are they in?

For all the vendors there who accept Visa and Mastercard, I had budgeted a lot of money for the purpose of buying all those things that I prefer to look at closely at before purchasing (such as rolling stock and books).

Oh well. A very early morning (I'm not a morning person), 6 hours and ~$70 in gasoline down the drain.
