Everybody liked the camp chairs we brought because they're very comfortable. I just ordered another pair, which have an "estimated arrival" at the store for June 6. *gack*
I figured I'd let you know in case anybody else wants to order some to bring.
It's the ALPS Mountaineering Camp chair. I wanted it because the weight limit means it wasn't going to dump me on the grass. You can Google for it like I did and see what prices and availability are...
I got the two I have from the Sportsman's Catalog, also known as "Bargain outlet" apparently. They show the new mesh version of the chair but they say they're sold out until August. Amazon has the but it comes from Sportsman's outlet, supposedly with factory shipping. I dunno if that's how they sent mine last year.
I just ordered another pair of the old non-mesh version from the REI outlet for store pickup. They have it on sale due to "special purchase." Of course, I get to bite my nails because the "estimated arrival date" at the Northbrook store is June 6.

Note that REI wants $30 for shipping if you don't ship to a store.
I also spotted the mesh version on eBay.

I considered ordering ANOTHER pair from the eBay store, in hopes that one pair arrives in time, but there is a limit to how much space I have to carry them, even if I don't have to worry about the weight. Six chairs might not fit. As it is I bungeed them on top of the rear seat/cargo bay.
See ya at Gastons (I hope)
Action shots!
Those are the chairs in the (unopened) plastic bags leaning on the wing:

(I ordered them just before last year's, too. I'm pathetic.)
