I'll be there for the media previews. The cool thing about it is that every single car is unlocked so you can crawl all over them. Plus, no crowds whatsoever.

I might head down during the day on Friday, the 16th if I can cut out of work for a while. It's the only week day I am in town during the show and can't deal with the weekend crowds. I really want to check out the Pontiac G8.

You will never want to go to the auto show on a regular day again.

Want to go, but work is really getting nuts so it will be a "spur of the moment" decision for me. I'll know it when it happens kind of thing.
Will probably be a weekend day (if at all) unfortunately.

I'll be there tomorrow for media day. The nice thing is every car is open, unlike when the public is there. The downside is hauling around 50 pounds of camera gear.
