WELL I told John from JSGems I would try to make it to the Denver show this weekend. The weekend was looking bad though, and after I asked about cabbing machines I knew I had to find a way to make it down today. I got the hatches battened down with work stuff and headed to Denver this morning after dropping the kids at school. I found John and got a chance to meet him and his wonderful wife Susanna (not sure on the spelling there) We had a great visit and John was very patient with me while I had him by the ear for a *long* time (thanks bud) John and Susanna doing their thing: I popped in a couple other places that I knew - Blue Stone from Loveland Colorado had a booth and I said hi. TheGemShop.com had a booth and some fantastic rough and I said hi to them and got a little something extra. BUT the real reason I went today - in addition to getting the chance to meet some folks face to face - was this, which is now in my basement: John sold me this - very gently used - Genie for *a song* - and I can't believe I have it. I can sit inside the house now this winter (instead of in the freezing garage with numb hands) and not get a shower (which is what my Lortone combination machine does) - AND get stones all the way from preform to polish without resorting to the vibe! I am obviously very excited about this, but in spite of all that it was really great to meet John and get to pick his brain a little.
