Boy you must be in good shape Scott!!! I scored some goodies. Ira has some really cool "beach rocks" (jaspers with sweet patterns). Even got a 2 cabber piece of AAA lapis for a halfway decent price. The silent auction is fun, I like those. You can get a rock for $1 or $2, still be helping the club, and it's ok if its a dud.

My family and I were there on Saturday. Great stuff. Silent auction was a lot of fun, we came away with a couple of nice pieces but I got rapidly outbid on some burro creek AZ agates. Nathaniel had a lot of fun on the kids "wheel of fortune" .

Boy you must be in good shape Scott!!! Yes, of course. I get exhausted sitting in my nice chair watching my kidlet tend goal! Her team won the tournament. The two teams were tied after 90 minutes of regular play. Beat the host team by shots from the mark. Glad to hear you made some nice scored Susan & Paul. Did you guys see Fish?

I didn't see anybody who introduced himself as Fish, but there was a younger guy (30s or 40s -- haha that's "younger" for the rock crowd) selling local (and other) rough, whom I later wondered if it might have been him. Didn't occur to me to ask his name at the time, duh! Oooohhh, it's your KIDLET's soccar tournament! and here I thought you were this big sports guy now! Congrats to her though, winning is fun!

It is the Searchers Gem & Mineral Society in Anaheim, CA. My parents were long time members. Great club although most the "youngsters" that I met through my parents are gone now. Last time we did the show I saw very few people I knew. Time goes on.

Yeah, I know Fish/Dan on the forums, but not sure he's the dude I met at the show. What does Fish look like?

Susan and Paul, I was there for the last 15 minutes of the show on Sunday. Got off work (the Kings scouts are in town and NHL playoffs) headed over there to help clean up after the show. Didn't buy anything, I have way too much material in "line" to add more. Hope you all had fun.

It was fun Bill, sorry to miss you. You can come up to our show in July in Culver City -- take some jewelry making classes, you'll be hooked in no time!
