Tucson Feb 2008: Pearl Walk Schedule

Jeremy has just told me he will be here for the Strack lecture on Sat, Feb 9th at 9am and a pearl walk afterward.

Please PM me if you will be there (if you haven't already) so we can make some plans.

Pearlgully, Would you join us this year for the pearl walk? Blaire, Will you still be here?
 
Sigh. Hubby is in Arizona for a week right now. I would have tagged along had the timing been around Feb 1st. Sigh. Oh well.

I'm not sure about my plans because Mom had a back injury and I might need to leave early. If I'm still around, I'll probably have a guest that I promised to take on a tour of AGTA. I don't think she'll want to sit through the lecture, so I'll meet you right after the lecture and see what she thinks about going-with. I can't wait to meet you all! You know what I look like, so be sure to come up and say "hi". ;)
 
Notice that Tom Stern will be showing as Titan pearls in the J.O.G.S show. I have not attended that one yet. It is very close to the G&LW show on the south side of town. Details are in the catalog I linked to in post #1.
 
Guess he will have naturals there! I will love seeing some in person! and of course, meeting Dr. Tom, if possible.

Hi,

I will be at J.O.G.S. in the Tucson Expo Center, booth N825, under the banner Titan Natural Pearls. It would be fun to meet anyone who attends the show. We plan to depart Tucson on the 7th or 8th.

Thanks, I'd love to. I can't wait. I'll be heading for Arizona earlier than originally planned.......I'm going to the Super Bowl. GO GIANTS! Gail (from NY)

Oh Gail! It's so hard to choose! I have this love/hate relationship with the Pats and this love/love relationship with anything Manning! Go ALL Y'ALL!
 
Patty, so your heading out today. I hope you all have a great time. I wish I was going! I'm not just a pearl lover I love gemstones too. Please take lots and lots of photos :)
 
Hi Casey,

I wish you were coming also! Maybe another time, hey, this is my first time! I love gemstones also! I just finished, but haven't had time to photograph, some pearl (keishi, coin, metallic fw) and Oregon sunstone necklaces and earrings. The Oregon sunstone has much finer schiller, microscopic, than we usually see in Indian sunstone, some more golden some more pink. We will probably depend on Blaire for the best photos, she does such a terrific job, Caitlin also!

Pattye: Are you going to see Doug after Tucson? I've lost track of when you are going, or did you and I missed it?
 
Hi Knotty--

Well, decided just couldn't afford to both at the same time, and within 2weeks. so, will be here 11 days, and really get a feel for what is here, since this is my first visit. I am hoping at some point perhaps next year or a little later, a group from Pearl-Guide would informally decide to go down, maybe during harvest. It can be driven from Tucson, but also from San Diego I think, or one can fly. In the interest of doing both places justice, one at a time will have to do!

I just noticed that Rio Grande will be at the Tucson Hilton East from Feb 8-11.

They will offer a number of free classes to those in the trade. It looks like they may have stuff for sales too. I will try to check it out.
