Note: check out Day Two of the show as well as my personal haul from the show HERE.
 |
| The view from across Riverside Ave. |
 |
| And come on in they did. |
 |
| A warm and fuzzy welcome with biconoids at right. |
 |
| Some of my co-conspirators. |
 |
| Much better use of signage this year. |
 |
| We're all good now. |
 |
| The most beautiful display in the entire show at left. |
 |
| She killed it again this weekend! |
 |
| Over hill, over Dale into my show. |
 |
| She always pays first, year after year. |
 |
| One of my stalwarts at left. |
 |
| She hates having her photo taken which is why I took it. |
 |
| Our two in-show gemologists. |
 |
| He was the only dealer also demonstrating during the show so kudos to him! |
 |
| The new Afghans were a great fit in the show and proved two such are not one such too many. |
 |
| Scary Gary From Tulare & Co.... two of my very favorite people on this planet. |
 |
| They're baaaaack! |
 |
| My main meterorite man! |
 |
| My fave booth this weekend. |
 |
| I picked them up from the Nipomo Show a few years ago. |
 |
| I worried they weren't doing well but actually they made a killing. |
 |
| I finally got a decent book seller in the show. |
 |
| Loved this stuff but a bit pricy for me nowadays. |
 |
| She got into the show because she is a friend of a friend... she got roughed up a bit being situated next to the vendor I am not inviting back ever again.... a !#$%-ing wholesaler lied his way into the show. Sorry ole gal! |
 |
| He'll prolly be our main jade seller in this show in the future. |
 |
| Nice noobs to the biz. |
 |
| We conversed primarily through sign language and cognates. |
 |
| The man is back! |
 |
| She of the San Luis Obispo Gem & Mineral Club finally made it to our show. |
 |
| The beard is new and it befits him well methinks and so I told him. |
 |
| My Red Bluff gals donated the very nicest drawing prize. |
 |
| She's also a member of the San Luis Obispo Gem & Mineral Club. |
 |
| Should we trust him? |
 |
| Yes, he's up to something. |
 |
| He says I'm the very nicest show official he has ever encountered. |
 |
| She came to us from the Templeton Farmer's Market. |
 |
| They were selling giggles by the barrel back here at the not entirely silent auction "gravel pit." |
 |
| Some of my rock fam. |
 |
| Geode cracker done broke for a bit. The guy in the middle hates having his picture taken.... so I took it. |
 |
| I went to school with the guy at center.... way back in the 1980s. |
 |
| The loneliest man in the show.... the Baranca dude. |
 |
| My new Mex mineral man. |
 |
| My feels towards these peeps are strong. |
 |
| Her dealer badge has been altered from saying "vendor" to "vendora" which is funny if you know this woman. |
 |
| We got off to a "rocky" start but it all worked out fine. |
 |
| My Panoche peeps. |
 |
| He was stellar. |
 |
| From the way he looks I'm pretty sure he knows how to find gold. |
 |
| Some of my fave peeps in the show. |
