Jordi,
We had a wonderful time tonight. Good food, great people and a most generous host.
Thank you very much!

Thanks again Jordi! I had fun drinking wine, eating tapas, and engaging in much mineral talk. What a great group of people.

Last evening FMF had his second “annual” party and this time the turnout was excellent, as was the location, which was the restaurant Casa Vicente. The food was very good and the drinks flowed freely, particularly the margaritas and sangrias. We did not do a head count but it seemed like there were close to 50 friends there, many of whom have been “lurkers” on the Forum. Among the dignitaries were George “Jorge” Harlow (American Museum of Natural History, New York), Tony Kampf (Los Angeles County Museum of Natural History), Carl Francis (Harvard University), Marie (Editor, Rocks and Minerals) and her husband Terry Huizing, Pete Modreski and his wife (Pete continues as a moderator), FMF regular Ed Huskinson, and, of course, the indefatigable Gail Spann (her husband Jim couldn’t get there because he was setting up their display at the convention center. There were lots of photos taken and at least some of these will be posted here later today.

Considering my circumstances, completely overwhelmed by too many events and sleeping just 3-4 hours a day for too many days, I will post the photos promised of the FMF's party 'as them are', it means without text, and then I will go to sleep few hours until tomorrow when, due to my responsibilities as a European correspondent of the Main Show I have to manage the last effort and attend the opening of the Show and photograph as much things as I can.
BTW, if anyone who attended the party can add comments to this photos or publish their own, it would be a great help.
Jordi

I'm going to add some of our photos from Jordi's party. I'll start with this one that I earlier posted elsewhere on his Tucson show report page; then, a few more. Again, it was really nice, thank you again, Jordi!

Now I think I finally remembered how to attach multiple pictures to one post...
(Also, getting used to the trick that the photos posted last, always appear first.)
