So...recap. We drove 16 hours and unpacked. Ate. Slept. Got up early for the interview for Minerals with breakfast and then drove downtown to interview with JTV. So...what's next? Well, had to see a man about a rock! And in a new place for us to go, the 22nd street show of course!!!

| We also ran into Leah Luten, the amazing artist, helping at the Arkenstone. She is also a member of our MAD group. We are lucky to have her in our lives. We think highly of her. |
