I open this thread in order to place here all comments related to the Tucson Show. In this way the other topic, Tucson Show 2009 -> https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=460 can be reserved for reporting about the Show, and all other comments related to Tucson and the other posts can be placed here.

Of course all comments or questions will be more than welcome!

Jordi...this is for people trying to contact each other etc.?

If so I'll start by asking if you're in yet?

[John S. White]

Jordi is scheduled to fly to Tucson on Monday, Jan. 26.

Peter,

As the other topic that I opened concerning Tucson 2009 ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=460 ) aims to be a kind of daily reportage and I blocked it, I opened this other "parallel" topic as the place where everybody can explain their feelings about Tucson 2009.

For example, your opinion would be just wonderful Peter!

Hi all, We are flying in on the 6th, so expect us at the Westwood Look for lunch on the 7th - thsi is always our usual first stop and great way to start the show, lots of minerals and a large burger :)
So Peter, whats the weather doing then? Its been grey and raining all day here in London so the prospect of some balmy sun is very much on our minds!!

I'm flying into Phoenix on the 30th, pickup the campervan, drive around Az a little, drive south on the 6/7th to Tucson. So.... See you there ;-)
Cheers! Frank

Alan et al...with the usual caveats about the ability of meteorologists to accurately forecast anything past about 4 days....the projections are for absolutely monotonous gorgeous weather for at least the next week 22 daytime 6 at night. Sunny with perhaps wisps of clouds occasionally.

Bring your swimsuits.

Already folks here and there with things for sale...no clue as to the temperature of the market though

On a separate note...we have a neighbor who has a friend with a guest house near Westward Look. She rents it out for $500 a week and last we knew was still looking for a renter. Bedroom plus living area with sleeping couch

I can put you in touch with the friend and you can take it from there if interested.

NO guarantee its still availble

At Christmas time you can go on the internet and find out where Santa Claus is at any given time. Too bad we can't do this with our leader, Jordi Fabre. Right now he should be in the air somewhere between windswept Barcelona and warm and sunny Tucson. We wish him a very easy and pleasant flight and look forward to his first communication from his room at the InnSuites.

[Jordi Fabre]

Your leader?, are you kidding? I'm just a poor Spanish man waiting for a connecting fly in the enormous Chicago airport! ;-)

Cheers to everybody, I will re-start my Forum's life as soon as I recover my routines in Tucson.

Jordi

[str4hler]

have a good flight Jordi !
by the way... are you waiting for a connecting fly?
or a connecting flight? I hope for you the flies are not connecting too much? ;-)

[Jordi Fabre]

Mercy Frank, I'm too tired to do things properly! ;-)

I already corrected it in my text, thanks for the warning.

Jordi

[str4hler]

merci for the mercy , relax , have fun , enjoy the jetlag and see you in a week

Please finish your burger and hop over to the main lobby Alan, come see our pieces on display? We will be there from ten till four. Better yet, bring us burgers too?
ha ha.
Oh, and something cold to drink?

( just teasing, but do come see us? )

[John S. White]

Final notice on the Forum get-together in Tucson. Thanks to Peter Megaw's help we are booked at El Minuto beginning at 4:00 PM on Wednesday, the 11th of February. They have a party room or, if the weather is nice, we will meet on the patio. El Minuto is on the south side of the Convention Center, 354 S. Main Street and the telephone number is 520-882-4145.

We hope to see as many of you there as possible. Free drinks and snacks!

Hi Gail,

I have a trouble, my helper Parés is back to Spain and he will be back only on Monday 9th, so it will be extremely complicated for me to do a reportage for the forum about your display in the Westward Look, because Saturday and Sunday are very busy days in the Innsuites and I should be here. Of course I will do a trip and admire your display but I ignore in what time I could do it and unfortunately it should be very fast, so could you please take photos and do a chronicle yourself of your display and publish it in this thread? Then I will copy it in my Tucson's thread, as a part of my columns.

robynahawk also she said to me, here in Tucson, that she will do a reportage and she will publish it in this thread, so in one way or other we will try to make good publicity of your display Gail.

I'm sorry don't do it myself, but believe me, in my circumstances I'm doing my really best! ;-)

Jordi
BTW, could you please letting me know in what time do you suppose that your showcase will be ready on Saturday and in what time it will be the close down?
