Time to announce this annual gathering of FMF followers at Casa Vicente on February 9, 2012. Our host, nice fellow that he is, will be wining and dining us in fine fashion.
It's a great chance to meet Jordi, if you haven't yet, and to visit with many of the people you see posting on here.
We'd like to get a head count if at all possible? Jim and I will be there.
It will be a fun evening in a relaxed setting, casual attire is fine.

I have changed the date on this message to Thursday, February 9th. Jordi and I are combining evening events into one large gathering as many of the same people would have come to both anyhow.
This will now be a joint FMF and "Meet the Curators, hosted by the Spanns" event at Casa Vicente.

If you have attended an FMF Tucson gathering before, then you are invited to this evening. If not, please P.M. Jordi to request an invitation. If you wish to bring a guest, again....ask Jordi. ( we are limited by space after all....)
I will send invitations to the SMMP group and will deal with my rsvp's

Sorry about the mix up. Feel free to message me with any questions?

If the Lord is willing and the creek don't rise, (or dry up, as the case may be) Cindy and I will be there, someone needs to photograph the photographer (Gail). How many thousand shots did you take last year Gail? Or is it millions?

[Gail]

It was a lot, up to 800 a day at times. I really enjoy the fun of Tucson!

[vic rzonca]

Yikes, if my math is right, that 's 1.111111 shot every 2 minutes in 24 hours. Monumental! What service, what devotion, somebody hand that girl some new CF cards.

Since that's the night before set up of the Main Show, it should work for me this year. Count me in!

Tuesday should work for Jesse, Ian and myself, so please count us in the tally.

A new thing. As Gail will do the Mineral Museum Professional party too -> https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=18863#18863 , we are talking to combine both at the same time since it's a lot of the same people and it would be nice to meet everybody in one single meeting.

The Museum's party should be Thursday at 8:00 PM (also in Casa Vicente) because it is right after the Society of Mineral Museum Professionals meeting and all the Curators will be in town by then.

FMFers, if we move our party to Thursday 6 to 8 PM, so the whole party would be six till nine (with the Museum's party part starting mostly after 8:00 PM) could you attend?

Sorry, I feel bad to bring the first bad news. I would like to go, but I can't, it's a little bit to expensive for a 16 year old person who lives in the Netherlands.

Thursday night is judging for the competitive cases. Set-up is Wednesday night. The only night available to the judging staff would be Tuesday, as originally planned. Just saying.

I know Ed, and we apologize for that. Just thought we would combine resources and make it one big bash.

[Linda Smith]

I am attending so I hope to see you in Tucson.
