Google "Tucson gem show".
Yeah, feels like an obscure sports term, to me.

I'm having an LMNO/GIGGLES moment.


My mind is producing much more interesting images than what Google gives me.

We all have to wear leather sacks on our heads for the whole month.  It's a law.

As much as I would love to go to the gem show (I'm the spawn of two generations of professional rock hounds), it's really not practical for me to get out there during school. Except maybe spring break, if I (we?) have the money. And thank you for the offer to bunk at your place. :)

No sweat, though hotels aren't expensive here ("aren't expensive" being a relative term, of course).

Shit, you have to meet my dad if you get down here.  He's a FREAK for rockhounding.
He sounds like a cool guy, from what you've said about him, so that'd be pretty great. :D

Imagine me with 25 more years to get weird, and add in the capacity to totally geek out over things like desert rocks.

When I was 6, he told us we were having a "Donner Party Thanksgiving".

:lulz:

Needless to say, I tried my hardest to warp my kids the same way.

:lulz: YES. (I think that beat my dad and his friend telling me that we ate Bambi's mother when we have venison (I was three, Bambi was my favorite movie, and I still responded with "she's delicious!"))

Were you successful?

My son ran off to the (relative) sanity of the US Military, and my daughter has stated her plan to murder me when I'm done paying for her college.

So, yeah.

Um, the Tucson gemshow is THE convention for gems, jewelry, and rockhounds, world-wide.  It's in February, takes up most of the downtown area (the convention center isn't nearly big enough), and fucks up parking forever.

Google "Tucson gem show".

Thanks. I'm completely strung out on final exam anxiety and brainpills, so I couldn't seem to put two and two together to make "google it" :lulz:

This looks awesome. I will have to try my damndest to make it out there sometime; that way I can meet all you high-altitude desert weirdos and have the pretense of it being related to my education!

Derp. I know you've mentioned TGG's plans and your son is responsible for linking you to the Cancer Jesus vid. Still fried. Will be fried for a while.

The Tucson gem show is epic. It is THE SHOW in the adornment world.
"I'm guessing it was January 2007, a meeting in Bethesda, we got a bag of bees and just started smashing them on the desk," Charles Wick said. "It was very complicated."
