Dear list,

Here are my first impressions about the Tucson show.
Arrived last night late after 15 hours of flight from Geneva to L.A. then 
Tucson at last, under a small rain. definitly these deserts are wet this 
year, was I thinking, reminding my 2004  christmas in Amguid crater ( 
Algeria ) where I received a good wash.

I could not take my sleep last night and spend most of the night on the net.

The High speed Internet in my Inn Suites room #222 was just what i  needed 
to wait for the openning of the customs brooker. At 11 this morning my 146 
kg in three metallic boxes, the same ones I use to bring back my finds from 
the Sahara were  safe in my room. This show is really well organized and 
Tucson a pleasant place. I found some missing equipment ( displays cases) 
and the Tucson Store Fixture is customizing one of their products for me. it

should be ready tomorrow by 10 am.
Met Bruno and Carine unpacking their beauties .I had their last martian 
chassignite in my hands for some se  onds. tks Bruno! And we shared a meteor

beer from Mars.specially imported by them for the show.

I just put some champagne in the fridge. To morrow will be the grand 
openning for me around 11.

I feel like going shooting the show just before sunset. If I have some 
energy left I will put some photos on line tonite.

Best regards
