Post by: Enchantra on January 03, 2019, 09:19:14 PM
It's coming up soon!
Anyone know if Tony is doing the BBQ again this year?
I'm heading to Q the weekend of the Pow Wow and hoping to hit all three shows.
Planning on bringing my two adorable fur-kids as well.

He is there and set up, so I'm sure he will again, as far as I know....

The beginning of the month was great there.  I went down the first couple days and scored some great material.  Super un-higraded Montana at 10 a pound with great patterns, pics and spots and some beautiful Gem bone at 25 a pound.  The cab guys are there again and prices the same with Larimar, Charoite and Seraphenite cabs for 5 and 10 per cab.  They even had some mexican cabs for 5 a cab with some fantastic shadow agate cabs in the mix.  They even had faceted Rutilated stones for 10 each.  Some of the Malachite cabs for 5 were full flower patterns with no fill material but solid and super polish.  Quite impressed with the selection this year and happy the price hasn't changed.  Going back for the beginning of the pow wow.

My friend came out for his first Qsite show and we are doing a Sagenite themed side trips.  We've done the Graham Pass and North Cadys and Nipomo so far and will do Calico as the last Sagenite of the trips.  Had a great time up in Nipomo today.

So Amanda are you working your friend's booth this year?  Made it here a day late but in town. Got some more good deals today so happy and got to meet with old friends and swap stories which is the best.  Headed back home tomorrow mid day.
