Anyone going to the Jewlery Arts Expo??

Kathy, It's close to where I live, about an hour away from here, but the classes are not tempting me. I think I'll wait until the vendor list is up before deciding. Are you going? Patti

Would there be any interest in an Official RCB Button -- one of those 2"-wide pins frequently seen with cute sayings on them? We could make up a batch and send them to a central organizer, who could then pass them out on request. That would make it easy to identify other RCBers at an event. I could probably even design it so that each person could write their name on it with a Sharpie...

If people would like something like this, somebody nudge me *next week* -- we're about to leave for MedFair in Oklahoma and won't be back until Monday, by which time I guarantee I'll have forgotten this discussion!

Yep. I haven't made a beady road trip in a while and this sounded good.

That sounds good!!

I'm only wearing one if I can put "rec.crap.beads" on it Patti

Count me in! I may bring friends, I may go stag - but I'll be there.

Oh me too, Patti. A big "RCB" with rec.crap.beads below it. I think I'll make one up on the laminator today. How about we decide on a color, and that way we know what hue to look for?

I vote for fuschia! ~~ Sooz

Fuschia works for me! Sooz, this is for the future shows, yes? You aren't coming to Pa? Can I dare hope????? Patti

I figure it works for any show in the future, in any city or town in the world........Celine had a great idea, didn't she?

No, I won't be in PA. Travel is incredibly hard for me, and it's very difficult to leave Kevin behind. Flying with him is so complicated and insane that his parents are flying out here to help us board the plane just to go to Las Vegas (a very short plane ride indeed). Plus we always have to hire an attendant -- whether he goes with me, or stays home -- for overnights (or the whole trip, including room & board). So it's expensive beyond belief too. ~~ Sooz

I was hoping you'd say yes but I can certainly understand why you can't. But if you ever do, you'll find a gaggle of friends here.

Aw, you guys! >sniffling< Try coming out here, too, to BABE sometime. I bet you could rent a whole floor in some little hotel or inn here! (Can you say "slumber party"?) ~~ Sooz

ha ha ha hahahahahaha. Love it.

Yay!!

I'm taking a class Saturday from 11-4 (I think) and Sunday 9-11. Other than that I'm free - can;t wait to meet some more RCBers!!

OK, As it gets a little closer to April 24th, we should try to plan where/when to meet. What time are everyone's classes? I will be there on Saturday - I have to work Sunday. I will definitely be wearing my rec.crap.beads sticker (and probably lots of my own dichroic stuff.) You can check out what I look like on my home page at
