Oh fun! Congrats on winning a door prize!
The local bead show this year was a little smaller, but quite fun...I think the cost of travel was too much for a lot of American sellers.
In regards to the spammers...well, all it takes is one dumb person to make it worth their while :S I wish their was a way to filter them out on Google Groups.
Best, Christine
