Hello Everyone,

We are still working on our annual Tucson Information Page and waiting 
for information from many meteorite dealers.  We will be updating the 
page as we get the information. Geoff is hard at work and we'll add the 
Birthday Bash information when it's available.

[meteorite-list] Tucson 2008 - Correct Dates

2007-10-09 Thread Notkin

Dear Dave, Keith, Matt, Listees:


No disrespect to my pal Keith, but I suggest we disregard the URL 
posted earlier:


http://www.tucsongemshowguide.com

It's a knock-off site, and they don't have the show dates correct.


The most comprehensive Tucson guide (apart from "Meteorite Times" of 
course) is here:


http://www.tucsonshowguide.com

Please note this site is not fully up-to-date for 2008 yet, but the 
main show dates are listed.


The part many of you care about is the Arizona Mineral and Fossil Show, 
which is Marty Zinn's operation and encompasses the InnSuites, the 
Ramada Inn Limited, etc. That show runs from Feb. 2 through Feb. 16, 
2008. The Westward Look show runs from Feb. 8 through Feb. 11, 2008.


The party, the Harvey Awards, and Michael Blood's auction always fall 
on the middle weekend each year, which would place them on February 8 
and 9 and that will coincide nicely with the short but excellent 
Westward Look weekend show. Steve Arnold #1, Cap'n Blood and myself 
will put our heads together and finalize those event dates for you.


I suppose this is as good a time as any to mention that I have accepted 
the position of Managing Editor and Art Director of the "Tucson 
EZ-Guide." That is the colorful, easy-to-use pocket guide which has 
been such a hit for the past couple of years. The publishers -- Xpo 
Press in Colorado -- are friends and clients and they want the 
"EZ-Guide" to be *the* hip Tucson guide. They envision it being 
written, designed, and printed right here in Tucson and I just couldn't 
bear to say no to that idea  : )  My good friend and colleague Lisa 
Marie, a well-known silversmith, jeweler, and writer here in Tucson, is 
the new ad sales manager. If you have advertised in the guide before 
and wish to do so again, please contact Xpo Press. If you wish to 
become a new advertiser, please write to me off-List.


This all means two things for me:

1) We intend to produce the best-ever Tucson show guide, and I welcome 
any feedback from those of you who have used it in the past.


2) I will have much less free time in 2008 than I have during previous 
shows, as the guide is a large undertaking. I will, therefore, not be 
able to organize the party, the Harvey Awards, and the rest of it 
without some help. I'd hate to see the party and the awards disappear 
after -- what is it now? -- seven consecutive years. We no longer have 
use of The Copper Club, partly because the manager is one of the rudest 
people I have ever met, and partly because the dear old Ramada Inn 
University is now some kind of chic student housing resort. So, one or 
more of you will have to please step up and help me organize the 2008 
party or there isn't going to be one. Volunteers enthusiastically 
received. Please write to me off-List.


More Tucson 2008 news when we have it.


Regards to all,
