Julie, I definitely agree.  I was rather disappointed in the selection.
However, I understand this show was small compared to other SD IRBA expos.
Also, I would have made the gecko dinner, except I was rooming with a bunch
of snake people (I'm guilty of owning them as well) who aren't too crazy
about what they call "feeder lizards".  Sarcasm on their part, a comment of
which I blow off.  Anyhow, nice to meet up with you again.  Wish I would
have ran into other GGA listserv members.
Later,
Chris
