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.
