Hi, I agree Mike...
As someone who has travelled to Tucson for the last two shows all the way from the UK, I can tell you that the Tucson experience is worth the trip and expense even if you you didn't buy a single rock. It is worth it just to meet everyone, wander around in the glorious weather, chat about the latest fall and look at a fantastic displays...not only of meteorites, but a multitude of other artifacts. You could wander around for the whole 2 weeks and never see everything. Definitely going next year and bringing others with me. I am really sad about missing the show this year.
