Tucson was awesome for me. I did not visit the other venues but the Pueblo Show was busy with the usual assortment of dealers including a small group o vendors with interesting old beads.
I had a private room by appointment only. A handful of friends visited socially but the Tibetans & Nepalese that found me were very appreciative and delighted to find authentic old gear.
On the way home a trip to the Musical Instrument Museum and meeting Thomas at the Bead Museum in Prescott was very enjoyable!
