That dinner was a fantastic event -- I'm really glad someone took pics as I was far too busy just having fun. Many thanks for the pics, Alberto!

Well, we had a blast last night, was great meeting everyone. Shout out to Mikko, Alberto and Lawrence for coming so far to jam with us and talk shop. Kudo's to Paul and Jordan for all the show and tell.

And super big Kudo's to Dr Hanneman. Everyone really appreciated the door prizes that you contributed and we all appreciated your willingness to sign autographs. Was great to have our own ROCK STAR amongst us!

Pictures anyone??


A BIG Thank You to Roger for putting this on again!! Meeting everyone and talking "rocks" was great as was the food.

Looking forward to next year!

Tom and Joan

The couple to Nancy's right are Barbara and Mark Ellis from MN. She is "thespinelsource".

What is it about all the MN faceters?! It it just too cold up there for so long that they figure they need an intense hobby?! Next year we decided we're going with name tags, but with our GO avatars on them! I actually had to reference Peter as "you know, they guy with the bicolor tourmaline avatar"!!!
