I think it depends on how many checks you bring and how fast you can write. Seriously, I have spent the better part of a day as a shopper at at least two of these GSBF vendor events. It really depends on the buyer. And you want to leave time to see the display, too. Regards, Matt

Hope you come tomorrow, Matt P, since we were hardly in the vendor section at all tonight. Until we got all dressed up (!) in our happi coats and went down to the cocktail pre-dinner party. Michelle is too tired to crop and resize the photos tonight, the amount of information and the pictures are getting ahead of us. We plan to start tomorrow a little earlier. Tomorrow we are interviewing Kai Komai, Pedro Morales of Puerto Rico, and a few others. I still need to transcribe the interviews with Jim Barrett; Guillermo Castano, President of the Mexican Bonsai Federation: and Dennis Makishima. And in the morning, I have the Min Hsuan Lo workshop for Trident Maples. (!!!) What an incredible opportunity to learn from an extremely talented (and very funny!) man.

Oh, and .....shhhhhhh..... one reason I wasn't in the vendor section is that I spent all of my money already. Yep, all of it. Thank you, Attila, for helping me pick out the Hokkaido elm. And of course the Sarah Rayner pot to put it in!
 So, we met the vendors all right. Michelle has been very good, but unfortunately I have not. Being able to buy stock here is an opportunity not to be wasted. Joanie |

Photos at last
Thursday was the day I took the Ted Matson liquidambar workshop. Here are a few photos of my tree in progress. I learned later that we were not supposed to use flash photography! OOPS!

Cindy Read had her saikei workshop on Thursday, and the results were delightful! Here is a photo of Cindy helping an attendee, whose saikei was one of the favorites. It really had the feel of a coastal scene, with little olives and sandstone from the desert, moss and sand.
Another photo is of our fellow San Diego club members, Dennis Wagner, Sue Demers, and Michael Sykes, enjoying the workshops. Finally, a photo of the crabapple workshop, held by Dolly Fassio. Dolly is now the new President of the GSBF! The material for this workshop was rumored to be excellent, and there had to be a drawing to choose who would be in the workshop. Our fellow club member Abe Far in the background. Poor Abe didn't get a very big tree! Ah, well, so it goes. Photos: Cindy, saikei, and attendee; Dennis, Sue, and Michael; and Abe with crabapple. |
