Because at 10 am, other than the young couple sleepin' in their car from Philly, I was the only one there...So after some other folks arrived, asked the same "doesn't this open at 10?" question, someone came out and said they open at 11...Now there's a whole HOUR knocked off an already tight schedule...gets worse...Sat on the steps talkin to the Philly couple and a cool guy named Andre (nice meetin' you, bud) about black rats...the line is slowly growing...and growing...and growing...Philly couple slips off and Andre had prepaid so he got in...Of course people who were there a little after me are in line and OF COURSE no one says, hey bud, jump in"...get in line...get in at 1125...run back to buy rats and mice...but...did get to talk to Rich for about 10-15 minutes or so...asked about the color of his older Opals there (they were Pearl phase Opals)...talked hurricane Ivan, BOI and FC.com, how motley genes made his Lav's look...his opinion on Coral corns
...good times...bought a real aztec-y looking Aztec male...and boy did he have some nice deals on corns...if you missed this show or his table shame on ya...made the whole debacle above worth it (well, almost lol)...and that was the ONLY table I got to look at...spent less than a minute at PMHerps table...would have like to talk to Paul a minute or two, also...he had some nice boa's, including a really neat patternless Hogg Island....
In the car at 1157...oh well...always next year
