    Driving home yesterday I heard a radio interview with our mayor (in
    Tucson) who said that exhibitor attendance at the "gem show" was up
    54% this year. Now, he could have been talking about only the Tucson
    Gem and Mineral Society's four-day show, or the whole thing -- it
    was not clear. But if it's the whole show average, then that might
    explain why Gerry Galarneau felt that things were flattening
    out--lots more dealers but the same or fewer attendees. I am waiting
    to see official stats (our mayor is not the brightest bulb on many
    subjects). 

    I do know that there was tons more junk than in the past -- it was
    harder to find the good stones. And I could not believe the amount
    of enhanced or outright fake gemstone beads (and the number of
    uninformed buyers snapping them up!).
