Ha! I’ll take one too.

 

[Dav4]

I’ll be flying under the radar/incognito… But I will be wearing my iconic, hot pink shorts… If you know, you know

 

[Wood]

I cobbled together a Bnut Button, who wants one with their name on it? You have until tonight to let me know, I have to print and make them. I'll bring blanks but you'll need to find a very tiny sharpie.

One for me please!

I have tickets and reservations,
hoping I can still make the trip.
Having some health issues.
Where would we find you?
I don't know anybody unless Adairs there with his Zelkova.

If I'm there, I may or may not be wearing my walker boot, foot fracture.

I’ll be at the Tokutake Bonsai vendor tables in the back corner of the room by Suthin. Gotta run and get groceries for my parents, then my toddler and I will assemble these buttons. Take it easy @Japonicus !

I have no idea where everyone is going to be but if I may be so bold. I would like one too.

We all stand in a circle in a field with robes on and chant , and perform several incantations in front of Lord Ulmus who looms over us… it’s the god of Bonsai here’s a photo

Then we embark to a secret location where Bonsai trees are on display, you can only get in though unless you make the secret handshake , or if someone you know can vouch for you before you’re let in.

See you all Friday night for the ceremony!!!

 

[Sansokuu]

I got you @RosePastry and @IzzyG Come by the Tokutake Bonsai table I will have them at the checkout along with blank ones.

 

[Sansokuu]

And goodnight. I made one for just about almost everyone who replied they were going in this thread. I’ll leave them at the Tokutake Bonsai checkout, don’t be shy about grabbing one if you see your username on it. No purchase necessary. If I missed anyone feel free to take a blank one.

The sprouted acorn reminds me of an old Christmas song by Bing Crosby

Thank you me too! Turning 60 has not been my friend on multiple levels.
I'm thinking one of the suiseki events will be my lunch hour.
Neighbor taking care of our cats and my trees asked what ones I was taking lol. I told him none of mine are good enough to "show" in such an event.

 

[markyscott]

Looking forward to seeing you all there. I’ll be the tall guy with a beard & ponytail. I’ll look for a blank button at the registration table. Be sure to say hi!

I can no longer make it. Are the tickets refundable or transferable? I'd give my ticket away if that's possible.

 

[Gary McCarthy]

I've been at the show site the past 2 days helping set up for the show. People started bringing in their trees today to set up for the show.. OMG!!! This is going to be an AWESOME show this year!

There's always been a no-photo policy in the exhibition area (except for your own trees) so I doubt this year will be any different. You can take photos elsewhere including the sales area.
