Ok..it'll be nice to put a face to the posts. Also I have not met a lot of NORCAL bonsai artists

To Anyone Going to the Convention,

Please don't forget us poor unlucky suckers who can't attend. If you could send photos of the headliners (Kevin Willson, David Nguy & Ryan Neil) and anything else interesting, it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your buddy, "I Would Do The Same for You" JC

As Co - chair I expect to be run a little ragged. But I'll try to get photos.

Back in the 80's and maybe still today that was Frank Bardella's license plate and name, without the "s."

I hope you have a couple of days off next week- you'll probably need it to recover.
Sorry I won't be there but I'm in New Orleans. I'm sure it'll be a great one.

It still is, and for good reason. His back yard is a jungle of maple trees.

My real last name, kind of ironic because I only participate in bonsai in a peripheral way...
