Sounds good!

Any time you know will be spent, getting over charged for movies at the hotel, let me know, if this schedule works out, I can grab you!

Keep me posted!

Well if any of you guys are ever in Spain I may stand a chance at meeting a nut.
Beer is always cold at least.

Don't think they hold many major international events in Alicante though, I could be wrong.

@GailC I would meet you just because of your avatar image.

Last night I saw at least two nutters at the Mirai Live launch party. I'm guessing in total there were at least seven bnut members there. Some are lurkers who read but rarely post.

I got to visit amkhalid and one of his buddies a few years back, very cool.
Last summer driving home from Colorado stopped in at Dan W's place, also very cool. Quick midnight tour by headlamp. Dan is probably still laughing at the sight of us hoping around on one foot in the dark! Makes good coffee too, kept us going through the night.

lol, yeah this place is a hotbed for bonsai and some amazing artists amongst them but Alicante is a bit out of the way so unless they hold a big show here and not Madrid or the islands I probably wont be able to get to it.

Funny thing is the Alicante or maybe it was the Sant Joan bonsai club used to meet two doors down from our old house, literally a 30 second walk away. I was oblivious to it and only got interested after we moved.
Don't think there are many bnutters around though, Saizan I think is the only one I know of but not met as of yet. I don't get out much. :p

Also cool vids, bookmarked.

Ugh you really can't get out of this hobby.

As of now I don't have any trees, but I'm still interested in the hobby. Trying to save money and (eventually) move out. Once I get a place of my own I'll start buying trees again. Starting a new job, so that's going to be my focus for now. In the meantime, I'm going to be eyeing Suthin's Ficus to see which I want to drop a small fortune on ;)
