The Harbour Lights schedule showed this event was to be from 3-5 pm, giving Bill a break of 2 hours in between this and the previous signing.

However the Artisan Collector had promoted it from 1-3 PM.

Sean & Elizabeth Thompson (Mr. & Mrs. Beav) and I managed to stop for fast food between the stores, but Bill and Laura went directly there and Bill stayed until 4:30 pm.

I had not been to a signing at this store before, but the turnout was fair. Maybe 30 people came over to have pieces signed + a number of pre-sales.

Ran into a WACKO-to-be Jim Irwin at this signing and he brought along friends who were new collectors.

Tomorrow is the VERY LAST chance to purchase a Kilauea HI 1999 Event piece. Check these messages for "Stag Tobacconist".

That's it! I'm goint to attend a signing out of the state of Florida. When Bill was here end of November, there were hundreds of people at the signing and it started at least 45 mintues early. It was so crowded that, unfortunately, there wasn't time or space to mill around after the signing.

Yes, I met the Chidestar in Mesa Az, a rare treat, not at all what I would expect a "Saint" to look like, but still a rare treat. BY was at his best, as ussual, however, he played to a small crowd. This was a good thing, as I had One of my customers there, {I got them started collecting about 2 years ago}and they are still talking about him. No, I won't pay Bill a commision.

St John, I cannot tell you how much I appreciate this forum and the many things you do for us fellow collectors.

HAPPY NEW YEAR.
