OK here it is.... The presentations might be (cross your fingers) shown like the google chats I have gotten to do at PP. What that means is you will be able to see Douglas, Sea of Cortez talk about his pearls and pearl farm, Josh of Kamoka talk about how he grows his wonderful pearls. There are others scheduled to speak but I don't want to spoil all of the suprises. There will also be a show and tell with several designers. This is very, very exciting. Jeremy is meeting with a video expert to see if it can be set up on Monday. So say a prayer and/or cross your fingers it can all be worked out so even if you won't be physically there you won't miss out totally on the fun.

This is an excellent idea both for those who attend (and can watch the presentations again once they're home) and especially for the many who can't attend. Terrific idea!!!

I thought so too Bsomlo. I really hope it works out. I know Jeremy will try his very best to pull it off. But my fingers are crossed anyway.

It would be wonderful if you could come to the ruckus. With fingers crossed maybe you will be able to see and hear the talks this year.

I hope this happens. It was fun skyping with people in other countries at the Vulcan Mansion ruckus. They should be able to see the fun too.

please ask Jeremy to keep the presentations up for a good length of time so those of us unable to view when it happens can do so later....and again and again!

It's a multi day event held by Pearl Paradise in Los Angeles. The last three years in a Mansion and features guest speakers, pearl farmers, nucleus creator, vendors and even movie filmers/producers. The president of the Cultured Pearl Association of America came to the Saturday evening dinner two years ago at the last ruckus. There are classes to learn new skills too.

Wow, it sounds so fun and interesting and enriching. Too bad it's so far from me. Have a blast, ladies! And many photos please!

Crossing fingers that the video expert will happen. There are something to be tweaked from the last few Google chats, imo. Too many times the pearls are out of focus or there are not as many close-ups. It's too hard to see the colors, etc.

The google chats were never meant to be QVC/Shopping channel quality productions. They are improving equipment to make them better each time. I enjoy them for what they are. Fun and informational.

and they really are educational!
I haven't been but given the line up of speakers/presenters I imagine it is nearly impossible to not learn something.
and anything that is called a "ruckus" just has to be fun!
envious and would love to attend one day........

I so hope this happens! I don't think I will ever be able to attend a ruckus; but, I love the pearl chats and would love to see a glimpse of the ruckus too!

This is a direct copy and paste (with Jeremy's permission) of his email to me this afternoon.

"It looks like we won't know whether or not we'll be able to stream live until we are at the house. We don't know what the upload speed is at the mansion. That would determine the quality of the video. What we are probably going to do is just film the event and then upload to the Internet after the ruckus. This was we can be sure that the quality is good."

Well you might not get to see it happen live but the good news is you will get to hear and see what happens later. So that is a good thing :appl:

The talks were recorded and will be posted after they are edited. So much good information to share, Lucy and Ethel did some interviews durning the Saturday party. They will be posted over a couple of months time. NL is on her way home so we will work on some posts Tuesday.

The talks and much else were indeed recorded at the ruckus. They will have to be edited and uploaded and I'm sure that will take time. But, as 4Ranch Girl likes to remind us, good things happen to those who wait.

In the meantime, here is a photo of our two Pearl Queens on the patio of the mansion over looking the Pacific. They were very, very helpful to many of us as we were choosing pearls over the weekend. They also worked very hard doing interviews of attendees which will take time to get uploaded. Please be patient.

In the meantime, thank you so much 4Ranch Girl and NacreLover! I bow to your pearly wisdom and salute you. :appl: :appl: :appl:
