Hey L.A PSers!

Who's up for getting together on Saturday, September 20th?  The International Gem & Jewelry Show will be taking place in Santa Monica: http://www.intergem.com/


Selkie and I are planning to go and have earmarked this date.  We're open on the time, but she mentioned that it tends to get busy from noon on.  Perhaps we can also do breakfast or brunch?

Chime in if you're interested and we'll make a plan!

Yeah, it's yummy, but so crowded and can take a while. I'm curious what other alternative we have there?

Believe me, I soooo wish I could go!!  I'll ask DH if there is any chance we can show up later during the day...  I'll keep you posted if anything changes for me, but I still probably won't be able to make it.

Jinky's gets my vote (good call MommaBear!)  I've been to the one in Sherman Oaks- yum.

Let's firm things up by Thursday

Sounds like a plan. I will probably only come for brunch (we're moving that weekend and the wedding budget doesn't really allow for any impulse buys!) What time should we meet? 10:30? 11am?

Jinky's sounds good to me. I vote 10:30, we're planning to do some house hunting later that day!

When do you think you'll be at the gem show? I can't meet for brunch, but I will be running in for a quick look at the show--I'd love to meet you ladies! Maybe I'll bump into you all over there?

Not online, anyway. I had two mailed to me by a vendor I've bought from. There's also a $1 off coupon here:
intergem.com.

Coati, maybe we could arrange to meet you at the central area (where the food vendor is) at a set time.

Also-for any LA/OC folks who can't make it to this show, you might like to check out the West Coast Gem and Mineral show in Costa Mesa in November.Linky.

This one is interesting in that it's held in a Holiday Inn, and while some vendors have booths in the lobby and conference rooms, others rent entire hotel rooms and turn them into shops! It's very odd, at first, to walk into random hotel rooms to look at goodies.

I don't think you'll get any objections from anyone MommaBear!  Just be sure to have her in a carrier for the gem show, they don't allow strollers.

I'm still undecided about going.  If I do, I wouldn't be able to make brunch so I would just meet you guys at the show.  I'll try to make up my mind soon!  I've just been so bad lately with buying stuff online and I KNOW I won't be able to refrain from buying something at the show!

Jinky's doesn't take reservations, but i'll plan to get there a bit earlier to put our name in- party of 5 under Price.  I'm always chilly, so i'll have a red pashmina on in case anyone needs help ID-ing me/the group.

looking forward to it!

I may be a bit late, because we're looking at a house in the morning, but will either meet you at Jinky's or catch up with you at the show. How about if we arrange to meet anyone who might be coming to the show, but not brunch at 11:30-11:45 near the food vendor?
