I fly in slightly earlier - 3:25 Southwest into Hobby. Not sure I'd wait until 6 but would share an Uber with others if earlier!
So looks like ac117 and me get there the earliest - 3:25 and 3:55. Bright Ice and Yenny get in later. Is there anyone else that might be looking for a ride from the Hobby airport on Thursday afternoon/evening? I do like Bright Ice's idea for a sign with PS GTG. Otherwise, we won't be able to identify each other!!
Maybe make it a game and find each other just by looking at people's bling! Lol, that would be fun!!!

You know we would be able to do that - too funny! I know your ring but not your face - lol!!
Hi Ladies! So excited to meet you all next week! I will be in super early (around 10am @ Hobby) so I will see you all at the event unless someone is arriving in the am.
Just got off the phone with Jason Quick and Brock Wilke at AGSL. They have an exciting program lined up for Friday. There will be two sessions, 10am and 2pm. They will cover different topics so you could come for one or the other, or both. I will have more details on the topics tomorrow, but one of them will be 'unexpected', as in, you won't want to miss it!
I can also tell you that Jason and Brock are super excited about the event, and looking forward to meeting everyone.
Super fascinating! Planning on attending both sessions as well
@MissGotRocks I actually arrive on Thursday,l in order to be able to attend the Friday sessions![]()
The AGS sessions are taking shape. Friday 10am and 2 pm.
The morning session will cover an overview of the AGS light performance cut grading system. The presentation will include a retrospective of the development of the science including interesting anectdotes from an insider's perspective. Jason Quick, an MIT mathematician, was on the small development team that included Peter Yanzer (former director of AGSL) and Dr. Jose Sasian from the University of Arizona. Dr. Sasian's expertise is in building the biggest land based telescopes so he definitely knows a thing or two about optics!
There will be ample time allotted for Q&A in both sessions, so it will be a great opportunity to ask any questions you may have. The headcount looks like we will all be able to fit in the Whiteflash conference room, so it will be an intimate venue.
The afternoon session will cover a brand new and exciting initiative by AGSL. Does anyone know what that might be? I can tell you that it will be very interesting to many in the pricescope community and across the diamond industry. You will want to be there to hear this breaking news as this initiative is being born.![]()

I know what it is! It would apply to something I own.No guesses as to what the topic of the afternoon session is?
Do you need hints?
Planning on joining for the Friday afternoon session onward....I need a shirt that says bludiva looking forward to meeting you all![]()
So Bright Ice, if it works for you I am going to wait for you and Yenny and anyone else that wants to share a ride. Too bad we can't share numbers or email; DS probably has my contact info though. I guess I can wait at the Southwest area in the airport and look for the most sparkly, bedazzled lady in the room - lol!
@MissGotRocks that sounds great!
Contact me through this LT listing, it has my personal email listed.
