I have always wanted to go to the huge gem and mineral show in Tucson, Arizona and after a last minute decision at the beginning of this month (January) I booked a trip to go.  I know you're supposed to book these trips much earlier, around the fall season before the show, but I didn't think about it until then.  I'm sure I could have saved a boatload of travel expenses by booking early.  

    Anyway, while I am there I'll be posting some story videos to my @jdrewsilvers Instagram page, as well as my Facebook page facebook.com/jdrewsilvers and am also hoping to use my new camcorder to post a video series on YouTube either daily, while I'm in Tucson, or after I arrive back home.  I say that last one loosely as I've never taken on a task like that before, so it may or may not work out.  But, if you're going to be at the show, send an email to drew.silvers@gmail.com and maybe we can meet up at some point!
