Most of the "regulars" are indeed here in Tucson, but it's winding down.
There is an enormous spectrum of available material - from cheap Saharans
for less than 20 cents/gram to new howardites-and-lunar-and-martian stuff for
considerably more. Michael Blood hosted an auction Saturday night, and
Darryl Pitt had one this (Sunday) morning, and lot of great pieces changed
hands (and a lot didn't). I arrived too late for the birthday bash, but
there has been a great deal of socializing, even amongst all those, uh,
"strong" list-personalities. For all the wrangling and passionate
disagreement that sometimes characterizes this list, when everyone gets
together with meteorites in common, there's a surprisingly strong sense of
camaraderie and a lot of fun. If you haven't been able to attend yet, it
only takes once - it'll positively become an annual trip, guaranteed.
