    I know what you mean after living in Germany for 8 years. My son said it was in the upper 80 degrees F last weekend in Belgium and now the highs are in the 60'sF. Crap shoot for sure.

    Thinking of her. Rapid recovery for her! Best to you.

    I will be there! One idea I have after last year’s experience is that we could all write our forum names on our name tags. Last year, @ancientcoinguru and I met face to face and never realized who the other was until we posted about the show later.

    We wrote Mr and Mrs Theodosius on our tags last time we went, which helped us meet a few cointalkers.

    I’ll most likely just have “VK” on mine. Last time I was at FUN I had my full username spelled out but I squeezed it onto the small tag and as a result I ended up writing it too small.

    Bad news guys. Been having some car trouble in the past couple of days, so unfortunately I won’t be able to go. Going to try to make it in January though.

    That is a bummer, @ValiantKnight !

    We will grab something to eat around 12:30 from the food vendors. It would be great to meet people there where we can sit and talk without annoying the dealers. We are bringing a few coins to give to ancients forum peeps.

    Great meeting Aidan! John and Larena (?), and Brian B. Super to see @ancientcoinguru again (my Younger coin Sis)

    Brian’s quiet dry wit cracks me up!
    John’s a manufacturing Bro.
    And Aidan will be an Ancient Coin Force to contend with!

    @Aidan_() ; @Brian Bucklan ; @Theodosius
    Great coin friends, super to finally meet!

    A privilege to meet you Gandalf! It was wonderful to meet some of the gang in person! ;)

    Had some "drinks" with @Theodosius at the show, tasted a little funny though. :D

    Pictures will come soon.

    I'm glad someone appreciates it, my wife just shakes her head when I say my typical inane comments very matter-of-factly.

    It was great meeting all of you and I certainly hope we can get together again next January for the winter FUN show ... and with any luck @ValiantKnight will join us at that time.

    I might as well post a cool coin I picked up at the show:

    Augustus with Divus Julius Caesar, AR Denarius

    Obv: AVGVSTVS DIVI F; Bare head of Augustus
    Rev: M SANQVINIVS III VIR; Bust of the deified Julius Caesar with comet above

    I was just drooling over another one of those a few days ago. What a great coin.

    I’ll just use this thread as an opportunity to say that it was great meeting all of you, Aidan, Brian, and John. As for my acquisitions... A short blurb will be made here in the next day or so.
