<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 1529491, member: 16948&quot;]Friday started out a little slow but soon the room was abuzz with plenty&nbsp; of public meandering around the bourse.&nbsp; I ended up having a very busy&nbsp; day, and didn’t even get to open the wine until later in the day.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is me and my bff wine buddy Cindy of Vam’s &amp; More</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120906-02876.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Friday night we went to another Italian Restaurant down in Napes called&nbsp; Russos.&nbsp; It was very very good!&nbsp; There were 7 of us, and we each had&nbsp; brought a bottle of wine.&nbsp; The restaurant was very kind and only charged&nbsp; us $5 per bottle for corkage (we usually pay anywhere from $10-$20 per&nbsp; bottle at most restaurants). </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Part%202/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120907-02894.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Part%202/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120907-02897.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>After dinner, a couple of the guys ordered these beautiful and delicious&nbsp; desserts – crème brule and cheesecake.&nbsp; They even torched the crème&nbsp; brule at our table!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Part%202/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120907-02901.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Part%202/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120907-02899.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Part%202/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120907-02900.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Part%202/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120907-02902.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://i441.photobucket.com/albums/qq139/thepennylady/2012%2009%20Long%20Beach%20Part%202/LongBeach-Lakewood-20120907-02903.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Saturday was pretty slow, which allowed me time to prepare a large group&nbsp; of coins to submit to PCGS, gather up coins for Todd to photograph, and&nbsp; pick out some coins to place in Ian Russell’s auction at&nbsp; GreatCollections.com.&nbsp; Then, too soon, it was once again time to pack up&nbsp; and head for home.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Overall, it was a very good show for me, probably a B+.&nbsp; I heard some&nbsp; dealers say they had a pretty slow show, but I know of several who said&nbsp; they had their best show ever!&nbsp; Again, kudos to Expos Unlimited and&nbsp; Collectors Universe for working so hard to improve this wonderful show![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
