This two day event should be a lot of fun. I'll try and get some pictures.
Hope to see some folks from here.

 

[Dav4]

Hopefully, I can get my folks to watch the kids...I really want to see Mario in action. I'll plan on seeing you there Tim (in the pot room).

Sorry but I'm under a self impossed ban from the Pot room.
I might even be banned from the greenhouses lol well maybe the 2nd house. That's where the food is.
The sales start this week as well.

 

[Dav4]

Tim, I've been under a self-imposed ban of the pot room for several months, as well...I just choose to ignore it.

Sounds like a lot of fun, I never get bored around bonsai people. There are so many talented bonsai masters with different skills. I just happen to love the pure traditional Japanese style, that's why I like Marco's work, when you train with Kimura what else are you going to learn. I'm sure there are others that are very good at what they do, but I'll stick with my "Man" for now.

Harry

 

[Dav4]

I met Marco during a demo at New England bonsai 2 years ago...the guy never stops moving or talking while he's working. I loved to see him do his thing.

Tim I saw the pm, I hope so, but not sure yet, but I do have a chance to see Sagnaro tomorrow night, along w/ Colin. But I hope I can make it down.

Harry I had the opportunity to have a demo and workshop w/ Marco 2 years ago, very oriented to his training, which was cool to notice w/ 2 demos w/ Isao Omachi this month, the way they work is very similar.

 

[TimD]

Great Bill I hope ya can make it.
Guess it might just be Shohin Saturday for me. I think there is a clause in my contract that if you miss an event with your teachers name on it you end up with a snapped off apex at your next class. By accident of course.
Rob n Dave ya might wanna check out your contracts as well.

I'll be there.........and I'll be keeping a close eye on Dav4...lol.,,,,,Last season. I was at Ne Bonsai about every 2 weeks for about 3 months straight. Thought I saw and memorized where every tree was....However, Dave would post beautiful pre stock that he just picked up from Ne Bonsai. I would be like.. Where??????? Where was this tree Dave??? How could I have missed this one being up at the nursery continuously......In which he would respond....Oh, it was right out in the open at " such and such" a place....This year, I'm taking no chances...lol....

Rob

 

[Dav4]

Rob, eat your wheaties and bring a thermos of coffee...this may be the last hurrah for me at NEBG, at least for this year. You might not be able to keep up...

Dave

 

[october]

Hi Dave,,,,,,Maybe you should take an interest in tropical bonsai...lol.... You are moving to a warmer climate......You don't want any more of those large conifers.....

Rob

 

[TimD]

oh this don't look good. Don't think I've ever seen Dave in the Trop houses. We might have to get him a tour just to make sure he don't get lost in there.

 

[october]

I'll put a nice fukien tea aside for him.......lol

 

[october]

p.s. I'll be bringing my attack frog. He is trained to attack on command. so, if you have a literati shimpaku that you are ready to buy and I want it.. be prepared to be bitten...HA ha ha hah a

Rob

 

[Dav4]

Thank-you but "no thanks" with the tropicals...the only tropical bonsai I had was a fig I won in a raffle...it froze to death one fall on my enclosed porch. Oh, and please, Rob, leave the frog at home...I've wrestled with rottweilers that were less intimidating then that guy.

Dave

 

[october]

lol....And he is the smaller of the 2 males..Don't make me bring the big guy.........lol

Rob

 

[TimD]

Hey it's Shohin day, he would eat all the trees.
Jabba stays home.

 

[october]

lol....Hi Tim....That big guy is not the same one I emailed you. He is my other one. As far as eating the shohins,,they are safe,,these animals only want live meat....Anything moving and meaty, they are all over it...lol........

 

[TimD]

Well maybe the people should be worried then. Last time I was down they all appeared to be moving and very meaty.
With the special guests showing up it would be a sort of foreign cuisine.

See you guys tomorrow.
