I should book my flight and accommodations. I’m gonna bring several friends! Plan is to go in the morning on Saturday, and get afternoon passes for the friends who can join me after lunch.

I’m excited to say I’ll be attending PBE this year!
We actually planned out a 2 week road trip of California that landed perfectly in-line with the show. We’re camping for 6 days in Yosemite and then heading over to Oakland/San Fran that Saturday. I can’t express how stoked I am to go to a bonsai show like this. Closest I’ve been to seeing trees this nice was Bjorn’s garden. Downside is we’ll only be able to make it out on Sunday, so no first pickings, unfortunately.
I’d love to meet up with any B-nutters that will be attending that wanna meet up! I’d also love an opportunity to purchase a pin.

This may be the coast live oak from Monterey that @Eric Schrader referred to? If so, it ended up in the Clark Bonsai Collection in Fresno. I know if was a donation from the Monterey Club.

I should still have my button somewhere from nationals last year. Let me look before you make another!Not too late, when I get a moment I’ll start my list for button requests. I’ll probably take them up until October.

Unless it changed substantially I don't think that's it. Check out this page on the Wayback Machine:

Nope, not it. He must have had a ton of oaks with really ugly trunks!
