Anahiem Part Two: Critters

There were a lot of critters.

I'm going to try and remember what each of them were.

I am stumble a bit, so bear with me.

This was something I was surprised about... The Ivory Fire. VERY interesting paradox animal, I find it fascinating.

A Super Special... I COVET this animal.. They are gorgeous.

Pastel Butter Pinstripe. Very cool looking to say the least...

The Caramel Genetic Stripe. I am very very tempted to start on this project now, even though I don't have any Caramel females.

This is the Desert Butter, from what I remember. I had a friend that was drooling over this one, and I have to admit, it was pretty sweet.

The TSK Axanthic Clown from Reptile Image. My camera didn't get her true colors at all, but she looks fantastic still.

The TSK True Ghost and a Lavendar Albino.

The TSK Axanthic Bumblebee and a Pinstripe. Guess whose table these were all at??

The Puma. I'm intrigued by this morph, and am curious what will happen with it over the next few years.

Super Pastel Champagne. I was surprised how the Pastel washed out all of the color in the Champagne. Very interesting, and something to think about if you are interested in that project. I have to admit, I don't have any yet...

The Soul Sucker.

And this little guy was next door to my booth. He was too cute...

So there is a bit of what the show had to offer.

As I mentioned before, Leonardo DiCaprio stopped by, and a LOT of people were all a flutter. He didn't stop by my booth, but he was walking down the aisles and I did see him. I would have loved to get a picture with him, but I didn't want to bother him...

BUT! Donald Schultz from Wild Recon was there, and he and I took a picture together.

YAY!

Sometimes you gotta love living near Los Angeles.

Anyway, more again soon.

And by the way, if you are interested in shirts, E-mail me and I will get them out to you ASAP. I plan on getting a big group out the door by this weekend. I have sizes from Small up to 3XL, so don't be shy!

Have a fantastic day, my friends!

Anahiem Part One

Okay, it is 11:20PM on Sunday, I am just settling in from the show, and I am going to go day by day on the show stuff so that I can make this easy for me so that I can go to bed.

Part one is SET UP- Friday Night:

This year, I got put in the side, which is not the best place to be...

But we went ahead and got both booths (I needed two this year) together and setup. The banner got hung up on the curtains that they provide, and the tables got arranged appropriately.

The acrylics from the Reptile Emporium were put up and prepped, including the towers. Acrylics are a hard thing to work with, as they scratch pretty easily, but when packaged well in boxes, they are fantastic to work with!

Then the table skirt was finally found, and put on the tables. Looks pretty snazzy now, huh? Jasmin was standing behind the booth when I took this picture, sporting her kickass Heather's Herps shirt. Not everything was setup yet, but most of everything was done at the time.

Fast forward to Sunday Morning, which is unfortunately the only time I remembered to take a picture of the whole booth after everything was setup.

Tim and Lewie were hanging out in the front with Colette Sutherland, and The Joel and Pat were kicking it in the back, getting ready for the doors to open for the crowds.

General recap of the show:

It was a great spectator show. Lots to see, there was even a Tiger!

But in terms of people buying, there were people there, but not many. Many small end things sold like hotcakes, but in the end, it was not a spectacular selling show for me, which it usually is. I was a tad bit disappointed. I came home with more animals than I expected, so that was interesting.

Lots of famous people stopped by, Donald Shultz was there, I got a photo with him, and Leonardo DiCaprio was walking thru the show as well. I did not take a photo with him, he was trying to be incognito.... But it was fun overall, worth being there, and had a great time meeting people and talking shop.

Tomorrow will be Show Animal Spectacular!
