Elton John had said goodbye. A tremendous concert, his last one ever in NJ. Quite an experience!
The Apollo 11 movie was a masterpiece; I am glad I got to see it in IMAX, and I cannot wait to get a DVD.
Big Apple Comic Con became a rather nice start to this year's convention season for me. An old-style, boutique convention in the middle of Manhattan. A bit of a remnant of the 90's but, with lots of familiar faces attending, I ended up having a wonderful time.
Repeating my words from an earlier post - whiskey tastings do not disappoint. Informative and tasty. The late March tasting has confirmed that that my favorite Irish whisky is still Redbreast.
All in all, the NJ Mineral Show was rather nice. I have noticed a more pronounced presence of things tumbled, polished and carved, and there were definitely less fossils this time around. I walked away with a lovely piece of polished lapis lazuli but not much else. I think this year, the best part of the show was the Aerolite Meteorites exhibit. I hope they will attend again next year.
