so i've never been to tucson, and I planned on riding down there to attempt and work the gem and mineral show that goes on there jan 29-feb 13.
i know very little about rocks, and was looking to attempt to obtain cash labor work by getting up early and walking around to vendors as they are setting up each morning, asking if they need help. I don't know if this is a valid approach, its just what I've been led to believe.
does anyone have any experience working the gem show? If so I'd like any insight anyone could give, whether in this thread or via PM.
I'm also interested in any knowledge about any good sleep spots in Tucson, as, again, I've never been there!
Cheers,
Andy
