[QUOTE="Lucille.b, post: 9743237, member: 51"]That bracelet is so distinctive. It would be hard to wear it without getting recognized. Maybe at some point it will turn up. Such a bummer it was stolen. I went to AR in 2009. I've always been a huge fan, we tried to get tickets in the lottery but didn't get them and I was crushed. But then a friend found someone selling tickets on Craigslist, and we decided to get them. (That was a whole underground scene... people signing up in the AR lottery for the free tickets in order to sell them. Not sure if that is still happening.) We had timed entrance late morning and it was pretty entertaining as I recall. Just checking out what other people brought as we were waiting to be seen, etc. My friend had brought this huge rug for appraisal, and all I remember was we were waiting to take the elevator up with it and when the elevator opened someone was in there with a coffin they brought to get appraised! Barry Weber (RIP) appraised some jewelry I brought and he was so kind and lovely and really took time admiring the pieces and telling me about them. I don't know how they run it now. If you go, it's a definite commitment of several hours.[/QUOTE]
