ummmm… over agitated when I discovered the shorted table. I know
how tough organizing a show is, and he didn’t need me adding to the
problems. I was pretty jazzed about Yvonne having a table because even
though we do arts-n-crafts shows together, your show was a unique chance to
have her participate equally at a woodcarving show. It’s going to
be a hard sell, but there’s next year, and I can probably sweet talk her
into another go… I’ll just owe her a pound of flesh… well…
another pound of flesh.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Yeah Jan we did have fun,
and it was a very good omen running into you and Thea at the Info Center on
route 81 <G>. I was hoping to scoop you and tell stories about it
before you got back from teaching, but… Despite a really bad start
personally, the show was very, very good. For its size, I’d say
great. Compared to the MVAWA show we used to do near Amsterdam and
Albany, it was better because it had more vendors. Lots of vendors, very
high level woodcarvings (and wildlife art) on display, and great
attendance. The foot traffic even had some non-carver/collectors mixed in
which is rare for a show that size. Met a whole lot of students from my
classes at the Northeast Woodcarver’s Roundup (and Lancaster) and everyone
is looking forward to July. Even met “Young John” and his dad
who were there from Ohio.</span></font></p>

style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>The bad personal
start? Yvonne and I were each supposed to have adjacent tables. She
does decorative painting and had several pieces that qualified for the “Wildlife”
part of the show. Unfortunately we didn’t get to set-up until late
Friday and thanks to some selfish, “that’-their-problem-now”
action by one of the artists, we only had one table when we got there.
Not the unusual behavior we’re used to from folks in woodcarving shows,
which made it that much harder to swallow. Then that artist, after
pointing fingers elsewhere, packed up and left Saturday night when her sales
weren’t that great. I’m hoping the organizers have long memories
because despite saying they wouldn’t be back anyway, I believe this
artist counted on the incident and their early exit having been forgotten by
the time applications go out for next year. I’m a firm believer in
bad karma coming around to bite you in the arse <G>.</span></font></p>
