Mine was that I was sick...I found out right at the end of the show that I had pneumonia. Not much to be done about that but to suffer through, which I did. Many thanks to Sue and Dr. Dan for putting us up anyway, and to Dan for his medical advice. I hope you are staying healthy!
The festival's major flaw was that hardly anyone showed up! I participated in this show last year, and was not expecting huge droves of people, but I did expect a lot more than what we got. It was a bit like the short film "The Lost People of Mountain Village", although not quite as bad. It was a shame, as there was a lot of really good work at the show. I'm not sure how (or if ) the show was advertised, but it clearly wasn't very effective. Even during the Grand Tasting event Saturday night, when some people actually showed up, the focus was on food and wine, with the visual art being more of a side show. Maybe that's appropriate for a rag tag bunch of freaks who make our living this way, but it doesn't help to pay the rent.
While I wish more people had shown up, some of those who did really appreciated the work...so thanks to you for coming and checking it out. I got to look around a bit and here is a selection of some of my favorite work from the show, by no means an exhaustive list:
Jackson Schwartz- cool glass. This guy needs a website!
