Well, Howard Alan Events has done it again..produced a successful art show in the coolest tri-state area in the country.Saturday was chock full of art show enthusiasts- people that appreciate the arts and have the "means" to spend.Maybe it's because we have spent so much time elsewhere this summer, that we loved the show so much- or maybe it is because we missed the D.C. area, the energy, and the good karma that surrounds us when we do shows with Howard, Debbie and Darrin..they bring in our crowd at all their shows and we are pleased.As mentioned, Saturday was the busier, more crowded day-but only because the weather was perfect! Sunday got a late start because of the dreary, rainy morning.Some thought it put a damper on the entire day because the energy was lacking- but things picked up later in the day- and we sold two large pieces.
Just to put things in perspective- a close artist friend of ours said that Alexandria 2010 was his last show for the near future- a brutal year where bills did not easily get paid..he had a "rockin" show- and is probably re- thinking his career move.Anyway- we had a GREAT show- sold many large and medium sized pieces and numerous smaller ones too.This show makes our juices flow, can't wait until next year.
OKAY- now for the vodka report- Bob loves the crab cakes at "The Wharf"- he waits all year to eat them and says they are the best in the country..so Saturday night we went...of course, we ordered our "Patti- thing"- Belvedere chilled up with a float of cointreau..I had soft shell crab(yum) and by the time we were through with dinner...we had three martinis each..one too many if you want to remember how tasty the dinner was...Sunday, after break down and a delivery, back to "the Wharf."..dinner and two martinis each....basta!

Always good to hear positive show reports. Bunches of artists were heading to Alexandria from ABE.
