Early report from Arts, Beats & Eats

Posted by Connie Mettler on September 5, 2010 at 2:06pm

What? You decided not to apply to ABE because it had a new location and you were afraid no one would show up? You have got to be kidding! Attendance is rocking. People very excited about this location in upscale Royal Oak and they are here.

still looking for that day off, Lois! You can imagine the euphoria in the office though -- it has been very hard times here in Michigan for longer than I like to remember and to have this happen is appreciated so much by everyone on the staff.

I had a better show at AB & E than this years Ann Arbor. And, yes, every photographer I saw was cleaning up. Saturday was the big selling day. I will write my review on Thursday when I get home.

I just heard from a photographer friend that a lot of artists had a killer day yesterday. Congratulations Connie.

I did apply but was rejected. But I won't give up - I'll try again next year and hopefully they will have more jewelry artists than just 19 for such a big show. I knew there would be a great turn out of people, and everyone I know who went said they had a great time and were really impressed.
