Three shows down and new experience

Posted by Oscar Matos Linares on June 20, 2010 at 10:52am
My first show of 2010 was Broad Ripple, follow by the Community Section of 57th St Art Fair and last one Hinsdale Art Fair. What I was hoping is so far off that I can not understand.

The weather did not help in Broad Ripple but I walk away happy from the show. I learn that my Way system is not supported by processing and they upgrade me to Nurit 8000. Thank God for leasing the unit. Also, I need to run a credit card each month for $1.00 to keep the machine current and active.

At 57th I change spot from south side of the street to the north. I was avoiding the bad drain when it rain. Of course this year didn't happen. My sales when down also so I just wondering?

Hinsdale was my second zero of my life. To make matter worst someone stole at the break down two of sides for my EZ UP. I just got those in and they are back order from EZ Up. The crowd never show at this show and you can not blame the weather (even it rain a lot). This was my third and last chance to this show. The crowd has not improve and the quality of artist is beyond great. This the only show that I see potter, potter, glass, potter in a row.

The good thing even with all the rain none of work got damage. I still have my tent. I did not got hurt and I have a good time at all the shows.

    Thanks Karen. I talk to Scott and no luck with him. I just order new sides from another company. They should be here this week. Who knows, it may be start of great season.

    It was fun to be next to you.

    Hey Oscar, I was your Hinsdale neighbor-artist on the east side. I was whining on Monday morning because I had to unpack everything and set it up on the driveway to dry out. I guess I'm at least lucky that it was all there, eh? I'm sorry to hear you ended up short some sidewalls. Maybe you should contact other artists who were around you, and see if they ended up with extra walls? A couple of exhibitors in our area had extra people come in and help with breakdown--extras sometimes get confused on what's what and how to do things. Possibly another artist just found out they have two extra sidewalls and don't know who they should send them to? Good luck with the rest of the summer.
