The only thing that beats sleeping in your own bed and doing an art show, winning an award and sleeping in your bed, and doing an art show- is having dinner with Nels Johnson, while you are doing all of those things! We did the show, won an award (so did Nels!), and had a fantastic dinner with Nels at the Blue Canyon restaurant in Twinsburg, Ohio. Nels was waiting at the bar for us to arrive-dirty martini in hand, we started drinking at the table..Bob and I love a drink we call the "Patti-thing"...Belvedere vodka chilled up with a float of cointreau- orange slice for effect, Nels ordered a very good bottle of wine for himself..a great dinner, good company, and two more days of the art show in store for us.
We did not fare that well at the art show..we were outside in extreme heat for two of the three days.The tents are where you want to be- rain or shine, you will see more people, and feel less stress.We hope next year we can be in a tent. I don't know how the customers perceive the artists outside, compared to the ones inside the tents.I think we are treated like step-children, as they hurridly walk from tent to tent...see you next year...in a tent!
