Randall, John,
My bride and I are planning to come. Don't have a definite date. Should we try to coordinate something for lunch or din-din?

Randall,
Thanks for the invitation. Might not have gone had I not been given a kick in the slats. Caren is quite a lady, Bryan and I thoroughly enjoyed meeting her.
Gang,
If you have never seen Randall's work first hand you are in for an amazing adventure. I first saw one of his clip boards when he brought it to Port Eades to Uncle Vic as a gift. Knocked us all out, especially Vic.
For those of you who are not familiar with Randall's work he carves from one block of wood and hand paints some of the most amazing subjects. Check his first post at the top for the show sites or go to his website.

The D. C. show we attended is the most prestigious craft show in the country and his work shines through. You should see the faces on the patrons when they learn that all of is works are one piece of wood. Most we saw stood in awe and kept saying, "One piece of wood? No way!"
Hope you kicked ass Randall.
Hope the two of you can make it to the 'land of pleasant living.'

Randall,
Hope you do well.
I've done more than my share of shows. Five years in the machine tool industry and the past twenty in home shows...You get tired of saying the same thing and at the end you can get punchy...next time someone asks what one of your carvings are made of,
Try this....(with a Tony Soprano kinda accent)
" It's injected molded plastic ..Have em made in china and I have a container full at Port Elizabeth...
They're five bucks a piece or 2 for 9.99..
How many you want???"
Reaction should be priceless..Especially with who I can imagine are your clients..
Good luck with the other shows. I'd like to catch one if you ever make it up this way.

TW...just read your post to my wife caren....cracked her up. she has to listen to me talk all day. this is only the second show of this type ive done. all the other shows are gallery and museum shows which are far longer and much easier. you go to the opening and talk to 200 people for 20 seconds each and you done. this is a little nuts but it worked out so well the first time i gave it another shot. besides sales its good for networking but 99% is wasted effort and mindless babble.
today i was comparing it to fishing......im not trying to catch 50 bluefish...im trying to catch a marlin. so far we have one in the cockpit and one on the hook.....and a small mahi.

The most important thing about doing shows (I've done them for thirty years as an exhibiter and speaker) is comfortable shoes.
Bet you noticed that right off, huh, Randall?

I installed your VMC 760 for your Dad Jack back in 80-81
