Bill Sargent commented on Nels Johnson's blog post IMAGES TO WORK BY--ITS A NEW MONTH--LET'S MAKE MORE MOOLA!
Bill Sargent commented on Nels Johnson's blog post A SIMPLE REQUEST FOR THE COMMITTEE OF THE WINTER PARK ART FESTIVAL
" Nels, that was a nice post but the next time a comment ruffles your feathers go back and look at what you wrote about Les.
"
Bill Sargent commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Gasparilla 2012.. the bad part
" It will be interesting seeing how they deal with this. A show with 150 people would result in booth fee increases to make up the difference. Then it will be a smaller and more exclusive show with fewer artists sharing…"
Bill Sargent commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Gasparilla 2012.. the mostly not bad part.
" We can always use info from positive experiences. The show had its problems, but most of it seems weather related and nobody wants to feel like a guinea pig in a wind tunnel. Unintentional as it may have been. "
Rick Abrams commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Gasparilla 2012.. the bad part
"No.. Don't want to rub it in.
If I'm banned... Eh. I've been tossed out of better...
I can't imagine what layout they will plan next year. 150 booths in the grass only?"
Shannon Blosser-Salisbury commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Gasparilla 2012.. the mostly not bad part.
"I did think it was a better event than I had expected and and better than what I was hearing from other artists. I guess wanted to take up for the party organizers a little bit, in fairness.
P.s. Thank you!!!"
Bill Sargent commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Gasparilla 2012.. the mostly not bad part.
" Thanks for the input on the party. That was quite gracious of them to apologize for the confusion. This makes a bog difference in the tone of the party. I talked with three or four of the pickees and reviews were…"

" Rick, your video along with the story was a work of art in itself. As I said earlier, the directors will probably give you a pass on that one. The guy I talked to has just as much rank as they do and was on your side. Have…"
Shannon Blosser-Salisbury commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Gasparilla 2012.. the mostly not bad part.
"Gorgeous photo and good review. I was one of the juried (and was stunned to have won the Emerging Artist prize) and I freaked out about the ticket fees for the party. When I arrived they apologized for the confusion about juried artists paying and…"

"I packed up inTampa.
Wind was blowing my paintings and people were running out of my booth .
I know packing up early is always a big no no. The two guys desperately trying to save the big tent are show directors who told me Sat. I'd be…"
Jacki Bilsborrow commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Key West, Old Island Days. The vacation that pays for itself.. Almost.
"Love the photos and the great review, too. Now I want to go there really bad. It sounds like a great place to spend some winter days."
Beth Palser commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Coconut Grove 2012
"Thanks Bill for your review, It was very helpful for me in making a decision about doing this show in the future. Love the kissing couple, it's far better than the local residential neighbors standing around chatting in your booth for half hour…"
Jacki Bilsborrow commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Coconut Grove 2012
"Love that photo, Bill. Thanks for sharing it."
Jacki Bilsborrow commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Gasparilla 2012.. the mostly not bad part.
"That is such a cool photo. At first I thought it came off a show poster. It would be great as a bill board promoting their show (wouldn't that be a great sale).
Thanks for commenting Maureen. We love hearing from new…"

"Not nice to have a show with weather like that. Another great pic showing it how it was."
Annette Piper commented on Bill Sargent's blog post Gasparilla 2012.. the mostly not bad part.
"Love the photo Bill and another top review :)"

Ann saw this picture on the way back from the Taco truck and had to practically drag me to the spot
Anyway, for those who stayed after getting hit by the storm, my congratulations. The day turned out fine if a bit windy. Although they were late, the crowds came. Many…

I never look at the comments at the bottom of my AFI page, so I missed your response about Decatur. Thank you, this is much appreciated. I plan on kissing the frog this year :o)
