I am hearing very good things about your show at the new Royal Oak location. Do you still want to lure me back to A, B & E. I would like to be there in Sept. 2011. Dave"

- First show ever
- A little Cocoa, FL show on a sidewalk. It was the first show I ever saw and was held downstairs from my little $25 a month shop in old downtown Cocoa. That was the year we began to use the nick name "Cocoa Village".
- What is your website?

- What are the best things about art fairs
- The interaction with the people out front as well as the people next door.
- Best show ever and why
- Main Street Fort Worth. My best show EVER for twenty years in a row. Starting in 1990. Then, starting in 2010, my work was only good enough for the wait list. I guess I am not as cute as I used to be. So sad.
- Worst show ever and why
- A show run by a crazy woman in the south university area of Ann Arbor. I actually paid the fee to be in her show but was placed in an space that really was not in public view.

I was so disappointed when you did not come back to Arts, Beats & Eats in 2008. It was finally time for me to get some of your work and you didn't show. Any chance we can lure you back up here again?
