Marjorie S Rawson commented on Nels Johnson's blog post ESCALATING BOOTH FEES--IN THIS RECESSION WHAT ARE THEY THINKING?
"Barry said:
:One July show I got reinvited to, wants all their money in January. I think they should be ashamed of themselves. That's like buying a six month CD at a bank, with a 0% return. It's getting to the point where…"

"I agree with Connie about missing the great posters who made me laugh too. Where is Nels? Working maybe? I know that's what I have to do. I have had my secretary hat on for 3 days now ..and I'm grouchy!"

Marjorie S Rawson commented on Don Dixon's blog post Where are the shows?
"Welcome to our world....It takes about 5 years to get this train moving . This is not a quick buck or easy life. Not only to you have to choose the right shows, you have to get into them. And its not easy. It can be and is satisfying . But you are…"
