"Melanie is correct: this is a very artist-friendly event.
You may set-up all day on Thursday, so plan to arrive early and take your time. We always stay over Sunday night, which makes for an stress-free closing. One cannot drive to…"

Got the 4-star Renaissance. Started at $45. At $50 I got the offer to bid $65 and win, which I ignored. Bid $55 and then $58, which won. $56 or $57 might work. This hotel gets rated very highly…Continue

"Third-hand, I have heard good things about this show. I have never done it.
The HA organization always advertises well and usually brings out a good crowd. The rest is up to you.
Back-in-the-day I did a series of shows in the Rockies:…"
S. Travis Lindenbaum commented on David Bjurstrom's blog post My review of The Woodlands Waterway Arts Festival 2012...
"You are correct that it is a wonderfully produced and artist-friendly show. The couple that got our auction piece came by our booth to thank us, and purchased two more pieces. The VIP Party is not-to-be-missed!"
S. Travis Lindenbaum commented on Ryan Tischer's blog post Brookings Summer Arts Festival...angry at me for cancellation?
"I think the rejection letter was just the easiest form of responding available to them, and meant nothing. A personal note would have been nice, but they a probably too busy."

"Hi Travis, thanks for all these images of smiling people. Looks like the weather was great and the art was mighty good also. I really appreciate your sharing this with all of us.
Don't know why you had tech issues, and I'm sure this was a…"

"I am trying to show a bunch of award winners, but could only get this far: Julie Carlson, Dawn Wain, and Mark and Lee-Etta Van de Bogart. Perhaps I will get more pictures up soon."

S. Travis Lindenbaum replied to Kay Cummins's discussion Anyone have feedback on Contempory Craft Market in SF or Santa Monica?
"I was in Santa Monica visiting family and went to that show. I was appalled at the amount of (what looked like to me) buy/sell jewelry. Way too much jewelry anyway, but a lot of it was imports and strung-beads. Perhaps some of the…"

Priceline for Florida '12
Posted on November 12, 2011 at 12:35pm 8 Comments 0 Likes
I posted this before, but never saw it on the site, so will try again.
So far I have gotten 2 Marriott Courtyards on priceline.com for next year: Fort Lauderdale for $42/night and West Palm Beach for $45/night. Both on the first bid, so they might have gone cheaper.
Has anyone used the auto-bid site that was mention here? I didn't, in part because I forgot to bookmark it.

I just got the 3 1/2* Sheraton for $43/night, starting July 7th. This is a very nice downtown hotel, but NOT walking distance to the show. Parking is free and abundant.

Its late. Please don't ask me to put names with each photo. I just hope you enjoy seeing some of your friends. I tried to take award winners with their ribbons. If I didn't take your picture its probably because you were busy chatting with art lovers. (It was a beautiful weekend and a lovely show.) More pictures are posted below.
