"Agreed.  By the way the other idea I heard was to pour gasoline on the buy sell and the buy seller and set them on fire.  I'm against that."

Hi Ynon! I looked on your website and find that your work is of very high quality and I don't think you would have any problem getting into any of the three shows you mentioned. I have not been to the Fargo, ND show so really can't comment on it. I live in the Black Hills and about one hour from Spearfish. The Black Hills are a wonderful vacation area with much to do and see. Unfortunately, the Spearfish show has gone down in attendance and sales in the last few years. I haven't done that show in probably four years. The sales at Brookings are much better. It usually has a large attendance and I heard that last year's sales were quite good. I haven't done that show for a while either because I go to a Colorado show in order to see my grandchildren. It's a very small college town so don't expect much from the area, but the show is pretty good. Hope that helps. I think their deadline is usually the first part of Feb.

Mayfest is a good show but full of wind and drunks. The Norman and Lawton shows are suppose to be good but we don't do them cause they really don't want local artists. We do mostly shows out of state.
