"and here I go, going way off topic, a total "no-no" on posts, but Sara, have you looked into www.Airbnb.com for a room nearby? I found a close by room at Ann Arbor for a good price at the last minute in July. Might be worth a look."

bryan bogater replied to Larry Berman's discussion Do Show Reviews Effect Your Chances of Getting into a Show?
"It makes since that they would, they are human also and who wants people saying that their show sucks and contaminating other artist at a show.  Would you invite someone over for dinner if you heard that they said your cooking is awful?"

As a photographer I'm curious how many different images (matted or framed) do you bring to a show?  I'm thinking somewhere around 20 to 30 different images for a show.  I don't know if this is enough or too much or too little.  I don't want to have print bins with hundreds of different images which looks like shopping for records.  A little advice and experience from all of you is greatly appreciated. bryan bogater See More
