    Major Gloat

    Well, ok i know, it's been a while since I posted anything but I've been kinda busy and good fortune has come my way.

    First of all I finally have my web site up and running, it needs a little more work but I have my domain registered and e-mail accounts.

    Secondly I have been accepted into the Riverside Arts Market which is a juried market and I'm really excited about that.

    http://www.riversideartsmarket.com

    I've been there 3 times and so far I have sold a few things but more importantly I've met people who really like my work and that may lead to new opportunities.

    I now have connections with people who restore furniture and on occasion will need a piece custom turned. I have met people who may be interested in some commissioned work.

    I have also been approached by Venues Event Planning and invited to participate in another juried arts market in Ponte Vedra Fl, at Sawgrass Village, which is part of the PGA tour. The dates of the arts festival are May 7th and 8th, the PGA tour starts on May 9th so I looking forward to a good crowd.

    I don't really consider myself to be the artsy type and I guess I'm going to have to learn how to rub elbows with people I'm not really used to being around, so wish me luck. If anyone has any advise they would like to share I would like to hear for you.

    I like it!

    I think you're off to a fantastic start from sounds of things. I like the website, nicely laid out and great variety of items and categories.

    Good luck at the shows and have fun in your asylum...I love that name!! So fitting.
    Laugh at least once daily, even if at yourself!

    Glenn - Congrats on being accepted to Riverside Arts Market! I hope it leads to many sales for you! Same goes for the Sawgrass Village show - hope you sell lots of your work!

    I believe you can add a link to your website somewhere in your personal profile page. That way when folks want to check it out - they can find the link.

    Nice job Glenn. The key to dealing with the artsy types is to leave your firehouse manners at home. They tend not to understand good nature ball busting.

    Matt, I think the only ones that understand firehouse etiquette are firemen.

    Thanks for all the comments everyone.
