Horrendously unflattering photograph to be sure. The cat was content though.

Omaha is under 4 hours away. I believe it is supposed to rain there tomorrow (40% chance) then Sat & Sun be dry and overcast. Perfect weather and if it is gonna rain let it be on Friday. Yes, we stay in hotels. Most of these evnts are grueling, Omaha in particular. We don’t need anything fancy just a shower and comfy bed and air conditioning. Usually something cheapish like Heartland Inn or Super 8. Cheap being under $100 a night. It definately cuts into the profit, but I think if our profit margin was that tight we wouldn’t keep doing them because they are sooo much work.

Hard to say if you could get it all to fit in a toyota 4Runner. Depends on how much you have really. We haul quite a bit of framed stuff, plus loads of prints. We started with a dodge caravan which is pretty small. Thing to think about there is, we blew the transmission on it because it wasn’t cut out for hauling all that weight all the time. So the next two vans were essentially truck engines and frames with van bodies. Designed to haul.

Thanks for the well wishes. Here’s hoping.

How far do you have to drive to get to Omaha? packed like ths, I guess you don’t camp in your van. Do you stay in hotels?

You are leaving today? It is very rainy here, I see by the national weather map that it is dry out there now — I hope it stays that way, you are overdue for a nice dry art fair. Best of luck! Angela
