Gadget’s Airstream Chronicles

Tom made it in this afternoon.  He popped by my office right before 3, and we headed to the Dells shortly after.

This is Tom’s first visit to Arizona ever.  I think he’s still soaking it all in.  I’ll give you the report next week on his take on Prescott.

After a quick stop at the Airstream for some food we headed into town.  I had a few other prints to show Ian quickly.  Not stuff for the show, but I thought he’d like a look.  In fact, he did and put the two “stand out” prints on display.  Not framed or matted, but put on a stand out board.  Pretty cool.  I’d had them made by MPix.com just to give the service a whirl.  Basically they’re two “one of a kind” prints.

After our gallery visit I started showing Tom around town.  Sadira joined us as we walked Whiskey Row and looked into other galleries and bars.  Busy night on the Row!  Lots of people out enjoying a nice evening.

While walking my phone went off a few times and I ignored it.  Finally it rang again and I decided to pick it up.  Ian was on the other end.  Even though the “show” starts tomorrow he was hanging prints tonight.  A few folks wandered through the gallery, saw one of my stand outs that I’d just brought in, and wanted to know how much it would cost for a larger version framed.

Glad I brought those two in to show Ian…… 

So, we’ve already pre-sold some shots, had a special order for another, and we had a great number of interested folks walking through the gallery tonight.  WOW!

I mean that WOW!  Really, it’s a huge WOW, a huge compliment, and it’s kind of fun.  The buyers wanted to meet me and ask about a larger print, so we returned to the gallery.  They were very excited!  I’m excited now too.  Complete strangers getting a kick out of some of my new stuff!  I can’t wait to share some of the things that I’m holding in reserve!  :)  Like I said, HUGE compliment.

So, pre-show we’ve got several prints sold, and a special order.  I’ve got to get cracking on some large format orders from MPIX tonight.

Tomorrow I’ll be heading out to the Promised Land with Tom & Josh.  A few more pics with the wide angle lens….just for giggles.  No rest for the weary!
