In NY and set up...

No images this evening. We just didn't have time (and the camera was in the car)...I'll post some tomorrow. The booth is set up. The layout is strange...but our booth looks pretty damn good, if I do say so myself. We are trying an experimental design (due in large part to limited space. I've built to towers of 4 shelves each with the spanner shelves my father designed/built between all (12 in total). We also picked up a second glass case, to help show off Crystal Cawley's book art work and Julie Stackpole's art bindings.

Setup was a madhouse. Smallish, windy space...no parking/unloading area. Many people received $120 tickets for "standing". I lucked out, pulled out just before the police officer started writing up ours, then was directed by a second officer up a bit further to a legal spot. Bodes well for the weekend, I hope. Nerves were a bit frazzled...but lots of people there and some of my favorite folks, to boot.

It took us about 6-7 hours to set up. I wonder if I'll ever get more efficient . I'll update tomorrow about the first day and include some images.
