Day Two Boston ABAA and boar at the Duck...

We started early at the shadow show. Saw a reasonable number of interesting/sexy things. Managed to only buy one thing...but what a thing. Very cool, large collection of signed silkscreened posters and supporting text, bound in wooden boards covered in lead (because it is just not enough to be really big and bulky, one must also be really heavy)...all wrapped in black rubber. Very interesting, very cool. Bought it with another, which was nice in several way. Now to see what we can do with it...

The fair opened at noon. My parents drove down from mid-coast, which was really nice. They had fun going about and reconnecting with old friends. I saw a number of friends and clients. Another day of very strong, engaged interest. Soft sales, but I've heard this from many...as I've said before, the fairs are really about getting the brand out, meeting new people and waving the proverbial flag. Also met someone who may well be my new best friend...and that is always nice ...

We spent the evening with a friend from Delaware and John and all at Lame Duck and the Gallery. John kept the bar high (and well tended). The food was great, roast boar and suckling pig with nice supporting dishes. The art was interesting, the people were great. Have to admit that I spent most of the evening downstairs as it was much cooler down there and I have becoming increasingly heat adverse...

To bed now. Chapter member breakfast tomorrow morning before the fair and then another 5 hours before breakdown and home. There is a reasonable chance I will not be able to post again tomorrow...depends on how sentient I am when we get back to Portland. It might be Monday. Great fair thus far...
