> Then he said, "My first available slot is September." YOWZZUH! Congratulations, Glenn, that's fantastic! Oh, man, you'll have fun.
> Advice and pointers from those of you who already know how to > play the fine-art game Extremely Welcome. Alert _all_ the local papers well in advance, and send them reminders. Do _all_ your own publicity yourself, and do _lots_ of it. Contact the TV stations (can it hurt?). Send press releases to Baltimore magazine, and to all the local schools, Maryland Institute, UMBC, whatever. Remember that you don't get through to people until the sixth contact. Then get everyone you know to show up at the opening. For four whole weeks before the opening, tell everyone three times that they don't have to buy anything, but you'd love it of they would. When they do buy, give every single friend a whispered, conspiratorial 20% discount just because they're such a good friend, and make each of 'em promise not to tell anyone else. Finally, remember Brett Favre. How come? Well, our Brett, bless 'im, always tries just a little bit too hard to squeeze the ball into tight places. What this means is that opposing cornerbacks _know_ that sooner or later, he will throw the ball right to them. All they have to do is be ready to catch it. If you do all the above, something else good WILL come of it, Glenn. It will. You just have to keep waiting for it, and then be ready for it when it happens. And then jump on it. So keep alert. When the good follow-on thing comes along--intercept! You'll see. This is good, and something _else_ good will follow from this! Congrats again. Where can we see the prints you will be exhibiting?? We want an online preview! --Mike
