Hi Everyone:
It's 8:10 a.m. here in Chicago, and I have to get ready to meet folks
downtown, but I wanted to post a quick update:
1) We had a surprise right off: Bill Robb showed up with Tom Cakilic. I
actually knew he was coming, but I was sworn to secrecy. It was great,
great fun to meet him.
2) My husband, Darrel, estimates about 75 people attended the reception, and
the energy was up. I want to say maybe a hundred attended, but it's hard to
say.
3) Non-PDMLers LOVED EVERYONE's work. Folks were really impressed with the
quality--of course, folks picked out favorites, but the body of work was
greatly admired by all who attended. And that's the truth!!!
4) Two photographs have been identified as sold, and two more *might* sell.
This is a good sign for the remaining weeks to come--but take this statement
with very, very cautious optimism. It's always hard to say for sure, and
deals can fall through, but . . .
5) I didn't take many pictures because I willingly got caught up in the
social energy. Friends and family came out to support us, and I wanted
everyone to feel warmly welcomed. At the end of the night, I regretted my
lack of picture taking, but Darrel assured me that PDMLers were taking
pictures like crazy. At one point, someone said to Darrel, "I've never seen
this many cameras in one room."
6) Cotty: I forgot to send kisses via the web cam, but I send you many
kisses now XXX!
7) It was really great to meet all the PDMLers that came--that was probably
the best part of the night! :-)
More later & big, big cheers to the list--you're all with us in spirit!
Christine
