Decompressing from first art show- Key Biscayne

Key Biscayne- 
I learned more than I sold.  That pretty much sums up my first show.  I learned that my Spanish has completely deteriorated over the last three years of not living in North Cuba aka south Florida. And I am no longer confident in my negotiating in Spanish.  On a more positive note, picking the brains of artists who have been doing the "circuit" for 25+ years is invaluable as is getting some hand on experience doing these things, I have figured out how I am going to want to restructure my booth set up which i hope makes a world of difference.  All of the artists I met that travel around and do this full time (by full time i mean full-ish time, I am doing this full time. I dont have an address, I have a VIN number.  Which for the full-ish timers I think is a difficult concept because they feel like they're doing this full time, but not having a place to return to between shows is unfathomable.  Kinda strange) which brings me to, they're kind of weird and quirky.  this makes me feel somewhere between normal and like i fit in and good about myself :) haha.  So I wonder, does this sort of lifestyle inherently make you weird? or do you need to be already be weird to embark on such a journey?? we shall see.  Make a mental note of my current weirdness and lets revisit that in a year.  :)


TO TAMPA!
