NE-APUG at the VPC

[jovo]

Well folks, it was a good day... errrrr great day!

It certainly was even though you took my picture Thank you so much for all the work you put into making it as enjoyable as it was. It was a treat to see some folks I'd not seen for a couple of years (Art, James) and meet so many I'd never met before (all the rest!). BTW, when speaking to the new director of the VPC I didn't realize it was her work that was on the wall at the back of the gallery. It was excellent, and I would have told her so if I'd made the connection. All the work in the gallery deserved to be there and was a joy to spend time with. Thanks again!

Thanks again, Gene and the VPC!

Hey Gene,
Great job on the exhibit. I though yesterday went well too. Attendance was good and the photography exhibit has a nice variety.
BTW, Cary's last name is Kozak. We'll be hearing a lot more from him in the Photography community.

OK gang... the exhibit closes this Friday. I usually take down shows on Saturdays, but this Sat the family will be in NYC to see Spam-A-Lot!!!! So I will actually be taking down the exhibit evenings next week.
The following Sat Feb 16 I will be hanging the next show at the VPC, so if anyone wants to stop by then to pick up work that is OK by me. Other than that PM me about when you can pick up.
Those that I will be re-packing and sending back... please be a little patient as I do work full time in a warehouse so it will take me a little while to get all your pics nicely re-boxed.
I want to thank all of you who exhibited in this show as it was a last minute replacement for the time slot. It was great seeing everyone... and who is planning the next event????????????
