This year one of my goals was to broaden the locations for show participation. So far I’ve been to St. Louis, MO,  Savoy, IL and most recently Albuquerque, NM. The trip to Albuquerque has been the most involved on lots of levels.  It’s about 14hours by car, so there were extra travel days in the (rented) SUV and extra nights in the hotel/motel.  It was an outdoor show, so had to bring the tent in addition to all the other usual setup.   One is at the mercy of the elements— 40+ mile/hour winds. There was some damage to the nylon “walls” of my tent but otherwise came out OK–others, not so fortunate.  It was a beautiful venue and I met great people.  I’m hoping to return in Dec for a show in  Santa Fe.

Booth set up, day 1

No tent on day 2. Note broken supports of my neighbor’s tent (on the left).

This was a great place to stop, coming and going
