John is a cutie, and he's hilarious! I love my brother. :-)
I think Lahaina will be a good fit. I REALLY want my work in there...I want it so much I'm afraid I want it TOO much and I'll be crushed if they say "Eh...not so much". It's SO hard getting galleries to take me seriously when they hear that my medium is leather...it's generally considered a "craft". I've actually been rejected from shows when I've been honest about my materials...and then the following year been enthusiastically accepted to the SAME show using the SAME slides...but just changing my category to "fiber art" or "sculpture" rather than "leather". S'funny and maddening at the same time.
