Here's how tired I am... I actually considered using this header:  "I  Just Flew In From San Francisco, and Boy Are My Arms Tired".  Is that horrible or what?!  I'm pretty sure the earth would have opened up and swallowed me whole in retribution if I'd actually gone with that.  In my defense I only considered it for a very short moment .  *tired but not completely addled*

Anyhoo!  Back from SF, which is a glorious place.  I'll expound later, when I have energy, time, and downloaded pictures.   Chinatown was fun, Japantown was fun, seeing the Golden Gate bridge was fun, Fisherman's wharf and Pier 39 was fun...it was all fun.    I met the adorable zipis1 and her roommate Griffin, and that was a hoot (those poor kids!), but again, more on all that later when I'm feeling chattier.  Red eye flights...*sigh*

Briefly though (SO briefly, in fact, that I'm going to cheat and lift all this from the IM convo I just had with rumdiculous...how's THAT for lazy?), the lowdown on the Lahaina Gallery thing.    It was complicated because, hmmm...complicated.  It really IS who you know...y'know?   The gallery is an established traditional art gallery that specializes in REALLY established artists in the middle or ends of their careers..I'm too new plus I do "art object" fine art, so I'm all wrong for them.  BUT...He did look at my stuff, LOVED it, talked w me for an hour or more, and gave me contacts for a gallery that'd be just right for me.  I'm not discouraged because he really thinks my work is perfect RIGHT NOW for the art object galleries.  And high end too.  He said "Oh double that" when he asked about the price on the water dragon...AFTER I said 2,000.00.

So I know what to do now...plus he actually called the gallery OWNER of the biggest art object gallery in SF...while I was right there...and set up the call-back for me.  I just need to call this other guy in a week (he's on vacation).   I have a new contact name, new battle plan...all I need is a new portfolio (but I already knew that), because I sort of embarrassed myself with the old one (it sucks!).  So, y'know...very promising.  I'm not giving up yet.    Welcome to my world.

And I'm out of energy, so, nap time again.   :-)

Did Zipi actually like you? I may be a teeny bit jealous, if she did :)

She said the same thing in her entry, lol...Met Meri, will talk about it later when not exhausted. Gee, what did you two DO? :)

Like is supposed to be LICK. Did she LICK you, lol, not like.

LOL! Oh boy...for a minute there I was sitting with a pout on my face thinking "Holy crap...DID she like me? Oh I certainly hope so! Jeez!" You're too funny. :-)

And yep, I got licked. Slurp on the cheek. :-) She kinda snuck up on me.

Yep! ^____________^ I don't think she really expected me to do it, either. She seemed surprised and commented on the relative dampness XD

But don't be jealous. I'm gonna lick you, too, one day. You can count on it ^_____________________^

You know, I did think you really would lick her. I really did. I warn you that I wear make-up and if you lick my face you'll get a taste of foundation. :)

I won't be at all surprised when you do it to me, lol, if you're ever way north and east of where you are now.

Haha! Yeah, you kind of snuck up on me there...I didn't think you were going to do it! :-)
