Sigh Bead Mercantile Show

Was at my local LBS today and saw an ad for the Bead Mercantile Show here in
town this month. This is the one put on by Jane's Fibers and Beads. I
checked the list fo vendors and not only is Lea Zinke going to be there but
so is MAVIS SMITH! I was so excited, I was whooping nand hollering.

Then I saw the date of the show. January 17th and 18th. The same days as the
South Florida Folk Festival, where Valerie and I have shelled out $80 for
booth space. Sigh.

I am SO depressed.

Oh, man, what a bummer!!! Is the show close to the Folk Festival? Maybe you
and Valerie could take some time out from the booth on alternate days and
cover for each other.

Man, that sucks! I'm in sorta the same boat -- the Intergem show is during the
week-and-a-half that I'm going to be in Atlanta, Chattanooga, and Nashville.
Fortunately, I don't *need* to hit the show this time... but I will miss
getting to schmooze with all my favorite vendors, and this will be the second
in a row that hit while I was out of town. You have my sympathy.

Awwwwwwww! What a bummer! I would love to see Mavis! I didn't think she
went that far south! I asked her a few years ago if she came to Ga. and she
didn't come that far south then.

I've been to several of the Bead Mercantile Shows and Mavis herself has
never actually been there. Her husband is usually the one there.

Sure! For Elise and anyone else who might be interested, here's my itinerary:

Jan. 9-11 -- GAFilk in Atlanta, http://www.gafilk.org/ for more info.
Jan. 12 -- No scheduled activity, still in Atlanta.
Jan. 13-15 -- Hanging out in my old stomping grounds around Nashville, unless
the weather is so bad they close Monteagle.
Jan. 16-18 -- Chattacon in Chattanooga, http://www.chattacon.org/ for more
info. I might actually drive over on Thursday. I'll be pretty
busy most of the time once the con starts, but might be able to
get clear for lunch or something.

Anyone who'd like to get together, please e-mail me so we can coordinate times
and such.

Don't beat yourself up too bad - it will probably be Mavis' DH rather than
Mavis herself.
