So your question was sarcastic?
Rhetorical?
Because that was a rude ass response.
That show shouldn't be so stressful!
How bout asking the person if they have another stand that looks more like the one I suggested?
Because those feet are taking away from the tree. That's not IMO. Or if it is.....my opinion is golden.
"If it were my budget", means I would have only that stand for that tree and I would have to make it work....so I would do that......yes, to that stand, because it would work better.
And I only suggested a black background so people could visualize it different and stop riding you like a whore mare, about how it looks wrong.
If you could possibly get an actual photo,
All the better for US.
Just because you all jump when Boon says,
Well, I'm not Boon, just thinking creatively.
Doing exactly what I say is not a requirement, especially when YOU know it is impossibly stupid.
Now we missed the boat on a more appropriate stand because Boon has you'se trained to ONLY do exactly.
Oh I'm real! You are welcome to get here too! But he may have to change it to....
Extensive.
Sorce
Sorce,
I'm not trying to be rude, just trying to get you to understand that the objections and suggestions you made about the stand and the backdrop are just totally unreasonable.
My tree is only one of 114 trees on display. It is nowhere near being one of the nicest trees, but the flowers are spectacular.
There are about 30 people who are members of the club that put on this show. They constructed all the backdrops several years ago that they reuse every year for this show. They also store all the tablecloths and, table skirting, mats, etc. All this stuff is loaded on to trucks and brought to the building the day before the show and has to be constructed.
Then, there's the trees. They all have to get loaded onto a truck and brought over.
Then, there's the stands. Boon owns a huge number of stands. Of all sizes and shapes. Yes, the other members own some, too, and most are happy to bring what they have and let others borrow them during the show.
The thing is, you never quite know in advance exactly what all might be needed, you might need some tall ones, round ones, dark ones, light ones, large, small, plain, ornate... So you bring them all.
So, each tree was on a stand. That's 114 stands. There were probably another 50 stands taken to the venue that were not selected for use this year. (Not to mention all the little slabs and jittas necessary for the accessory plants.). But that means there were approximately 200 fine quality display stands available.
Most are rectangular. A few were round. Some members choose to use their own stands for their own trees. That's understandable. So, I needed to borrow a fairly large, somewhat tall, round stand. I'm amazed there was one, pretty much the exact size I needed. The little feet you are objecting to didn't bother me in the least. I was really happy to have found a stand that fit so well!
Do you have any idea how much a stand like that might cost? An imported Jspanese stand? They generally run about $300. Some less, some more. For an event where it MIGHT be used one weekend a year, someone owns and stores a stand. I'm really greatful they had it. And were willing to share it.
Same with the backdrops. And the blue felt. Gee, Sorce, I was just happy to be allowed to participate! I'm not going to be complaining about the stand (which I thought fit perfectly) or anything.
I know you thought you were being cute making silly comments about cutting the feet off the stand... But, it also tells me that you really haven't ever done it yourself. It's easy to be an armchair quarterback. You'll find that playing offensive line is a lot more difficult than it appears to be on TV.
When you get more courage, dig deep and make some nice depressions on that wood for more drama!
