@drew33998 so...your Stacy? Or what...I stated I'm jaded...I was in the "feel sorry for Stacy" sort of group on that thread that got locked. I am going on history of how things were played. I did say I was jaded...I don't like to be taken fool. When I catch myself in such a role. I become wiser.
He posted he wasn't going to go...didn't have the money. Yet was paid to do TWO demos and guess what...they put a person up for that. Pay travel expense and lodging. So...that my friend is where I grew jaded. He is a talented man...I can not see this being the last of his scroll making. Just like that wasn't a show he didn't attend yet claimed he had no money to go to the show. Yet...had a vending area as well. Think about that...chew it.
Yes, one can say they are sorry. Did he apologies to me. For tearing into me asking a question on another group. From his frustration of how the B-Nut thread turned out? Not so sure...then deleted that and posted another comment. Thing is...first foot first is usually a good way to see a person. I've been here long enough to see a cycle with Stacy. Just saying...
You do know that you are actually discussing 2 completely different shows, Right?
One being the ABS / BSF Convention in Orlando... and the second being the US National Shohin Bonsai Exhibition in Kannapolis.
The ABS / BSF Convention, I did 2 Demonstrations, and not that is really any of your business. .. but, they compted me for 2 nights, which was nice... seeing that in years past, I got nothing, and the second demo started at 9:30 at night, and did not end until after 11:00. The other nights I had to pay for... I recieved No Payment for doing the demostrations, No Payment for Travel, and No Payment for Food. And I paid for the 2 vendor tables.
I told you in the Message I sent you on FB, after your last rant... that I would be more than willing to actually tell you what the terms were regarding me doing the show... that I had nothing to hide... that there wasn't any great mystery... and to be frank, it is not like anyone is somehow getting rich, or making big bucks doing a show.
So, not sure who you are actually getting your info from... but, I would suggest perhaps you actually talk to someone who is not guessing.
The second show... the US National Shohin Bonsai Exhibition, I did not attend... as I said I would more than likely not do, in the thread you refer too.
