Fair enough. (I don't want to step on any toes!) I must admit there's some funny goin's on over "yonder" in that Artist Alley, but I personally don't really speak hillbilly, and definitely don't have any farm animals on hand. I am more of a surfer who is stoked on the theme of this years event and excited to attend and vend. I am also a shop owner who normally doesn't do alot of "Roadshows" mostly because I don't want to take business away from those who don't own a brick and mortar store. (And also because I want time to go around, mai tai in hand, perusing all da 'kine arts and craftiness!) Many of the vendors I know and respect are true artists with amazing stuff who eek out a living by tirelessly traveling around the country showing off their goods. That being said, how 'bout a place for the OTHER vendors who want to show previews of the stuff they will be peddling at Oasis? Has this been done? I did a search and couldn't find anything specific. I have been checking out some of this years vendors and what they have for sale and know for sure I need to stop at the bank on the way down to grab some extra "kala". Aloha, Wes
