I went to the show in Denver earlier this year. Just AP prints mind you, but they weren't sold until that day, first come, first served, friends of the owner and employees first though. Also one per group so if you were with someone you couldn't buy one each. It was very busy but nothing like the line at Palm Springs in April when the prints were presold and only the show print was available.

The employees said they'd been getting calls from all over the world and offers to pay them under the table and even meet them for a deal in the street. I'm sure at least a few prints went that route, half were sold by the time I walked in and I was first having stalked the place from across the street all afternoon. It was February, no one was getting in line early and the gallery kindly gave us numbers so we could come back when the doors opened to the public. I talked briefly with a woman who had flown in from Kansas City.

I'm on the Shag wagon for a while but a good friend of mine will be there. She's finishing up a job trip in Vancouver and is taking the bus down.
