As much as I'd like to be optimistic and believe in the decency of people, the only way I can think of keeping my sanity is to not get hyped up, which is really difficult for me, because I WANT to believe in people...but I hate disappointment, so I just try to be neutral on default. If you show, great and if you don't, oh well. I'll remember it though ;) I really feel you, Lee & I’m sorry for your experiences with some awful, selfish flakes.

I'm running a group show- it's a good place to start, that way everyone brings friends and such and you get your name out there, When it's time to have your own show there should be more than a few people who remember you from the group work. That’s really crappy Lee :(

Bought food, etc. Designed my own invitation. Invited people from photo classeses, the people that work at the museum, people from my softball team, local galleries, family, left invitations at the museum, gave some to the people at my bank, everyone I could think of......no one came. Except my mom, but she didn't have much choice. I was surprised all right, surprised that apparently I don't have any friends & my acquaintances don't care either! People aren't generally decent, because I had a bunch of these idiots tell me to my face that they would come. I especially liked the ones who seemed really psyched about the whole thing, then ditched me. People are all evil self-centered liars that go through life letting others down.
