Three Good Deals Today.....A Great Way to Start the New Year....

["with the band" 1]

Today was a good Business Day....

1st) I have secured a 6 week exhibit of my Art Work at the Maumee Library Art Exhibit Hall from April 16th - May 31st 2006. This is a really good deal for me as this Exhibit Hall has received a lot of attention lately and I will be the 4th artist featured since they started exhibiting art there back in Sept. 2005. And what a good time.....Spring....when everyone will be willing to come out and play........

2nd) - This Big Deal is a response I finally got from the Cruise Line Talent Booking Agency that I have been trying to convince to give me a shot at doing Enrichment Seminars of the Cruise Circuit. Basically I would have to do two to three 45 minute seminars during a 7 day cruise and I would get paid and be on a cruise for free.....

I sent the lady a reminder email yesterday and today she replied asking for 4 lecture titles ...... I think I am about to get the fish to bite......

3rd) Today I received a letter from a Editor of a Magazine and they are going to publish one of my poems.....Recorded Errors. They want it for a special publication called Pyramid Poetry. It will be available in February. It is one of my favorite poems so I am glade to have it be published.

I love good days at the office......

Too fun. I am so excited.

Good job!!

You are someone who is talented, organized, and able to market your abilities. I am so happy for you. Enjoy the cruise, bask in the attention from the exhibit, and recognize the long-term effects of having your poetry published and brought to many. Congratulations!!!

That's great!

I have a friend who is 4.5 months into a 6 month contract on Carnival Cruise Lines as a "Piano Bar Entertainer". He is wickedly talented and can play just about anything. He plays requests so people can sing along. He works about 5 hours a night, 7 days a week. He does get kind of tired of playing "Piano Man" over and over again, and of course the occassional obnoxious drunk person, but - this is the first time in his life he's been able to make a living just by playing the piano - his passion.

Except fpr missing his son terribly, it's not a bad gig.

Congratulation, that is so awesome! Where is the museum located? Maybe some nearby bandsters could take it in and show support! You go girl!

The museum is located in Maumee, Ohio which is a suburb of Toledo, Ohio.

I will post info for anyone who might be from around here.
