Artist announcements coming tonight!

I will be coming down to both these shows !

Will be getting up really early, 4am, to make the drive to Elyria and then heading over to the Comfort Inn in North Wood
to open my box for Book Break day and get some sleep for the next show

looking forward to the list of artists for both shows

This will be the first show my P5 promo will be available. Just got them in and the Dan Gorman art looks fantastic!





These will be available at all the CECE shows in 2011. With a limited print run of 500, I cannot guarantee there will be enough for a SASE offer, so come out and grab one at a show.

Quick note to all- the Hotel Brand name changed from the Inn of Elyria to the Ramada. So, please look for the Ramada sign.
Thanks Paul

Keep an eye out for more artist additions! Coming hopefully later tonight.

Paul,
I'm thinking about making the drive for the 9th's show, how many card dealers will there be? Any card companies setting up?

Thanks, Tim

Can't believe this is just a week away... Where did the winter go?

I'll have my bargain tub with discounted boxes if you need something for Open That Box Day but are short on funds.

I'll also have my camera and can take photos of you and your box/contents if you want to open at the show!

Looking forward to a road trip without snow!

Ed

I am also excited about this show

looking forward to spending some time going through Ed's card's
- will be the first show I have seen him with his full complement of cards

also have my sketch paper made to get some sketches from the artists
- was talk of more artists to be added ....

I'll also have blank sketch cards available. These are from Versicolor and are the same stock many of the artists are using for their card stock.

this is a great idea
- hope there is time to stop and open a box among like minded people

Thanks Ed, for bringing a nice variety of cards and binders.
Sounds like something for everyone.

I heard a rumor this will be next to my tables...

I will have my camera on hand or can take photos with yours.

I'm also going to supply the table with some supplies so all the nice cards can at least go into sleeves.

No better way to celebrate Open That Box Day than to spend the day at a card show!
