Knowing you as I do, I think you'll land on your feet; shaky maybe (but that's a beer thing), ruddy-faced, pissed-off and friendly as always. Perhaps you could make paintings of the photos posted here and sell them - with (unauthorized) discount tickets to the food guy's tent...TWDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02796426476297883617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35458200.post-48074000586372518152008-10-27T20:22:00.000-05:002008-10-27T20:22:00.000-05:00OH, NO!Oh, I am so so SO sorry this happened to yo...OH, NO!<BR/><BR/>Oh, I am so so SO sorry this happened to you.

I cannot say enough good things about the Savannah Waterfront Association and the Tybee Island Arts Guild. Quality organizations who know how to handle unfortunate situations.<BR/><BR/>I'm hoping that the right things happen and I can be in Savannah the first weekend of December but I'm not feeling good about the current situation. I've heard nothing from the Holden Beach Merchants Association (festival sponsor) nor the food vendor's insurance company.<BR/><BR/>If this turns into a lawsuit then I'll be done and out for a long, long time. To replace the booth is in the neighborhood of $1,000. I'm waiting for the prints to completely dry out but there's probably another thousand. We just can't afford that. It looks like I'll be job hunting this week.Ben and Benniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12165216797183902071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35458200.post-29052567284659893092008-10-27T11:40:00.000-05:002008-10-27T11:40:00.000-05:00Oh my god, Bennie!

And what was up with the police that they were so casual about your material loss? I'm hoping that at the very least you'll be compensated for your damages - any chance the value of your work that was destroyed can be counted in that as well?<BR/>I hated missing this show; I got stuck in Raleigh, but I wanted to try and go to your next one. Are they all going to be cancelled because of this?<BR/>Dammit - this is so unfair.<BR/>Thinking of you honey...we_be_toyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12100712745473031460noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35458200.post-26199465374096200042008-10-27T11:23:00.000-05:002008-10-27T11:23:00.000-05:00I believe in karma, and I believe in the food vend...I believe in karma, and I believe in the food vendor's heart of hearts, he knows full well that his ignorance and lack of caring has cost you dearly.<BR/><BR/>I also believe that goodness comes to good folks - even when things seem their darkest. I unfortunately relate all too well to what you're going through, as I've been wrestling with the uncaring actions of a former colleague for some months now. Some nights, I stare at the ceiling and wonder how we're going to make it fly.<BR/><BR/>You are in my thoughts and prayers. If I can brainstorm anything in the meantime, please don't hesitate to lean on me.carmilevyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00360045114379957605noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35458200.post-14016581422710370792008-10-26T21:35:00.000-05:002008-10-26T21:35:00.000-05:00Bennie I'm so sorry this happened!
