Does anyone here go to Asbury Park-photo added

I'll be participating in the Art Fair on the boardwalk this Sunday, selling my photos. If anyone will be around there, please drop by and say hi!

I was in one of these a couple of weeks ago in Ocean Grove and did quite well! Also, it's fun to meet and talk to people about my work!

What's happening to me, I'm turning into a social being-oy.

Jane...I sometimes cruise Asbury...I will do my best to try and stop by, but not promising...have to be in the City for Lusia show that night...her final performance.

Oh, that would be great, boobsie! It'll be on the boards near convention hall. From 11 am to about 3, I think.

Robbo, I had a picture of me as my av a while back-Namo saw that I wasn't the "nana" he thought I was~

I live nearby, so I'll try to stop by...I worked the Ocean Grove fair (no comments) to help a friend sell her stuff, and had alot of fun.

I haven't been down to AP since hanging at the Stone Pony.

Ocean Grove? I love it there!

Will you be at any others in the next couple weeks?

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 8/14/07 at 12:17pm

It's part-time doodlenj...perhaps I need a sock puppet!

You know what I was selling, boobsie...now ask who was buyin!

doodle-yay, I'd love to meet you. I'm pming you.

Girly-I hope to be in the giant flea market in Ocean Grove (no comment) on Sept. 8. If not that one, there's one in Sea Bright the same day.

If anyone is interested in seeing my work on line, please pm me and I'll give you my website address!

There are two craft fairs in OG each year, I believe...Its a pretty fun day, if it's not too hot. The other vendors can be pretty cutthroat, so be careful!

[Jane2]

Posted: 8/14/07 at 12:44pm

Oh boy did I find that out! I was surrounded on one side by a power vendor who hung his work right along with mine! I had to explain to everyone that it wasn't mine.

On the other side, I had a guy who was the artist of his stuff and a salesman of the top order. He had them lining up! Even when it started pouring and everyone was runnning with their stuff to the car, he was bargaining with a customer!

anyway, I'm not too worried, doodle, my stuff is unique. there isn't anyone doing the same thing as I am! At least at these fairs!

oh-btw, doodle. I'm not in the craft fairs. Just the art ones. They don't allow crafts in the ones I go to.

Posted: 8/14/07 at 12:47pm

Oh please...I dont get offended by NJ slams...they're usually accurate! Besides, I'm at least not FROM there!

Still Asbury has made alot of progress and is looking good on the boardwalk these days. Are you going to be on the north or south side of the convention center?

[Jane2]

Posted: 8/14/07 at 12:54pm

Supposedly it starts right in front of the old Howard Johnson's and extends towards the Convention Center. So I guess that would be south side? If it rains, it's going inside the Center. Yay.

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 8/14/07 at 1:00pm

South side, yes...the old Howard Johnsons is now called The Beach Club, or something like that...glad they didnt tear down the building, but they charged me $20 for one crab cake...and it still looks like a HoJos! Here's an old pic of the landmark:

[Jane2]

Posted: 8/14/07 at 1:04pm

Wow, I don't remember it ever looking so good!

I guess the prices reflect the Renaissance which is going on there!

[doodlenyc]

Posted: 8/14/07 at 1:06pm

yeah...nice place to stop for a drink, but I wouldnt recommend dining. Darn New Yorkers taking over!

(oh wait, that's me!)

Exactly!
That's what we were called on LBI when I was a kid.

did you know that shoebies is a term coined at the jersey shore about people who would come to the beach and were too poor to buy food that that brought their food in shoeboxes. thus, the term "shoebies."
