Thank you everyone. Applying to the guild was an exhaustive process but in the end it was well worth it. I dont think I slept much the two weeks before the show and the 2 hours while the members were voting seemed like a year.
It was good to meet all of you in person and your input and comments on my work was appreciated. I had the honor of meeting Mr. Trevillion and spent a little time chewing the fat. He is quite a character and I enjoyed our conversation.
The director of Purdey stopped by my table and looked over my work. This quite frankly, scared the crap out of me. We talked at some length and there is a real possibility that I will be doing work for them.
It was a great time and I will see all of you next year. Oh, and Jim may have a white patch but my hair is getting pretty thin these days.
