    Friends, I an now done with ACC Chicago, except for the usual
    clerical details. I have over 250 emails to catch up on, mostly
    Orchid, but I scrolled down the list. I am overwhelmed by the number
    of responses to my "jeweler's heaven" post. I am very anxious to
    read them all, thougfh I will have to put it off just a little
    longer. But really, folks, I am moved by the response. Thank you. As
    for the "not-so-much", that would be ACC Chicago. A few people asked
    me to post my experience at this, my first ACC show. The ACC people
    were helpful, efficient and business-like. Everything went very
    smoothly for set-up and tear-down, and that part was quite painless.
    I was disappointed that there were no amenities during the show,
    like a break area away from the public, or coffee, other than during
    set-up. The food area was horrendous-- nachos and hot dogs-- but I'm
    told ACC doesn't control that. And there was an AC blowing directly
    down my neck--we were really chilled, though it was 75 outside. But
    the real story is the crowd. There wasn't one. Attendence was really
    sparse, and sales were very disappointing, for me and most of the
    other artists I spoke to. My largest sale was $350, and only one
    that high. I don't have to think about it again until it's time to
    apply again, but it sure wasn't what I was hoping for. I made
    something like $400 over my cash expenses. If anybody wants
    more/other info, let me know. Noel
