    Down here in the south we had the normal ups and downs, July was
    terrible but august doubled from last year, after 30 years in this
    business you just never can predict anything. Also in a country as
    big as the US you can't go by what other areas are doing. I was on
    Texas when the east coast was dead and everyone moved to Texas, then
    Texas died and the east coast was booming, its all cycles and we have
    to live with them. Next part of the conversation about business is
    what were the galleries that closed selling. Its wonderful to have a
    store full of wild arty merchandise that looks like a museum but that
    doesn't usually keep the doors open. It works if your in NY city or
    Santa Fe other wise you better have what most people want. I can
    honestly say that if it were not for my custom and repair work I
    would not be open. Also how much did the galleries advertise and how
    many special events did they have, in this day and time you cannot
    just open a store and wait for business. You got to go out and get
    it.
