MAGIC is where buyers meet sellers. The sellers must be ready to take orders and ship goods. Retailers will dedicate their shop space only to stuff they KNOW will sell. Most good business people are not going to gamble, and if the goods do not sell, they will ask to return them.

My wife is a wholesaler and the first thing retailers ask her is "what's selling"? Beyond that, they may buy what they like, but that's not what the business is about.

I dont know about Fok, but I'm pretty sure the rest of the team isn't going. The only reason .i was going to be there was to film.

Exhibitors at Project have to be approved by Sam first.

It looks like the documentary project is on hold, but hopefully we can line everything up for the next round of shows (July/August) and do it then. Will keep the board posted.

Eric,


My favorite quote from Goethe is:

"If you have a dream or an idea begin it for in the beginning is boldness magic and genius."

I would not wear anything that you make but I have admired your boldness and energy and I encourage you to keep going. I look forward to hearing that you are the next avant gard discovery.

Good luck!
