It’s Friday!!! The first full week of setup for the Arizona Fine Art Expo has come to an end.

Muscles are sore, injuries are light, feet are tired, but spirits are high as we have completed the framework for all three tents. We are completely on track for the opening of the 2010 Arizona Fine Art Expo.

Much to our surprise, donuts were graciously provided to us at the start of our work day by promoter Judy Long. Not to be outdone, Judy’s husband Dennis bought us a round of drinks following a fun & productive workday. (Thank you to both – from all of the crew!!!)

Speaking of fun: after 5 days, many blisters, and countless hours together, our work crew has officially come up with nicknames for each of us. Lorin aka “Mr. Fingers”; Rich aka “San Diego”; Brent aka “Big Dawg”; Andrew aka “Jorsie”; Shane aka “Super Shane”; Mike aka “Chipmunk” and/or “Mighty Mike”; Danny aka “Uno”; Thadeus aka “Thabulous”; Christine aka “RV Chick”; and myself aka “Matty Muscles”.
