Red alert!

We just received word that the Clayfolk venue has changed. Due to some sort of scheduling snafu, we are not booked into the Medford Armory, as planned. The Board has scrambled, and found us a new location, the former Toys R Us building at 1300 Biddle Road, Medford, so the show will go on, but all the publicity has already gone out with the wrong location. I'm up at 6:00 this morning creating an updated email card; hopefully, the Publicity chair is onto the radio and TV people to change our spots, and will let me know if any of the daily paper print ads can be corrected.

This is not what I needed to hear, a week before the show.

Oh crap! I hear someone calling a lawyer!

So apparently the venue called us Thursday to ask why we weren't loading in yet. To which we reply, the weekend before Thanksgiving is next weekend? I don't know if the fubar was on their side or ours, but I spent three hours this morning on the phone with Publicity people and updating what print ads we can still fix (basically, the Ashland, Medford and Grants Pass daily papers). TV and radio are being dealt with elsewhere, and the email announcements go out today.

Fortunately, our Treasurer's husband is in real estate, and had a pipeline into available commercial properties.

Such tsouris...
