Sam Spiczka ★★☆☆☆
There was a marked difference two years ago when I participated to this year. Overall artist hospitality and services were abysmal. There used to be a dedicated parking lot for the artist, that was not there this year. There used to be hospitality room in the Sheraton where we could escape the heat and get some water and snacks and use a real bathroom and that was gone. As far as I could tell there was one bank of porta potties two blocks from my booth which is absolutely atrocious. And they were in terrible disrepair when I would go, underserviced and out of toilet paper. The clientele was absolutely terrible. I saw almost no actual collectors. For a thriving city full of upscale professionals, they were almost completely absent from the show. I don't know if it's a marketing problem of reaching those people, but there was almost exclusively low class clientele in abundance. I will not
