Did everyone else get this as a mass email? Anyone know anything about it?

[Andymac]

No, but Hi Elyse! Tweek what's-his-names' mustache. Miss you two.

[ELYSE!]

Miss you too! As a matter of fact we were just taking about you today and about you are totally cool, (really!). <3

I got it. I bet it went out far & wide.
If it really does stick to the 90's I can understand their casting a wide net, as I'm betting 98% of the recipients were not yet producing posters in the 90's. Or shaving, or drinking legally.
Hi Elyse!

[ELYSE!]

HI Dan! <3 Thanks for the answer, guys. Think I'm gonna pass just because Michael has me doing so much already.
xoxoxo

Hi Elyse!

I heard it got changed to 90's and BEYOND. So it should be open to allot more people now. Pretty reputable little gallery from what I hear. It's worth checking out.

Well shit, then why not just call it "Another Poster Show Of All The Same Artists You See At Every Poster Show"

A strict 90's focus would have been interesting.

My dealings with this gallery have gone bad. I responded to this post (posted by SPACE242) after a search of the internet and these forums turned up nothing negative and showed that it was a "real" gallery. The person I have been dealing with was Ami Bennitt. I have no problem posting her name because she doesn't seem to have any problem avoiding me or refusing to solve this problem. If you are dealing with her, beware. She originally asked for 3 copies of 5 pieces. After I submitted them she contacted me and asked me for more. She said I could send up to 30 different pieces, and that they would give me my own "section". This made me a little nervous since I have not been at this long and I am not nearly as established as a lot of other folks... Wasn't anyone else participating in this thing? I sent her 3 copies of 10 pieces. I did want to get my work out there, but I have not even printed 30 different designs. Once the show was over I contacted her to see how it had gone. Ami got back to me right away and told me that the show had been extended and that I had sold "a few" pieces. She would get checks out as soon as the new date came and remaining prints would be packed up and shipped out a week later. That was in January. In February she told me that I had not sold anything, she had confused me with someone else named Pete. Again, the prints would be shipped back within the week. Now it is the end of April. She will not respond to email or phone calls. I can not find any other contacts for the gallery and the only news can find online is praising Boston's Lowbrow Headquarters. I do get a newsletter every week or so announcing whatever new show is coming up.
I just want to know where my prints are. If they didn't sell, why have they not been shipped back? How hard is that? So, I am posting this in each thread that SPACE242 posted. If anyone lives in the Boston area and is willing to glare at them when you walk or drive by, please do. But do walk by, and for Pete's sake don't send them any of your prints.
