UGH.

so i send an email on sunday to the theater where my exhibition is to be held next month, just to confirm it's still on and when to arrange the reception and all that good stuff.

no reply, i call the theater just now and turns out the woman who organized the whole program is no longer there, and the owner is out of town, but this fucking space cadet whore that answered the phone is also in charge.

she said 'oh yeah i sent your message to him, he's on vacation but we'll have a meeting on thursday'. she said they might not continue the program since they're remodeling.

W T F ????

i'm like hello, i've been planning for this since LAST FUCKING YEAR. they had my sister do hers in march even though i had been picked first. and people have done it since then. i told her i need to know if it's happening so i don't spend a billion dollars printing and framing everything for naught. she's like oh i'll let him know that you were planning to do it. that they'll decide during their meeting and then she'll email me.

UGHHGHHGHUI12317893192

i'm just gonna call thursday morning and see when he's there and show up. if they cancel this i'll fucking go off. i may need bail money....start passing a can around lol

    Will you be my cellmate? I smell Jail Cell Confessions! We'll pitch it when we go in. :p

    I'm about ready to go off too...I'm sorry you're in that position. :(

    People in charge suck ass...they really do!

    Give us their email address Chiq so we can inundate them with email about HOW MUCH we want to see your work! :)

    And if that don't work, I'm sure we can organize a picket line! :p

    You're probably just dealing with an airhead and it'll be fine once the head honcho gets home.

    Failing that I'll start saving bail. ;)

    It does suck though to be this late in the game and wondering if all your time, energy, effort and funds are for nothing. :(
    NOPE!!!

    thanks doll!

    Give me the biatch's name! :p We need to get my mate Luigi to whack her! ;)

    Hell! Even I've been looking forward to this and I aint even gonna be seeing it in person! That sucks dogs balls big time!

    Don't panic, she's probably not as important as she's pretending to be and if you are already pencilled in and haven't heard from them it's probably just her being a dickwad.
    NOPE!!!

    You can hang it here if you like!!! ;)

    I'm even sugar soaping the walls (least I'm supposed to be :o ) so it'll be a nice space, clean lines and you'd be International! :D

    Well let's assume we don't have to anihilate them just yet and hatch a plan with joe and guido and luigi just in case! :p

    I can't imagine anyone being dumb enough to stand you up on this girl, so I'm thinking it's just a small error that will be quickly rectified. :)

    so i call at 5, guy picks up and says the owner is out, not there this evening. i leave him my name/number and he asks why i'm calling and i say well i'm the november artist of the month and he says oh yeah, that program is cancelled.

    so i grill the dude, i guess after the woman who originally organized it left, they thought it'd be one less thing to worry about. nevermind the fact that it's the artist that does ALL the work, and it brings in people from outside into their theater who normally wouldn't even go. and that september was the last month, and that's why there was nobody listed for october.

    THANKS FOR LETTING A BITCH KNOW.

    i go thru the whole thing again with him, how i've been waiting a year, volunteered for the theater, etc etc. he said he'd leave the message for the owner to call, and that he would be there tomorrow. so now i wait AGAIN and see what happens. i was able to find an office number for the owner but they're only open 10-4pm (which nobody at the theater gave me, thanks again!), so i'm gonna call tomorrow morning.

    i'm so fucking angry it's making me sick to my stomach. it just figures, i can't ever cut a fucking break :(

    the incompetence of our fellow citizens astounds me....b i'm so sorry....sure as shit if forgot about showing up next month they'd be pissed and give you shit...AAAHHHHHH!!!!!! :mad:

    yeah the fact that they didn't have anybody slated for october because they were gonna drop this, yet didn't have the decency to tell me.....that is what is making me even more pissed.

    i'm hoping the owner calls tonite, i figure i can call the office at 10am tomorrow and hope to get him that way. they should honor their word, that's how i see it. if they told me in september what was going on, that's one thing. waiting for ME to contact them a month before (and now we got 3 weeks left)....that's fucked up.

    oh chiquadee! :( I felt sure you were just dealing with some ejiit and it would all be ok but it appears you're dealing with a whole gang of ejiits in a group! :mad: IDIOTS!!!! :(

    This is NOT RIGHT!!! There's gotta be something we can do?

    ((((HUGS))))) to you. I'm off to call guido! ;)
    NOPE!!!

    the theater is literally down the street. like i can see the sign from my bedroom window. and it's taking all i have to not go down there and look for the owner. i'm in no state to deal with anybody, that's the only thing keeping me back.

    it's just really unfair and unprofessional. and if they want to cancel the program, fine....they can do it after i'm done showing my stuff. i just want them to honor their word. apparently that's asking for too much or something.

    jsut makes me sad and upset.

    i agree that they should honor their word...and if they had planned to cancel the program, they should have informed you...it's sad that you have to find out about it's cancellation weeks before and had you not called, you would have no way of finding out...they really suck!

    let's cross our fingers that tomorrow things will be settled between you and management...and everything will fall into place for your exhibits...

    oh definitely, had i not called and just went along with my plans, i would have expended tons of energy, time and my own money to put this all together.

    it seems like these people cancelled this thing and was hoping people would bail out or not show up, and didn't think to follow up with those that were slated. that is really lame. and i have a feeling that the owner is there but wouldn't come to the phone, i was told someone would write me back today, and i've gotten nothing yet.

    so either they're all clueless or lying, or both. not sure i even want to show my stuff there anymore.

    i sure as hell don't think i need to beg, and i feel disrespected. so i'll see what he says tomorrow. if he's decent and cooperative with me, i'll see how i feel. but if i get even the *slightest* hint that he's as much of a bitch punkass as the rest of the people there have been, then i'm gonna let him have it and tell him to fuck off.
