01:30 AM – Wide awake on my bed, thinking about the always dicey unload operations when we arrive at the Metropolitan Pavilion in NYC later in the morning.
04:00 AM – Out of bed, teeth brushed, coffee made and awaiting for Steve Wanna to arrive.
04:20 AM – Steve Wanna arrives, we load his artwork into my van – somehow it fits.
04:35 AM – We depart and head north on I-95 to NYC.
06:30 AM – Speed camera flashes somewhere in Delaware.
07:45 AM – We’re within 14 miles of the Holland Tunnel – about 90 minutes later we enter NYC.
09:15AM – We arrive at the Met Pavilion, check in and then meet artist Jeannette Herrera and her friend Abby, who are going to help us unload.
10:00 AM – Art is unloaded into the booth and the hanging process begins as the empty boxes are re-loaded into the van

10:30 AM – I drive and leave van in parking garage on 19th Street and walk back to Met Pavilion to continue hanging the work.
3:00 PM – I notice that artist Suzanne Yurdin’s work is not lit properly and spring an extra light at $105!
4:15 PM – I walk over to the Chelsea International Hostel, check in and go to my room, unpack and walk out to the shared bathroom, shower and shave, get dressed and walk back to the fair.
5:00 PM – VIP Night starts and the aisleas are packed!
10:00 PM – Head back to the hostel – over 2300 people attended the VIP night… multiple sales of Bisque pieces and a nice painting by Anne Cherubim.
11:00 PM – Out for the night.
