Upcoming Show!

So in case any of you didn't know, I have a show coming up very soon at The Carnegie in Covington. The Parade show opening April 5th. Its a pretty big deal for me, because there should be a lot of press associated with it. The Carnegie also gets a lot more traffic and submissions than any other gallery I've shown at thus far. And most importantly, I will be in the main gallery with only two other artists, both of which are photographers. Which means that I will be the only 3-D artist in the space. It is both very exciting, and very terrifying. I'm starting to feel the crunch of the looming deadline quite a bit, but I have been working hard getting everything ready and I'm sure the heart-stopping terror will go away eventually. *Nervous laughter* Its all part of being an artist right? Usually how I deal with this feeling is by asking myself "What's the worst that could happen?" The answer to that is usually "Well... I could burn the building down." So then I ask "What's the worst that could happen that is actually in any way probable?" And usually the answer is not that bad. So I take precautions against the probable worst and just try not to worry about the rest of it. 

I'd love to hear from readers about how you deal with the pressure of an event like this? Do you stress out, over-prepare, maybe have a drink or two? Lets hear your comments people!
