I know it’s a weird question but in October it is Halloween and there is a theme park that they turn into a haunted theme park. I love going to the theme park in October but I can only go 2 times. How can I make it seem to come faster? 10 points to best answer.

Our lives seem to go faster when we have the same routine everyday and nothing changes because are brains know what to expect we perceive it faster. If you do this it will feel like October came faster than normal. But I warn you this will really waste your time and you should just live life in the speed that it is in so that you do not have any regrets.

The box is a little worn. The magazine is untouched and has also the press release that announced the use of perfect binding.
How can I find out if it’s worth selling and what might be the price?

The best way to sell an item that you have know clue what it’s value is worth is to place it on Ebay. On Ebay you can set a starting price of the minimum your willing to part with an item. When folks bid on it the price climbs so you make a nice profit. If you don’t like what the bidders are bidding you can always cancel the auction. Try it out:

We must use drama in some way to represent it. Suggested ideas have been comedy, song and dance. What are some other creative ways of performing this that can somehow incorporate in acting?

If it helps the story is The First Waratah.

Thank you (:

a cool way that i think is interesting is by performing it as a gi where a whole group talks at the same time and stuff… youtube group interpretation if you wana see an example theres a bunch haha. sorry song and dance is good too!

In order for the system to perform as intended, all of the components must perform. Each has the same probability of performance. If the system is to have a .92 probability of performing, what is the minimum probability of performing needed by each of the individual components?

cubic root of 0.92 = 0.973

Why does this piece deserve to be included in a gallery setting? What makes the piece successful?

Subject matter (dog, horse, landscape etc) has very little to do with whether it is good enough to hang in a gallery. If a work is good it is good for aesthetic reasons other than subject matter,

How much would it cost to open an art gallery and what would be the monthly expenses?
Please and thank you.
Let’s say in Portland, OR.
Let’s say I wanted to open a gallery in Portland, OR.

HOW…. on …. Earth …. do you expect anyone to tell you that? If you are THAT naive about business, you better just forget the whole idea.

A location in a bad area in a small town might cost $500 a month, a shop in a nice area in a larger town might cost over $5000 a month. Then you have operating expenses, which will again vary greatly. You have business license, accountant fees, insurance fees, and how are you planning on working with any displaying artists? How much will you take from any sells? Are you going to charge for wall space? I hope you don’t think your Father "doing photography" is going to finance and support this whole thing.

This question is simply another variation of the never ending "what do I name my photography business" questions seen on here almost hourly by totally clueless people as pertains to business knowledge. An art gallery is a business much like any other. I suggest you get in some business courses / classes if this is something you want to pursue in the future.

When writing to a gallery owner do I introduce myself as Fair Rabbit or my real name? I want to be professional and don’t know how to go about this. And please don’t say to change the name. I’ve already got a following as Fair Rabbit. Thanks.

Use your real name but specify that you use a pseudonym.

You aren’t obligated (or expected) to bring a gift to an artist’s exhibition opening. If, however, the artist is a particularly good friend, you might bring some small personal token like a bottle of their favorite wine, for example.
