...you would respect anyone else's wishes as to where they must sit...you yourself claim it is out of respect for the wishes of other's that I NOT be at their table, which I suppose includes everyone there at every table save one...that has made you do this. There isn't another guest you would do this to...there isn't a single person there that night you would force to squeeze in among ten other people...as there isn't a single other person...who bought an ENTIRE table, you would ask to make room for one more.

Yes, this person and I happen to be friends..but it is not for YOU to decide how we should deal or when we are inconvenienced or don't need to be consulted.

You too are singling me out for this sort of treatment...by placing me as an eleventh person at a table for ten you are letting everyone there know I needed some sort of "controlling" by you and your committee...that I am so unruly a person as to have to be placed at a table where I will be forced to "behave".

I don't know what it is with you people...that you go and do things that wind up bringing about just the results you say you fear. I told you I would be satisfied to sit at the back...which is where YOU said you would put me. All would have been well had you simply kept your word. If it's true that no one wants me at their table and there would be mass rebellion at the back tables if I was seated there...you could have put me at a table by myself...at the very least you could have left it open to be decided that night.

You aren't "reserving" a seat for me..as you are for the other paying guests and donors..you are ORDERING me to take my seat regardless of my feelings...something you would not do to any other guest...and your excuse for this is that "I am not popular"??? The truth...the truth that fries all of your balls and clits is the exact opposite...what you fear is that these ideas..which are hardly "mine"..are TOO popular...and you and your committee are going to cut me down to size.

I'll tell you what...I will ask among the people at the back if they would mind my being seated next to them...if there is no room, I'll offer to trade seats...let one of them go up with the rich folk where you can keep an eye on THEM!

Whatever unreasonable and hysterical fears you have about what I might do are grounded in your own knowlegde that you all deserve a good swift kick in the arse...and that I might be the one to do it..and do it that night. I will do no such thing...but I wonder why you seem to want to provoke me...first you ask for sculptures to be donated..and I comply. I ask the foundry to rush a piece through so it will be ready in time...then you tell me you can't be seen auctioning off that sculpture of mine and I say you can keep it to auction off privately...next you ask me for a smaller bronze to give as a gift of appreciation to Donny George...I ask the foundry to rush this one through as well...and they do, finishing it from start to finish in FIVE days...something they would do for no one else...then you tell me your committee doesn't want that one either...even though you initially told me you would TELL them they must accept...next you tell me you'll ship the maquette of Ashurbanipal to Phoenix for THEM to auction off...I suppose because I am "liked" in Phoenix???

You tell me I will have to sit in the back , by the toilet...I agree and buy my ticket...then you tell me you've decided to place me as an eleventh person on the table of a friend of mine..let me ask you something...are you TRYING to piss me off?

If I were the "hot-headed" fool you make me out to be, I would have blown my top several days ago...as YOU did...calling my artwork "shit"...calling me a "whore"...and yelling at me to "get out of my office". All of this I have taken in stride..I have not raised my voice to you ONCE...does this lead you to believe that I never will?

Are you going to make the same mistake Jackie and Golani and Nimrod and Chance Reynolds made??? because I suffer you fools in silence do you think you can do whatever you wish?

I'm coming to the dinner to enjoy myself..to hear Dr George...I am not coming to cause you any trouble...just what is it YOU are trying to do?
