Update #7 · Jan 9, 2012 · comment

I want to thank each one of you for the support you gave to me, and the Lydia Gallery project. I felt so honored when you all helped the fund raiser reach it's goal of $1,000 to begin the much needed renovations in the space that was to become Lydia Gallery. Unfortunately, the environment I was trying to bring this gallery into, and the timing itself was not in my favor. I have thought for weeks on what to do, and how to press forward with everything. I am here to inform you all, with a heavy heart, that right now is not the time for the Lydia Gallery. That being said, I feel I have no choice than to refund each backer the money they invested in the Lydia Gallery. I know that many of you out there who are watching this believed in this gallery, and wanted it to happen as much as I did. I fought as hard as I could, and as long as I could. There is only so much fighting a person should have to do. I take 100% of the responsibility in the failure of this project. I thought this was a task I could take on, and make you all proud. When it came down to it, I found I just wasn't up to the challenge.

Gina, Sarah, Liz, Laura, Jim, William, Bruce, Matt, Al, Mikey, Tony, David, Amanda, Lauren, Mark, Andrea, Dave, and 166 Graphics I will never forget your generosity, and how much you all believed in me and this gallery. I hope one day you can all forgive me for letting you down, and not living up to the full potential that you thought I had. I could never thank you all enough for everything you all have done for me.
