RhysHere is my Levi Bleam story
I set up at the Pittsburgh show last fall and rented 2 showcases from him. My brother Rhett and I do not do shows so we had tons of good stuff set up and were busy all weekend. At about 3:00pm on Sunday he comes strolling over and tells me they are leaving and he needs his showcases (2 hours before the show ended and with about 5 people still at our table looking through stuff). To make a long story short, he stood there for 20 minutes staring down the people at our table and making comments about how he really needed to leave and he needed his showcases. Some of the people left, and eventually we just started to take stuff out to give him his cases. Then he opens my cases and starts pulling stuff out (200+ old jusdes, Yum yums etc) and just setting it on my table to "help" us empty the cases out. Great business man indeed. Considering he charged us $30 per showcase for 2 1/2 days, this was far and away the rudest example of how to operate a business I have EVER seen and when I go to shows I walk right past his table.
He could have a sign that said "Old Judges 3 for a nickle" and I would not stop to give him the time of day.
