Why aren't the # of comments showing up for me? Is this happening to anyone else?

Andrew had an idea like this when we werein art school. He wanted cd's in there too I think. It's a pretty good idea, but $5 art is a bit tricky for some people to make (me).

I find I usually have to manually refresh the alfa blog, otherwise it just shows me the same info as last time I was on the page.

Yeah, there is one in Art Space's lobby...message below for info and contact.

hello all-


This is an email for all who have expressed interest in or are
presently participating in the ART HIVE project. The ART HIVE has
found a new home in the ART SPACE building at the corner of Bannatyne
and Arthur in the Exchange district across from Old Market Square. The
machine will be in the lobby next to Cinematheque starting this
Saturday. The project will be in the building for at least 3 months.
To all who have submitted work, your work will be available in the
machine sometime in the next few months because of the nature of the
machine we don’t know how fast things will be sold and so we cant
guarantee when exactly your work will be in the machine. Please be
patient we will get in contact with you once your work has sold out
and we will give you your revenue earned, as well as your deposit.
Thanks for your interest, participation, and support. yippee
- Suzie & Angela, ART HIVE
