Rumors are not always true:

To all concerned,

We at east coast reptiles would like to make it public to everyone involved with talking bad about us or our show. There have been a lot of rumors floating around about us and i would like to clear the board and state what we have to say.
First off this quarrel with Tony Cueto we do not want to continue and did not want it to start. We are not trying to take tonys shows away from him nor are spreading lies about him. Half of the information we know about him came from people who have worked with him and are now saying we did it. We do half proof on a lot of the issues concerning him and they are all from him and his friends emailing us.
As for the vendors we do not want anyone to choose we feel you all should be able to do as many shows as you would like with out getting the hassle and should be able to do well at all shows. Without the promoter there would not be any shows and without the vendors there would be no shows.
As for our last show we made mistakes and do not blame anyone and did not put all the work on the people who were helping us. The work that they did fork out they chose to do and we tried to help but they chose to do it on their own. They also used to work for Mr. Cueto and then came to us and said Mr. Cueto mistreated them and they wanted to take him under, and in return he called them disgruntled employees and we have proof of that as well. Everyone makes mistakes and it is not right to listen to rumors that are not true unless you talk to who their about. For our next show we are trying to do something different. We will also get the advertisement out there as well. Every show is not going to be perfect and lord knows that. Although you may have done shows for years and years some shows still fail, for example Raleigh, from what we have heard from vendors and that is as far as it goes because we were not there.
For instance there are rumors going around about tony but that does not stop vendors nor attendees from going to the show. We should all stick to together to keep this passion for reptiles going so they do not continue to outlaw them. No one show promoter is going to be around forever and if a new one comes in to carry on what you have been fighting so hard to keep around you should help them.
We would like to know what we can do to make the shows better but if we do not hear from you then we will not know the ideas. We are far from perfect and will be the first to admit that. As for if you hear anything and have questions please ask us before you make up your mind.

sincerely,
lisa campbell
