things we have to do
to prevent robot DDOS attacks

Instructions:  After you enter in the number of tickets or choose any other event, please wait until the “Total” field populates with the amount before trying to enter anything else in the other fields.  It usually takes 4-9 seconds just according to your internet speed.  This is a security script that creates a pause to prevent hacker robots from populating the form within a millisecond and submitting without a payment.  This barrage of robot attacks can hold a site hostage and take it down for unlimited amounts of time.  Sorry for the delay.

During these explorations, she realized she loved the studio experience and started contributing her artistic eye for colors, trends, and design to a wide variety of projects. Her venture with Eclectic Sage bridges her various art forms and allows her to lend a unique perspective to every design.
