And on that note
Jul. 12th, 2007 11:48 pmI did a show tonight...one of those odd little discount artist shows. It was outdoors, and it's about a three hour round trip. Usually it's an average show, where I put at least a little cash in my pocket, considering that it's on a weekday and I usually don't have anything else going on.
Unfortunately, bad weather came in about halfway through it...just wind and giant clouds, but so irritating that I had to leave. (When I talk to people who are unfamiliar with the crafting world, sometimes they voice the opinion that rain is awful. Well, it isn't the best, but I've made some great sales on rainy days. Wind is the very worst. That's what makes me cringe. That's what ruins sales and causes all sorts of nonsense.)
I now have a bad headache and the ignominy of having lost money, considering the entry fee and the gasoline it took to get there and back. And let me tell you, the entry fee was cheap. That's how bad the sales were for me.
Time for bed.
