Woo. Doing a festival is more work than I imagined. That was a 12 hour day, baby. ...hot sun, physical labour (yes all that stuff came in and out of my van in one trip AND I set up the tent singlehandedly thank you very much!), and working all day at engaging people who preferred to skulk outside the perimeter of the tent and peer in from a safe and noncommittal distance. A challenging task for an introvert. The three coffees and chocolate officially left my body around 3pm, with 3 hours still to go, which is right around when I lost the fight to a bronchial infection.
BUT ALSO...I covered my costs, met some really cool people, had some great conversations, got some really positive feedback, gained lots of beginner experience, made a contact for a store that might sell some of my cards, and successfully did something new and scary.
Another go at it in 2 weeks at the cherry park festival in Kitchener. That's all I've committed to for now, God help me, but who knows...I've got all the stuff for it now! (Including the banner that I hand painted last night at 10pm!! I MIGHT have drunk some rum, straight up, as I was doing it).
Hooray for new experiences and trying new things! (the festival, not the rum...ahem).
