Well … the weekend I had been prepping for the past 2 months … finally arrived! If you haven’t seen the pics yet … you’ve got to check them out! Both Saturday and Sunday were hours and hours of organized chaos!
Even still it was so much fun … and it was so great to meet so many peeps who enjoyed the shirts. I definitely got a kick out of watching people walk by the booth … laughing … and pointing at the shirts. Some folks took pictures of the designs … other people BOUGHT them … thank goodness!!! Chris and I still need to take a final inventory of everything that sold … but … so far … my estimates are that we sold at least 30 shirts on Sat … and at least 100 shirts on Sun. I feel pretty comfortable in saying that both days were pretty successful.
Something fun that happened Saturday … was that Chris was interviewed by the Oakland Tribune. Funny thing is … the reporter was drawn to our booth because we had our dog, Lucky there with us … pooor dog!!! We had previously made arrangements for Lucky to be with a ‘dog-sitter’ … and unfortunately … those plans fell through … so … we did whatever we could to make him comfy … even still … it was obvious that he was a little stressed out by all the noise … and the people.
Chris and I were such an amazing team this weekend! I am very grateful that I’m in a strong relationship … with such a smart … dynamic woman. Her personality was PERFECT for meeting … and greeting … and selling t-shirts!
Well … I could go on and on and on and on … about how great PRIDE was … but … now … I figure it’s time for me to move forward. Now it’s time to take care of all the items in my life that I have been neglecting for the past two months.
Unfortunately … my sister is still stuck in New York … she has not been allowed to take her babies to Virginia … so … please keep her and my family in your prayers. Even though it’s tough that she has not been able to go HOME with her family … at least she is no longer in that abusive relationship with her ‘husband’.
As for me … I’m starting to work on designs for the Folsom St. fair … please let me know if you have any ideas!!! I also need to officially finish up with my business plan … it’s getting to the point where credit cards are no longer going to float the business … so … I’m hoping that a good old SBA backed loan will do the trick.
Take care everyone … sorry for the delayed postings in this blog … but I’m sure you understand.
