This past weekend I did an event in Waco, about an hour and 15 minutes north of here. I drove back and forth Friday, Saturday and Sunday…it was a very long weekend, but I thought the event would be worth it to move into a different market.
The weekend started with me trekking up there on Friday at 5pm to set everything up. This was new for me because I don’t usually do multiple day events where I leave my games….and this was all of my display games PLUS all of my inventory. I was a little nervous just leaving all of my stuff but I was trusting in the process and walked out with just my bag and went home.
That night I had a horrible nightmare that I was at an event and every time I turned around someone would steal one of my games of the table. People were coming up to me and saying very rude, mean things and throwing things at me. I woke up at 4:30am and couldn’t go back to sleep…even though I’d gone to bed late and had a full day ahead of me.
Needless to say the event was nothing like my dream! I met some very nice people, made lots of contacts and even have two or three people interested in joining my team! Definitely worth all the hard work and driving….and the party plan nightmare!
