We're IN! I made some calls today. I got ahold of everyone I felt I needed too. Damn I hate the fluccking phone!!

The "Bay City" thing is a "go". Everything I asked for I got.

We will have a "booth together" (Me and this other guy, that sells Christian stuff). We can set up tents on the "property (although really not legal). Downtown city in "Bay City Michigan". I will be staying in a tent about 3 days this weekend. I don't expect problems with police. Locally, there is an "ordinance" against it. Yet, I am a vendor. One they want there. Plus the "promoter/owner" knows it's more "eyes" on his property. He owns a "major business" there. The police know (although illegal), if there are some he trusts.. less they have to look into it. So the show "is a go"!

Got invited to a "Biker event" for the following weekend. I think I will do that too. Offered a FREE show fee even. I don't even remember the town. Just I know I sell "great" to bikers. So I kinda committed to that.

After that.. I so want to do the "Ypsillanti Heritage Festival". To me, it's the best show in the "entire state". I had my IN, I screwed it up. I didn't send my application in on time. Well, I need money for so many shows. I may or may not be able to do this one now. I told "Paul" today (the other guy I been setting up with), give them a call. See if we can work together.

I'll admit this "quite quickly". I am NO phone guy. Yes, I can talk to "promoters", but I avoid it like the "plague". I don't like "talking on the phone", and you can ask anyone. I'll avoid it as much as possible. My "name alone" works far better for me. I tell "others", call the "promoter". Use my name or whatever. Say what I am thinking. They do, and usually it works out (for all). Most promoters know how I am. They want me there, and know my "erratic" nature.. lol.

Roxann "Hates" this particular nature of mine. I'll call a "major promoter" or something. Talk a few seconds.. and just toss the phone to her.. lol. She's a "far better" talker, so is "Paul". Let them "talk" I think. Not my skill. I'm just an artist.

I guess I just want to simply go do the shows. I want the "best location". "I want to go in the time I want, leave the time I want". Plus, I don't wanna have to "talk" to any of them. Is this "so much to ask"?

Ironic, usually it does work this way. I plan to "keep it that way"... LOL.

If we can't get into "Ypsillanti" now, there are 4 other major shows that weekend. I'll be in one or the other.

Take care all, Gary :)
