Various designs popular at Biker events. I can't show all, but a sample of how I need to work my displays. Just read below...
--------------------------------------------
The show was very slow today. We really didn't do chit. We paid for "gas", the fee.. and got some groceries. That was pretty much it. Some shows I can do $1000+ a day, some barely make expenses. It all depends on alot.

It was very cold and windy all weekend. That was part of it, as well as summer shows are just starting here. Oh well, you win some you lose some.

When we got there, my display was "upside down". Must have been a big gust of wind. I thought there would be major damage, but turned out to be minimal. Most thought I was crazy for leaving $2500 or more of stock overnight in downtown "Bay City" Michigan (A very depressed area). My thoughts, I screw my boards down tight. There is security.. If they wanted to steal them they would either have to make "alot of noise" breaking into them.. or take the whole things. Both unlikely to me. If for some reason they did (and it happened 20 years ago.. lost all), it would just mean a ton of work for the next show. With my work it's "time", not the cost really. So easier to leave stuff if you feel somewhat safe and take the risk. I've avoided "lots" of packing that way... lol.

The show was productive in one area. The "Tatoo and body piercing" artist was next to us. Well, we got to know and like eachother. We are going to start doing "shows together". Camp out and chit like that. We both do custom work, and both are a "draw" because people like to watch us work. We both feel the same, together we will be a "double draw" at the bigger events. We can share the booth expense. The only thing, is you can't tell promoters outright you are sharing a booth. The reason is, they don't allow "sub-leasing" in 99.9% of the places. We gotta either say "He is the boss and I work for him", or "I am the boss and he works for me" (to people). Either way, I don't care. We both been around forever... That way, on the outside it looks like we are the "same" but we're not. Now the promoters know this really. And they always want good artists. So it's a cool way to work this. The promoters won't care what we do, but they don't want every "shitty ass" vendor doing the same. They will lose money. The vendors they really want (us), can get away with more. I'm giving you some "insight, all in events must be done in a "cool" way. Professionals just want it all to work. Promoters, want the most money they can get... and they get more by bringing "artists in" and making them happy.

So we got back from the show. Not alot of money this time, but I got "Hungry". I suggested we get some "pork ribs" and other things. Cook them up for us and the kids to eat. So the minute we got home, we put them on. We worked together in this. About 17 lbs of Pork ribs (barbecue), she made baked beans with bacon an onion. I made some "Augratin Potatoes". We both add alot to our "recipes". Both are good cooks. Everyone loved it..!!! I hope to hell they continue and appreciate... cost like $50 for everything. But we got a good 3 days eating on this.

When I begin doing shows with this "Biker/Tatoo" guy, I gotta start doing all the more "Biker related designs. Pot leaves sell, Motorcycles, eagles, alot really. I always have to "redesign" my work for where I am at. Normally, I try to keep everything all would want. But when I am in particular shows, I need to do what they like most. At the "Country music fest", I'll have alot of country designs. At the Biker events, biker designs.

I started watching the new movie "Angels and Demons". I so want to see that. I got sidetracked. If you want to see it, you can. Courtesy of online "Hack sites". Those sites that claim to be "legal" because they didn't know some fat dude in a theater uploaded a "yet to be released" movie to their site. They have it, till forced to take it down. Today.. until the laws change, you can see most any movie far before it is in theater. Free..

I'll give you a link to watch "https://www.watch-movies-links.net/movies/angels_demons/". Lots of links to watch here.. from different servers. All illegal technical, but all clain they aren't. No worries, you won't have problems personally.

Question:? What do you do, when your "woman" comes out to you nearly naked. Dressed in "lingerae" and wants to do the "dirty". Yes, you will say "YES".. but you may want to finish a few beers first. Talk some BS to her. Like you need "stimulation", you may put on a porn. As she becomes more and more "turned on" (after you put on some free porn site videos). She will start to help herself.. you need to sit there, and be calm. Let her work herself up. Women are not like men. Thay don't quit after an orgasm or two. They go like an enegizer battery...

Time for "Negotiation". Don't waste this chance dudes. The only times in your life a "woman will" negotiate, if they suddenly become super "Horney". Several ways to make them this way. Don't cheat (never works), but casually look at some other women now and then. it's "subtile", they don't think your "cheating".. but somewhere in their little brains, they wonder if they are doing enough. Or if doing it right!?

So she will come "nearly naked" (in lingerae) to you "late at night. She is wanting "sex"...

Hold out a bit dudes. Talk a little. Offer her whatever she wants after you have a few more beers. Stick to it!!! Honesty is important!! Let her know "this time, you don't need sex from her.. she needs sex from you"!

Don't make her wait "forever"... It's a "gender thing", the attention span isn't long. If you pull this on her.. you will never get laid... "AGAIN".

I negotiated this tonight. I said, Roxann, you can do WHATEVER you want with me! Tonight.. but after I have 2 more beers of course. I just have one "stipulation".. If you wanna make me your sex slave, you gotta tie me up a little. They complain they can't find the "ropes", but we guys can always find those...

Women, are strange about this. I understand. They think if they do this stuff to you, you will ask them to do it to them...

So I said: "Since I am letting you tie me up, and become your sex slave, you gotta be mine tomorrow.

Negotiation.. I did all she wanted tonight.. plus got what I wanted too... tomorrow, I will get ALL I want...

I am such a fucking Pervert!! LOL...
