Here's just a simple picture of my booth "yesterday" at the "Clawson MI" 4th of July festival.

I took it early in the day. Before I got busy. My booth is that "purple" looking thing in the back.

I'm not trying to brag or anything here. Not at all. I'm just kinda telling what "my job" is like to me.

If you notice, there are "booths on both sides" of me. Nobody is looking at those. Almost "immediate", whenever I go to a show. I attract "attention". Lots of it really. That's kinda why most "promoters of events" want me there. My booth is a "major draw" and it looks good on them to have me there.

This picture was taken when the show just started. I wasn't cutting coins (Jeremy is the one at my bench in the background). Once I start "cutting" everyone wants to see. That crowd quickly grows to like "30 deep". It's pretty much like that most of the time.

This is one of the reasons "I get away with so much" doing shows. I kinda just go.. and do my thing. I kinda think.. most promoters feel "let Gary just do his thing".

I always put on my "show uniform". Just like any other "job", you gotta "dress right". Mine, I make sure my best "Harley Shirt is clean". I usually shave (not always tho). I make sure my best pair of "ripped jeans" is clean. It's my "work uniform".. ya know.. lol.

If I need a 5 minute break. I think nothing of "completely stopping" and sit on the ground. Smack in the middle of all those people that were wanting to see me work. Without saying a word first. I'll drink a beer there if it's one of those it's allowed. I'll say, I need to take "5" to them. They are always like "no problem dude, I understand". They wait for me to get up and work again.. lol.

I actually do "everything against" what a normal business person would say to do. I mean EVERYTHING! My "system works for me tho".

Why am I not "rich"? Only a million reasons I can think of. Basically, I am as big of a "fuck up" on other things, then the ones I am good at.

I can say, I don't know how to "live" a NORMAL life. I really don't. I don't think I could even handle it. I never had one, and the thought of one "scares me to death" really.

I think I'm stuck, living this life for good.. lol.

Gary :)
