Felt Club-July

The backside of Meltdown Comics
Here is my booth. I had to use my umbrella for the first few hours to protect my tees that are in plastic. I hate it when condensation forms in them. I may just stop using plastic but they fit so well in my vintage suitcases.

Today was a fun day. Even though it was uncomfortably hot and customer traffic was pretty low, I can't wait to do this show again. In September, it goes indoors so no more sunscreen and umbrellas will be necessary. I had requested a spot by the building so come 2pm, I would be in the shade. It worked out great.
I arrived at around 9:30 am and to delight, my neighbor was TwoSpace. I knew then that the day would be a good one. Christine and Kent are alot of fun and Christines Mom, Nancy was visiting from Michigan.


The one negative about the space was the aroma of urine baking in the Hollywood sun. Luckily, that passed when we were in the shade. Or else I just got used to it...
My first sale was a "Future Democrat" onesie. I silk-screened a bunch the day before. I mentioned to another customer who was laughing at these (in a good way) that I had sold out of "Future Republican". He didn't believe me. The rest of the day was a sporadic exercise in selling. I think it was just too hot to shop.
Another customer cracked me up when he was asking where the fishie tees were. He had just been looking at them and when I pointed them out, he said "Oh, I though that was some fantastical creature." I suppose my fishie is a bit different in that it is a head-on view and not a side view but I think it still looks like a fish.
What do you think?
A few months ago, I ordered a bag from Cake Mountain. Hazel had it for me and I love it!

I also traded one of my strawberry hat to Kent and Christine for one of Kents leather cuffs. I have been coveting one since I first say them last year and now I have one!

It is awesome!

I also got some prints and a book from Jordan Crane. His work is very cool.
Tomorrow, I start working on some new t-shirt ideas I have.
All in all, a craftastic day.
