Here's the update for the Pride booth:
1) I got the shirts!! They are in a big box waiting to be taken to Juan's place for safe keeping till Sunday. I can't wait to see them. I haven't peeked yet. Can you believe it?
2) I received enough donations to cover my booth costs in full, plus some to let me make a good 4 ft banner at Kinkos, to hang at the event. And, the very last of the donations even covers my other expenses like making little flyers to hand out to people WHEN I sell out of shirts. Whooppie! Thank you all so very much for your incredible generosity. I could NOT be doing this without you all.
3) the Dave Cullen Daily Sheet Editors agreed to post a little blurb about my booth on the widely read Daily Sheet for yesterday. This is great news, b/c generally they do not promote other people's businesses, since they have to support their own site, understandably. But they let people know that I would be selling things related to BBM and that I would love to meet other NY area brokies. So, I am ecstatic about this. Thanks also to Lynne for getting the ball rolling by posting over on the DC forum in the first place about my booth.
4) The only bad news is that it might rain on Sunday. Lot's of storms moving through this weekend, so please please please, pray for or visualize for me a day of no rain or thunderstorms. Sometimes they are really wrong about that stuff, and I don't have a tent canopy to put my shirts under, so let's all hold hands and see the sun breaking through those clouds and that soft breeze blowing gently through the t-shirts on the rack.
If you are coming by on Sunday, please PM me to talk about when you are coming so I can try and space out the short breaks that your visits will allow me to have! I can't wait to see you all there! This is truly a CT/bettermost group effort and I am giving you all credit where credit is due.
Love,
Jenny
