Umberellas!

Well I picked up two market umbrellas to warp into one Frankenbrella. I'll take some photos of the experiment.

Mission Tiki expansion

Well, we have our next public event: Mission TIki Drive-in http://tikiinvasion.com/
This time we will be outside. We may actually attempt to build the rest of the booth before then.

We'll have to add:

• 4 more cases
  
• curtains to hide storage
  
• a center post for the umbrella like roof.

We've even talked about getting some floor mats to lessen fatigue for the sales staff (I try to stay out of their way when they are working)

Home Again

We're back and truth be told the booth worked out great. I'm really happy with how it packs up. The backdrop worked out great. Lighting was a bit spotty but that was taken care of by a mad dash to Target.

I'm actually ready to get back to work on it... Just over two months until the Mission Tiki event!

Retro-active posting!

Yes. Despite not having posted about it, Sunday did indeed occur. No need to throw away your calendars, they still work.

Most efforts were spent on finishing(?) touches on the sign and working on product. Now that we are in fact only a few days out on this shindig let's look at where we stand.

Booth

• needs to be packed -never made any cases for the tops but they should be ok this time.
• there are still a few things that could be tweaked but I have no time or energy for it now.
• Lighting - I have no idea if Joe will have something for this but we will have at least Troy's light.

Sign

• need to fill the bases with cement or something
• perhaps a few more finishing touches on the aging if there is opportunity

Everything else has come together pretty well. Most of the product is ready to go and while i will be working right up to the last moment, that is really no shock.
