Stage fright….
March 11, 2010
After 10+ years of doing craft/art shows, I still have the occasional butterflies and nerves about a show.
Scenario: new event on Friday…myself being somewhat OCD, I want to know all the details (who what where when how) as soon as I sign up. It’s Wednesday night and I still don’t have them.
Last night, I had one of “those” nightmares about this event. In my dream, I am parked several blocks from the venue, and when I try to set up, I don’t know where I’m supposed to go. When I finally find that piece of information out, I start to set up, but discover I don’t have a table or any of my stock. I run several blocks back to my car to get the table, but then realize I’ve forgotten something else. Over and over again.
I wake up, panicking. Even with all the checklists (and my 10+ years of experience) I have at my disposal, I don’t want to recreate the dream! So what do I do?
Well, it’s Wednesday. And the show is Friday. Of course, I pack my car with the tables, displays, and stock I’ll need in two days.
