A friend of mine contacted me to see if I would come out and do a show for her. She'd never been to PC show and had wanted to get some friends together, as it had been a while since the all had a get together. So I said, sure, no problem. We set the date for last night.
I called the host on Saturday and she was all upset because only 14 people were coming! LOL. I told her that that was fantastic.
She called me on Monday all apologetic that several people had cancelled last minute. I told her not to sweat it, it's par for the course. So I asked how many people she figured would be there. She told me eight.
Boy am I glad that I packed extra lap packs! 17 people showed up.
But because they all hadn't seen each other in a while, they were all chatting and not really paying any attention to me. Finally, at 8:15 (the show was supposed to start at 7:30) I got underway. Unfortunately, no one was really paying any attention to me. I have to admit that I did get a little frustrated, but I just rolled with it. I cut my demo a bit and then cleaned up and set up my "check-out" I wasn't too sure what the sales would be like, as really no one listened to me...LOL
Well, the show is sitting at $1,100 and there are still a couple of more orders to come. So the moral of the story is, don't give up when your show seems to be going out of control - the guests are hearing more than you actually think!!
