This will be a relatively short post because I am so smart that I forgot to take any pictures of my first festival gig. I put on a beautiful green silk skirt and rigged up a red striped canopy. It's not as Christmasy as it sounds, I promise.
The event is called The Ramble. I live in a, well, underprivileged part of town. There is a lot of poverty as well as a lot of art and sub culture here. Every year for the last eight years a kind of arts festival happens in this area with artists and businesses participating. It is very colorful and eccentric.
I decided to set up a canopy and a table and read tarot cards at this equally colorful and eccentric bike shop called the Old Spokes Home. I was there from, oh, ten-ish to about 3:30, and earned a little over twenty bucks. I also had a real lot of fun and learned a whole lot of stuff--maybe 3 or 4 things:
1. Wear sunscreen
2. Make a bigger canopy
3. Put some colorful flanges or flags on that bigger canopy
4. Be closer to the sidewalk somehow and be generally more colorful
So one more thing--be sure to check out my updated, clarified, and cheaper fee structure on the Frankly Tarot page, and contact me for a reading.
This is a little tidbit from last year's Ramble. There is an Epic Bike Ride at the end of the day which I miss every year.
