Turns out I misinformed my people in the Atlanta Science Fiction Society about
the times – it really was supposed to be from 10 to 3 but I think I
told people 8:30 to noon (not sure why I thought that.) As it turned
out, most of the business I did was by 10 or 10:30 anyway. If I had
packed up at noon it wouldn’t have radically altered my take. The day
was fun but a lot of work. I don’t know how effective their overall
advertising was, but I personally got 6 or 8 people to show up and shop (no one
that came for the books went away without browsing the other tables)
so I am comfortable claiming that I expanded the market for our sale
and that everyone benefited from that.
No Title
I just tried to do the Trackback to Craig Hughes’ disgruntlement post
but got an empty page. Perhaps it doesn’t do what I think it is
supposed to do. I’m certainly full to the brim of thoughts of why my
days are not what I want them to be and whether that means I should
spend enormous amounts of energy remediating that or no energy to
withdraw and let it be fucked. Not a fun line of thinking either way.
Got to get in the shower and get on about my yard sale. I have two
tables now, and a bunch of Georged change. I have RSVPs
from people on the Atlanta Science Fiction Society mailing list who
say they’ll be coming – I hope they don’t hate it or I’ll feel
guilty. In fact, I think I’m going to make one more pass to see what
books I can divest just to get more good stuff for these folks. I’m
not sure when our official start time is, but I plan on being there at
8 AM so I can be selling to the early birds. Must shower!
