bad things

Comments (2)

bad things are happening around these parts. First Nat and I went to some “antiqu fair” in chicago on sunday. What a disaster. I say antique in quotes because i genuinely think it was more like a flea market with all the junk. But you couldn’t pick up anything that was less than 60$. and many many things were priced towards 500$ and higher. And i’m not talking about furniture people. Despite that i thought i would have fun looking at stuff. I want to know what is up with the general rudeness we experienced. The vendors were all older, grumpy, and down right rude. They would mock the public and then if that wasn’t enough they’d YELL at you that you won’t find this stuff at WALMART. really? i can’t find old dusty junk marked up 500% at walmart? go figure. i really really wanted to confront someone on their rudness but it was also 500 billion degrees sunday and out of the question. That said Nat and i WILL NOT ever be attending that fair ever again (they also charged you 10$ per person to just get in)

next my computer is on the fritz. it was dead yesterday. dead in the sense it wouldn’t boot up windows. Then it suddenly did and all is ok at the moment. But i don’t know what to think of that.

quickly before i go i am going to take some pictures today at some point. I wanted to say thanks to several people. People who joined the promo swap and actually put some freakin effort into their promos. I’m sorry this IS MY OPINION but i agree with someone else. WHat you make and what you put out there is a reflection of you and your company. And i’d like to say thank you to the following people for outstanding promos and the little gift they enclosed…
karin of wax and feathers, stevie of trudesign, and Nat of the Moustachefactory thank you the extra effort. I’ll post pictures tomorrow.

OMG, I was wanting to go to the fair this past weekend, but totally forgot.. so I didn’t miss anything huh?? I love flea markets, but not when they are expensive!

Thanks for the shoutout! I def. agree that some of them stuck 10 cards in an envelope and sent it off.. kinda disappointing…
