OMG, I think I found my tribe. I was setting up last night and met some lovely people. I actually already knew a volunteer which was awesome. I checked out the space and then 'ran' to walmart for fabric to cover the long wooden table that was pretty beat up. I also needed letters for my backboard. I have enough stuff to really cover the table and have things you can touch and explore. Some other tables have lots of hands on, others have displays only, and some are selling. I don't have a backdrop, but the lady behind me does so I am not worried. I had been joking about crocheting a full backdrop and then the people across from me moved in with a huge crocheted background including 3D clouds and words and flowers layered. I chatted just for a minute and they said it took 4 people to create. Maybe for next year.
People are super nice, they had food and adult beverages for us at the set up party. I get 3 passes each day and my son and oldest daughter really want to come so that is great. They will come on different days and give me a break, also my friend who I helped with Comic-con and her hubby are coming and will give me a break. The people next to me are a Denver creativity group, forgot the name, that host a paper fashion show every year. One of my mindfulness teacher buddies has actually won the challenge a few years! Also that booth is all French speakers, maybe I will remember a few words. I was talking to them and apparently they don't have Dr Seuss in France so I am going to bring in my One Fish, Two Fish in French book. It is just amazing to me how outgoing I got right away in this place, and in other situations I can be painfully, awkwardly shy. I hope there are ways to keep connected throughout the year.
I am awake early, I wanted to make more things to have to touch and explore. I made a backboard with all the different shapes you can use to construct in crochet but I also wanted the same items that people can touch, in the same color coordinated way of course! Work survived one afternoon without me, kids were fine, however I may actually be able to fire someone or put her on notice on Monday. Apparently she did not do her task on the list and even ripped up my note.
