Getting ready

I am one day away from the three day Monterey Jazz Fetival. Much of my limited energy has gone into preparing for this last festival of the year for me. The jazz festivals like this one have been my best bets to sell my artwork over the years, so I am optimistic for a good show. And, if the show does not go so well, my challenge is to keep my spirit up.

I mentioned "limited energy". I ahve obviously been dragging my way through this month of festivals, due to their being challenging physically. There is a lot that goes in to each one of them, and each one of them present stheir own set of challenges. Today, I had an accupuncture treatment with the express focus of more energy and a good attitude. At least with Monterey, I am familiar with the layout and the modus operandi of the management staff, so there is some confort in that.

There will be a few familiar faces to come to my booth, people I have met in past years at this festival. I look forward to seeing them, catching up, and showing them some new artwork. And, of course, there is the music. If I can get someone to spell me at my booth, I will go to a stage, enjoy some jazz, and sketch too. That is a good time.

So, tomorrow, I will once again rent a van, load it up, and drive a few hours south. I've done all I can think of to ensure a good showing, now I have to throw it out to the universe, and affirm that the people who are meant to come to my booth will be doing just that. A great weekend to one and all!
