What a Weekend

Yikes - no sleep for me this weekend.

I've been freakishly busy this morning with some very high strung publishers from the east coast!  More on that later (below).  


Saturday I had the Agora Art Fair in Fitchburg which as many people were saying - Is as good as Art Fair on the Square, but without the hassle.

Yea - the tents go over the horizon!  And the quality of the art is outstanding!   Personally I had my best show to date and STILL would have had my best show if the woman who owns Epic had not come by and said, almost literally,  "I'll take that and that and that and that and will you take a check?" As I was writing up an invoice in a somewhat nervous state I looked and saw the check book open with the words  EPIC SYSTEMS CORPORATION on it.

But then she said "Oh, is it too late to add one more?"

All this was about 15 minutes after the show started!  YIKES.

But that was just the icing before the cake was cooked.  It was a good day.

That is my canopy with the rounded top.  This was taken about 3:00 in the lull but I had a big rush at the end.    THAT was a fun day.

We gut up at 4:45 and got home about 7:30.  Long day but worth it.

BUT WAIT - I have to be up early to shoot for Disc Golfer Magazine.  The Mad City Open was taking place with professionals from all over coming to Madison and Tokan Creek, and OUTSTANDING Disc Golf Course (costs $8 to play there).   

There I had the privilege to see one of the top disc golfers in the world, Cale Leiviska.  Cale's current rating is 1040, the best you can have is 1047.  He was amazing.

 
My GOOD drives can go about 240 feet and then I put my arm in a sling.  Cale (and the other 3 in the finals) were throwing an easy 500.

This guy Grant Hilsabeck looked almost exactly like Aaron Adams from Hydro Street

 But before I could shoot the men I had to shoot the woman which was an entirely different atmosphere.


While the men were all laughing and jovial the woman were all business.  There were only 3.


I introduced myself and the one that looked like a REAL pro said "JUST DO NOT STAND IN FRONT OF US WHERE WE CAN SEE YOU".


Ok ok - was I just bitched slapped?  LOL


Plus our round was in a very wooded area so any shots were REAL hard to come by.  Especially if I needed to have faces.

You don't have lies like this in ball golf. 

OK - can you guess who the pro is (1st place), who the model who took up the sport 2 years ago and as gone "all in" for disc golf (2nd place) and who the relative new girl (who would kick my ass).

 New Glarus is next on the schedule that USED to hold the record for art fairs.


Gotta get back to work.
