Opening Weekend!

Well Six Flags had its opening weekend last week and was it an interesting one. Friday started quite slow, It looked to be alot of people in the park however the turnout for caricatures was a little weak. I remember last year it was difficult to train the nubs we had gotten so busy. Even the special $20 tickets to enter the park didn't convince more patrons to spend there cash on caricatures. I think we ended the day ok but over all not great.

We did however make up for it with Saturdays Awesome sales. We started that day with a few early sales, and it did slow around lunch time but once it hit 2 o'clock we where on full blast. Our new employee was even able to hold his own against the hoard of guest. I had decided from fridays performance that he was ready to sell full time, and I was right as he work his own till all day. I myself even got to do some drawing at our Blue ribbon booth at the end of the day.

But it all fell apart as Sunday called for rain. Even though it didn't actually start raining till 230 or 3 the damage had already been done as the forecast for the day looked grim. With a low turnout at the park it seemed only natural that it would hit us hard. even our nice covered areas didn't convince the guests getting a caricature was a nice way to stay dry.

All in all I think it was a great weekend. We definitely have a great crew this year and I hope to make lots of money. Maybe even enough to get that BBQ....

Are we ready yet?

Hey so we are looking at just 2 short days till we open up at Six Flags! Oh man I cant wait to be done setting up and down to just drawing. Anyway Gary, Robin and I got both booths open and ready for artists and customers this weekend by removing the plastic and doing some last minute cleaning. We even added the new prices to the register and setup the umbrellas and various other work necessities.

We also got the Body art stands ready to go, we however wont have the Pandemonium stand ready for at least a couple weeks so we'll have to use the Thunder river stand till its done. The booths however are nice and clean and ready to do arts!

But don't forget we are in full swing at our stand down at the STL Zoo. We are currently only running one stand, but i've got a nice list of new artist ready to work as well as some new pricing we will be trying out for the next few weeks. I wanted to wait till we got our new registers before the price change but the boss man wants us to try the new prices at the Zoo before we start using them at the Flags. Anyway alot of new and exciting stuff going on and we still haven't even set up Grants Farm!

Stay tuned!

3 post? really?

So it looks lie I ended up only posting 3 times all last year? Wow, cant believe how I just forget to do stuff. Also its month 3 into 2016 and I'm just getting started. Well at any rate lets go right into some stuff i've been doing.

Well This year I have become the head of operations at our Six Flags and Grants Farm booths, adding that to the work load from the Zoo and I should be extra busy. I spent this week with the boss man cleaning and getting everything at Six Flags ready to open in 2 weeks. Mostly cleaning ad the like. hopefully Everything stays nice for when we open.

I have also been thinking of doing s'more anime posts. The current season has some really great anime I want to talk about. I also want to go through my Weiss and Vanguard decks and really do some deck profiles. Even though our community is quite slow I would still like to get a little more serious about how I post about my card stuffs. I've also started streaming games and the like with a few friends of mine. Playing Smash 4, Mario Maker, and other random stuff, we can be found mostly on Saturdays at twitch.tv/shadezriest.

Anyhow enjoy!
