worst weekend ever

[windrider86]

I did a show in Alamosa, colorado this weekend and it was the worst one I have ever done. The wind was so horrific that booths were literally either flying off into outer space (they were flyig straight up into the air) or were collapsing in on them.
I had 5 people holding down my booth while I frantically ripped off my art work off the panles. Luckily only a couple of small ones were damaged.
Last night the winds died down enought to allow us to set up again so we would have a aplce to sleep. But ny noon the winds were picking up again so I said the heck with it, packed up and came home.
Attendance was less than half because of the wind. The worst part is I typically make anywhere from a thousand to 2 thousand at the hsi show. This year I made a whopping 200 bucks

I am sure the person who bought your stuff was sooooo thankful they braved the elements to get a Wind original!... And tuff noogies to those that did not show up!

This was a tough blow. 150 miles one way. I am so wiped out. Emotionally and physcially. Lets just hope the weather is nicer for next weekends show

I'm sorry to hear that, Windrider. Here's hoping that the next one is better.

Sorry to hear about your rough weekend. I had a look at your site, great pictures! But - did you know that photography is spelt wrongly on the home page. Sorry, not being picky, but it's my job being in print to notice these things.

[windrider86]

No I did not know that. Maybe I am just so tired I cant see it, but may I ask where you saw it

so your name "windrider" came into its own when you were catupulted through the air holding your tent down

sorry to hear you didnt do as well as usual.
is that an annual thing?

[windrider86]

Yes, this event has been going on for 11 years now. I thought last year it was windy, but it was only a breeze compared to the 50-65 mph gusts we had this year

In the top banner it says "Photograpy by" but should say "Photography by"

Sorry to hear about all that wind. Keeping my fingers crossed that it gets better next weekend for you and I. We have to shoot a family of 15 hehe.
