Trouble is that the band I have been working with is famous for assuring everyone that they will turn up but often do not. Of course this is a common problem but not helpful as I promise others that folks will turn up and then they dont- and without any substantial excuse. The deposit system may help.

to the artcars

I bring the cars to festivals where they are viewed by hundreds and hundreds of people. These are not car festivals but arts festivals with lots of music stages and sales booths. The advantage of playing around the cars is that you can get into the festival without the standard high booth rental fee and aplication process. I just write the performers in with my application and I dont pay anything.

We generally have two cars at any given festival. That means two venues for performers. I have never had an objection to cd and sales around the cars. Organizers figure since they are often not paying us they owe it to us to raise some funds.....

We also do parades....the last parade awarded us $200 of which $100 was for the band.

So there is possibility for some unexpected funds here and there.

Of course I always bring the huge cooler and plenty of drinkables and that saves us expenses of purchasing the same at high festival prices.

So....a fun and rewarding opportunity for people who are able to make committments.

We always know well advance of festival dates so it should not be too hard to plan to be there one would think. But now with the band I am working with I only get 2 of six and the last time none because the guy wanted to sleep in!

Hence....the desire for new staff.....
