Festival and other things............

I organised a street Festival.
It was a great event.SO many people came.Easily a couple of thousand.Alot of people came up to me congratulating me on my success.That part was great. What was also great was looking at the car park and seeing it filled with colour and excitement and alot of people enjoying themselves.I helped to create that.Something I can look back on and be very proud of.

The flip side of the event was the abuse that I recieved from people about the car park being closed from 3pm. One woman swore at me. Some traders were extremely pissed off,even though they had been informed several times. They couldnt seem to look past the fact that although it may be a tad quiet for an hour or two,that after that there would be a MASSIVE influx of people and that this would be HUGE for thier business. I recieved alot of negativity at the start.This didnt help my esteem, but I managed to push that away. I have now only heard good things from the traders. Some cafes sold out of everything they had...... The exposure the festival created to our community of local shops wont just be an on the night thing.It will continue for some time I think.

Anyway I was just the coordinator/facilitator for the event.What people decide after this is thier decision.

The council were impressed and offered me a bench mark as to how succeful it was,which was good,because I have never done anything like this before and had no idea of what was a good turn out.Apparently it was good! I am happy.

I am experiencing some post fetival blues at the mo.The adrenaline has subsided and its back to the norm.

On a more exciting note but not detailed.........there is a fella in the works.He is wonderful.More about that when the time is right!
