Preparing My First Show, And the 4th

Hola,
The last week has been pretty crazy. It started by working down at the Lake for the weekend, also known as "playland." On the 4th we decided to cut it off at 2 and go out on the lake for some B-Day partying of our own. We tied up with Jared Allen and his 44 foot Sundancer at a place known as Big Island, this was an intense site. Upwards of 500 boats on one side of the island all tied up together with a total of 12 sober people. I imagine. We spent all day grilling and having some refreshments on the boats with a band you might know called Emerson Drive. We then proceeded to watch some fire works and head on back to marina and call it a night.
The rest of the weekend was fun, but a little slow at the store, I guess everyone was enjoyingthe beautiful weather on the lake.
We got Monday off, that's right, another day off. That brings me to a grand total of 4 so far this summer. Now we are setting up for the first show that I am running and in caharge of. Of course, TJ is working hand in hand with me, but it is my baby. We are setting up 12 boats, including a 28 foot sundancer, in a COSTCO parking lot. It just so happens that this show is in the city that is having their annual city festival this wee, let's hope it gets people in the mood to buy some boats.
The big boss men came by and had some lunch with us today. For some reason people get real worried before they show up, I don't understand what all the hoopla is about. I had about a 45 minute conversation with the man who runs the show about mutual friends, we didn't even making to the job. Apparently we are doing good work, that is what we got out of it. We are setting the standard for our position, TJ and I are ground-breaking.
Just another standard week. If you want to come visit, there is an open queen sized bed and good food, just call before you show up.
Pura Vida,
Casey
